Now we need to do the front pocket..if you prefer the 2 small pockets as in the pattern I can take photo and give you dimensions

After all the bags I did the previous way I decided to change it to this type of front pocket

Width is the same size as bag width, the depth of the pocket is approx 9"

Because I wanted the fold down on the pocket I believe I did sew 3 pieces of fabric together..brown approx 7" by width of bag, then the green pattern which will be my band 8" by width of bag and then 3rd piece (can use same brown or any scrap)..sew lengthwise which now makes a tub width of your bag. I cut a piece of batting same size as tube width and depth and inserted it into the tube, folded the pattern green to make the pocket fold.


Likely I'm not explaining it right but I can take a photo for you

I now place the pocket panel across the front bag panel approximately 1 1/2 inch above the 2 1/2 " corner cuts
