  Step 1

  We're going to start by making a template. Fold an A4 piece of paper and folding it over. Draw half a heart like so:

• 

  Step 2

  cut it out and unfold, adjust if necessary Now you should have a whole heart shape.

• 

  Step 3

  Pin to 2 layers of fabric for each pocket. I'm making 2 here so that's 4 layers. Cut out with a seam allowance.

• 

  Step 4

  Sew 2 heart pieces together leaving a gap for turning.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut into the seam allowances all around like this:

• 

  Step 6

  turn and iron. Pin to mark where you want each pocket to open.

• 

  Step 7

  Top stitch around the top, starting at one pin and ending at the other.

• 

  Step 8

  Select a button and sew a buttonhole on each pocket according to your machine's guidelines (alternatively, hand sew it).

• 

  Step 9

  Position the pockets on the skirt and pin.

• 

  Step 10

  Top stitch up to the stitching you made for the opening, closing the turning gap in the process.

• 

  Step 11

  Sew on the button of your choice (do this before sewing on the pocket if your machine can do this for you!)
