HURT BOOK SALE: The Magic of Pockets (Canadian Edition)

"Thanks, it has pockets!"

Discover why, in modern history, women's fashion deliberately sacrificed functionality for silhouette, while traditionally men's clothing accommodated up to 17 pockets in a single suit. The patriarchy and capitalism have shaped our wardrobes for long enough!

Beyond its brief yet thorough explanation of why feminine clothing lacks pockets, this book empowers you to take action. Canadian author Jess Driscoll transforms frustration into practical rebellion, teaching you to add the pockets you deserve to the clothes you already own.

Simple instructions progress thoughtfully from absolute beginner pockets to ones involving more advanced skills. Basic hand-sewn patch pockets, professional-looking inside pockets, historical tie-on pouches, and specialized carriers are all covered. Each project builds on previous techniques while requiring minimal tools and materials you probably already have.

With hand-drawn illustrations and step-by-step guidance, Driscoll makes each pocket style accessible regardless of your sewing experience. Most projects can be completed in an afternoon, letting you immediately experience the satisfaction of practical, personalized clothing.

Take back your wardrobe from the forces making it impossible for you to carry your stuff—learn to create the pockets you've always deserved!
