If done correctly, it should look like the picture beside: a pocket with a small part of the seam open. Turn the pocket inside out through this opening. Before turning, you can trim all corners at an angle to get nice points after turning. |
When the pocket is turned inside out, it naturally forms a square. Ensure you push out the points nicely. |
Once you have sewn and turned all the squares, they all need to be pressed. Ensure not to distort the pocket during pressing. It should become a neat square. |
After pressing, the pocket is slightly more than 5.5 inches square and perfectly square. |
Now, all squares are folded once more. Place the square with the seams facing up. Fold all corners to the center and press the folds well. |
The folds must be neatly and firmly pressed. These folds will be used to sew all the squares together. |
Now place two unfolded squares on top of each other. The bottom square has the seams facing down, and the top square has the seams facing up. Sew the squares together along one of the visible folds. |
The picture beside shows how the squares align when sewn together along a fold. The folded corners are all on top. |
