I just finished another pair of these, and noticed I am not the only one with troubles understanding the instructions for the front pockets... So here are some photos. Maybe not the right way, but a way that works!
Front piece and pocket facing piece, wrong sides together, folds in the facing piece have been pressed to the wrong sides:
Facing piece lined up and folded over once...
Then twice and pinned in place:
The facing is stitched as a binding for the pocket opening:
Then the pocket piece pinned to the pocket facing, right-sides-together (shown here from the wrong side of the shorts):
Pocket seam sewn and finished, little triangle bits trimmed off the binding part of the pocket facing:
Completed pocket basted to waist and outseam:
Ready to move on to the next step!
