Bed Pockets Tutorial
By Creating my way to Success
First you need to choose your fabric, and cut the following:Main fabric: 85cm x 40cmTop flap: 15cm x 40cmInside drawer magic grip: 20cm x 34cmStitch in Velcro 10cm piece.(The magic grip stuff is the rubbery mesh rolls you can buy to line your kitchen drawers with - this justhelps hold the bed pockets in place under the mattress - but you could change this for Velcro strapsor ties - it just depends on what kind of bed base you have.My original ones had Velcro straps which tied around the metal frame base under the mattress
 –
Ifyou can tie or Velcro the pocket to the bed frame, it can take much more weight in terms of books!)First of all take the top flat piece and make all 4 edges neat by double turning them and stitching:

Then stitch one side of the Velcro piece centrally and close to one edge:Next take your main fabric piece, double turn and stitch one of the shorter edges to neaten, then stitchon the other Velcro piece centrally and 3cm down from the finished edge.

Next fold the main piece of fabric right sides together to form the pocket. From the fold to the finishededge should be 28cm.(Of course beds may vary in height - the one I'm working on, where the base and mattress meet tothe floor is 34cm)Stitch both sides (I use 3/8" or 1cm seam)Next you need to box out the corners of the pocket so you can fit lots of books in!To do this, reach your hand inside the pocket you just created and flatten out the corner with theseam in the middle:
