Seam 2 Rip

Anthony purchased a pea coat at a second hand shop in Montana. It is in pretty good shape, well except for the pockets.  He hasn’t been wearing it because they are torn so badly.  I was asked to repair it. Anything I could do would be appreciated.  I agreed, but don’t guarantee it. I will give it my Junior College try.

This is a rounded pocket, if you can believe that.

I found two torn armpit seams. They were easy enough to fix. The lower squared pockets were a little tricky, but doable. The upper rounded pockets were a challenge. I ended up replacing them all together. All of the pockets are longer then the originals. The rounded ones are larger all the way around. I think  this will work well for Anthony.
