Today, I’m sharing how to sew the kangaroo pocket of the Ali Sweatshirt. I really love the functionality of the kangaroo pocket. I designed it to be pretty big, with the intention that you can easily fit your phone inside, because after all, what else are we carrying around all the time? If you have a little practice sewing and topstitching knits, then this pocket is really not challenging to sew. And it’s definitely worth the time spent for it’s style and functionality.

When I first released this pattern back in 2017, I created a full photo sewalong to help supplement the illustrated instructions. Since then, I’ve created a bunch of videos about sewing with knit fabric. You can find all of those posts on the Ali Sweatshirt sewalong page.
This Ali Sweatshirt pattern is rated for advanced beginners and is for chest measurements 32-58” (81-147 cm). It’s also designed for a height of 5’10” (yay! for #sewingtall). As always, there are lengthen/shorten lines so that you can adjust the pattern to match your preferences. You can learn more about the recent update to the Ali Sweatshirt pattern in this blog post.
