Print out the paper pattern. Use a pen to trace two pockets onto your skirt fabric and two pockets onto your contrasting backing fabric. Do not cut on the line, cut 1 cm outside the line.
Cut a piece of doily and pin it to the front of your pocket, with the raw edges overhanging at the top by 1 cm.

3.
Fold the raw edge to the back and hand stitch it in place.
