This technique may help a little, but they may still open a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-for-baggy-jeans-pockets#post-1358166 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:36:58 +0000 Diana 1358166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever! You don't by any chance have a trick to keep side entry trouser pockets from bulging, do you? I just sew them shut but wish there was a way to keep them functional! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-for-baggy-jeans-pockets#post-1358162 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:34:01 +0000 Anonymous 1358162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes exactly QG. Although I don't stuff my pocket with things I do like somewhere to pop a tissue so I like to keep the pockets functional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-for-baggy-jeans-pockets#post-1358099 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:44:31 +0000 Quietgirl 1358099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea. The pockets are useable that way. If you sew them closed toe remove the baggy factor , they are useless. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-fix-for-baggy-jeans-pockets#post-1358087 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:32:50 +0000 Anonymous 1358087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about you but on some of my jeans the front pockets seem to sort of pull out and up, as in the pocket bag lifts up and then you get a bulgey hip look. Well, I'm in the process of taking in the waist of my boyfriend jeans and while I'm at it I thought I'd fix the pocket problem. All I used was a scrap of cotton sewn to the front edge of the pocket bag and then secured around the zip on the inside. An added bonus is a panel that hold in your tummy a little. Some jeans brands already have this feature, but I thought I'd share this with you as it's so easy. </p>
