HOW TO: Extend Rear Pant Pockets Using a Sewing Machine.

We are going to extend the length of rear pant pockets in this video. New large cell phones no longer fit inside a standard rear pant pocket without sticking out. Womans pant pockets are even smaller! My mom and I will be using my Brother CS7000i Sewing Machine (https://amzn.to/3E7TWfQ ).

Costco has the Weatherproof Vintage Weather-Flex Pants ( https://amzn.to/3QwggqR ) which I loved the fit and stretch. So I bought 5 pairs with a longer length to use the extra length material to extend the rear pockets.

We used about 3 inches to extend 1.5 inches of the rear pocket.
You will need a sewing machine, we use a Brother CS7000i Sewing Machine (https://amzn.to/3E7TWfQ ) for 90% of all our sewing. You will also need a dethreader or thread ripper. Previously we made a How to hem your pants video. I really love my Brother CS7000i Sewing Machine (https://amzn.to/3E7TWfQ ). I use it much more than my Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ) which we use for heavy materials.

  1. After dethreading inch of the rear pocket, you also need to dethread the hem of the pocket. Be sure to remove all the loose thread.
  2. We measured and cut about 3 inches of material off the leg length
  3. The extension piece was cut to the shape of the pocket to continue the pattern.
  4. We attached the extension onto the rear pocket
  5. We then sewed the the sides and reinforced edge of the pocket.
  6. we finished with heming the pant legs.

My concrete patio looks grey. I been wanting to make it more green.
In fact I wanted artificial grass to make it look like a lawn patio. I got a 8x 5 ft roll of fake grass ( https://amzn.to/3GWDItg). If its easy to install I may just replace my front lawn with artificial grass to I don’t need to water or maintain the grass.

PROS:
Looks like real grass with yellowing under coat
Need to see if it unflattens to 1.5 inches tall

CONS
Sparse drainage holes

Overall artificial grass ( https://amzn.to/3GWDItg) is a good fast solution to cover a patio, put a lawn on an event space, or maybe DIY lawn for water savings and less maintenance costs.

REVIEW: Lithium Ion Ratcheting Wrench – 3/8 Drive – 12V – 46 ft/lb

I got this Lithium Ion Ratchet Wrench ( https://amzn.to/3xiQXkt ) so I can save time over my hand ratchet wrench when working on my cars. There are other lithium Ion ratchet wrenches online (https://amzn.to/3MlV8jK ).

I have an angle drill but some bolt are too tight or cramp to reach. A lithium ion ratchet wrench (https://amzn.to/3MlV8jK ) was better for cramp spaces. It also saves time and my wrists from getting tired. The torque is also greater than my angle drill to remove the tough screws.

I like the LED light and the variable speed drive and control. I typically open or break a bolt by hand, then use a power tools to remove. When screwing bolts in, I start by hand, then use the power tool for driving, and finalize tightening by hand and torque wrench.

Charging took about 1 hour, and it came with two batteries included with this kit Lithium Ion Ratchet Wrench ( https://amzn.to/3xiQXkt ). The other socket accessories are just value adds, i really just needed the wrench and batteries and charger. Overall this is a time saving and useful tool to have.
