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.

Overall I love my new new pants with extended rear pockets, my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra actually confidently fits in the pocket.

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.

This one is a 75 ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ) that can fit inside a small planter when not in use, or it can be stored in a bag. For people who have a condo and limited space this is good.

PROS:
Easy to handle and store.
Very long length – really compact when expanded or contracted.
Complete package has nozzle.
Shut off valve makes it easy to drain to contract and store.
No hose reel needed, just store in a small planter, container, or bag.

CONS:
-Light duty perfect for home use. Not sure how long it will last compared to heavy duty commercial grade hoses.
-Rubber hose protecting rubber shield slides off from time to time.
-Fiber housing may pickup dirt and get dirty – need to hose off before storage.

Overall, I will be using this 75 ft expanding garden hose ( https://amzn.to/3vi1zxS ) daily for gardening and around the home, as it is faster, flexible, and more convenient for 90% of all the outside water hose needs. Definitely good for folks who have trouble with lifting or handling heavy garden hoses. Its also very space saving.
