A pocket for a pump

Several years ago I had a denim dress with side seam pockets. I opened the seam inside the pocket just below where the pocket attached to the waist.
It worked great to have my insulin pump in the pocket.

This summer I decided to make a dress with a waistline seam and remembered the denim dress. On the right pocket I turned a hem on the seam inside the pocket just bigger than my pump. The rest of the pocket is sewn the normal way. This dress has slant pockets but the idea would work with inseam pockets as well.

The top photo is the outside of the pocket. The bottom photo is the inside of the pocket. You can see into the pocket through the pump opening, some of my black insulin pump is visible in the pocket. This will be a feature on any dress with a pocket from now on.

Both pictures really are of the same dress, when I edited the photos so it was easier to see the details, I didn't check that both were still the same color. The actual color of the dress is between the 2 pictures.

Alpine Loop Pictures

I have been doing a few fiber things, just not blogging about it.

One of my favorite places to enjoy nature is is a local scenic area called the Alpine Loop. The leaves are starting to turn a bit early this year. Spotten.org has a few of the 297 pictures I took last weekend. The clouds were beautiful so the last 2 pictures are of the sky, not the leaves

Warning: Total file size for the pictures is about 1 mg. On dial up this will be slow or very slow.
