Turning a sleeve into a pocket
It is the last part of the upcycling post. We have done a new collar, a new side shape, a new length, and now we are going to add a pocket. We are going to turn our sleeve into a pocket.

As you can see, the crown of the sleeve is embroidered too.
In order to keep the design, I tried to draw the outline of the bottom of the pocket.
The straight blue line is the top of the pocket.
I forgot to say that it will be a patch pocket
It is just an idea of a pocket
So, I have choosen a blue line and cut along that line
Then I created few pleats at the top to give some depth and volume.
The next step is to fold in the edge to prepare for top stitching on the shirt.
Eventually, I stitched the top part on the cuff which I had shorten to a suitable length.
Now it is all done.
Make sure that the pocket is placed nicely, not too hight, not too low
