Make Some Pocket Extenders For Your Pants

Make Some Pocket Extenders for Your Pants

So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there - come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.

I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).

image

See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.

image

 So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.

Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.

image

Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.

image

Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.

image

Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.

image

Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!

Make Some Pocket Extenders For Your Pants

Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.

My Favorite Merthur Fics (Part 3)

Part 1 I Part 2

*******************

Soulmates

* Fundamentally Flawed by QueenofCamelot

”Growing up without a soul mark was never easy for Arthur. According to science, to the universe, he wasn’t meant to be loved.”

* Missing Mark by violentincest

“Everyone is born with a soul-mate tattoo except for Arthur.”

* Tally Mark by supercalvin

“When someone falls in love, a red tally mark appears on their wrist. When the love is returned, the mark turns black. When someone falls out of love, the mark fades, but never entirely. When the person you love dies, the mark turns into a scar.”

* Thousand Times Worse. Or Better? by elirwen

“Forced by Morgana’s nagging, Arthur visits soulbond guidance office. Merlin Emrys is asigned to be his guide. That’s where the simple ends and complicated begins.”

* Strike of Lightining (Canon Era) by helloearthlings

“Uther’s commandment was very simple: If there should come a day when Arthur met his soulmate, he would drive a sword through their chest and kill them on sight.”

* The Secrects We Hide on Our Skins (Canon Era) by Michaelssw0rd

“Merlin had a penchant for wearing ugly neckerchiefs, and Arthur had a tendency to become obsessed with everything related to his manservant. It didn’t help that they both had secrets they wanted to keep hidden more than anything else.“

* Deeds (Canon Era) by the5leggedCricket

“Arthur is coming of age, and that means he’s about to get Deeds—marks on his body telling him of his soulmate’s greatest accomplishments. But as he tries to find his soulmate, he also makes some worrying discoveries about the kind of person his soulmate is.“

* Rings of Fire, Dragons and Swords (Canon Era) by Guardian_Rose

“It wasn’t that he was ashamed of it or that it was ugly like the other children in the village had whispered behind his back or that it wasn’t there at all. The problem was that Merlin had magic, always had and always would, so his mark changed. Not often. Not every week or even every month. But it would transform into something new and Merlin would feel an inkling of the burns his soulmate must have felt when they were first claimed. Arthur’s mark hadn’t changed for years when he met Merlin. Not since a golden dragon had wound it’s way up and around his shin and leg with blue fire just to top it off.“

[It has a 2nd part that it’s still a WIP but looks amazing: New Century, New Mark, New Start]

* One Soulmate to Go by TsingaDark

“In a world where soulmates exist, Arthur still hasn’t found his other half.”

Virginity

* Wicked Game by winterstorrm

“Arthur’s the King of Camelot…nightclub.  He can pick and choose who he wants, and he does – often – no promises and absolutely no repeats.  The night he chooses Merlin might just be his undoing.“

* Seven Long Years by winterstorrm

”Arthur and Merlin are both eighteen, and the both of them are still virgins. One night, they’re a little drunk, and create a pact to lose their virginities to one another if they haven’t lost it by the time they’re twenty-five.”

* Virgin Territory by ingberry

“Gwaine’s parties are legendary. It’s mostly because of the orgy in the basement where people offer themselves up for the greater good. Merlin figures that’s a smashing way to get rid of his virginity, mostly because he’s never seen anyone from his high school at Gwaine’s. The idea seems a lot worse when he’s on his knees, naked and blindfolded. Thank fuck for the guy who grabs him and hauls him back up the stairs.“

* Virginity for Sale by teprometo

“Arthur’s just dicking around on Craigslist London when he sees that a university student is selling his virginity to the highest bidder. He has no logical reason to believe it’s Merlin, but he does, and after some ethically questionable snooping, he discovers that he’s correct. A series of bad decisions ensues.“

* Taking it Slowly (Canon Era) by et_cetera55

“Prompt: Can we have some shy, virgin, scared Merlin fics with gentle and tender Arthur?”

Transgerder

* Summer is Late, My Heart by Polomonkey

“It’s the hottest day of the year and Arthur meets an old friend at the beach.Then it’s sun and sand and love, as usual.“

* Little Wooden Boy and the Belly of Love by new_kate

“Arthur moves to a a different city to start a new life and become a new man. On a whim he decides to share a flat with an attractive stranger, and quickly gets drawn into Merlin’s odd little world.“

This is a beautiful short that totally didn’t leave me a crying blubbery mess (in a good way). 

2 years ago

Guuuuys, okay, what if after Arthur is put to rest, Merlin puts himself into internal sleep. Merlin not wanting to live in a world without Arthur but also not wanting to have to see his friends and family leave him. He will only wake when Arthur returns.

So there is a legend of a man that does not age laying forever sleeping in the catacombs of the to be Camelot's castle. Some tour guides will mention the rumor, "They even say that Merlin still rests below these very grounds. Waiting for his king to return again."

Queen of Camelot, Guinevere, was left with with this secret and respected Merlin to let him sleep. And forever on, Merlin's secret was passed on only to the next to reign over Camelot. Then onto today whoever reigns over England.

He is unmovable by his magic. The room is sealed and can not be worn by time or natural disaster. It effectively keep the castle persevered through wars and extreme weather.

On tours it is a fun pitstop to ask if anyone wants to see if they are the one and only true King of Camelot. As the door to Merlin's tomb will not open unless it is Arthur trying to open it. Since it is unopenable most tour guides just assume the room is collapsed on the other side so it is really just a jest to them.

On one of the tours they don't even mention the door but one guest stops in front of it and asks, "What's through this door?"

The tour guide perks up at the question. "Oh, well that would be Merlin's tomb. Where sleeps indefinitely until his King returns." He bravos and the blonde guest just takes in the door. His dark haired sister shifts on her heels behind him.

"It's just a door. I bet the room is just rumble." She remarks and the tour guide gets defensive. "No, Merlin is really in there! King Arthur just hasn't come to open his tomb yet!" Yeah, he's bluffing but theres kids in the group, so theres no need to kill their imagination.

The woman scoffs while the blonde makes no comment, still just admiring the door.

"Maybe you should give it a try. Maybe mom and dad named you Arthur for a reason." She teases to her brother and he rolls his blue eyes. "Yeah and maybe that's why they named you Morgana."

"Would you like to try? Theres no harm in it. Just pull on the handle." The guide instruction and Arthur really stares at the worn but almost pristine handle.

"Try! Try! King Arthur!" A kid cheers next to her parents and he sighs. Uncrossing his arms he reaches for the handle while mumbling. "This is ridiculous."

He grasps the rusted handle and pulls.

Nothing.

There's a beat and he stands in almost disbelief. Like something in him knows the door should've opened for him and only him.

Morgana breaks into a hysterical laugh that is way too loud in the tight stone hallway. Something about her teasing makes him feel like he's left out of some joke that's being played on him.

"Aw, I guess Merlin won't be waking this time. Will anyone else like to try.

Arthur grits his teeth together and braces his other hand flat on the door. Whispering unknowingly to himself he prepares to rip the door right off its old hinges.

"Your late Merlin."

He pulls again, rougher this time and the door shifts in its lock. The tour guide cautiously puts his hands up.

"Sir, please it seems it won't open." He says afraid that Arthur might just break the door to a room of no actually suprises.

Morgana has calmed down and crossed her arms with a smirk. "It'll open." She says confidently and the guide pales. Because of course this blonde man is pissed and will get this door open even if it means destroying it.

"Please-"

Arthur rolls his shoulders and steps back. Them again with a whisper to no one, "Sleeping in are we? Not suprising."

He slams his shoulder into the door with a bang. Then reels back for another.

"Wait till I get in there."

He mumbles and pushes and oulls back.

"Sir, your damaging historical property!" He tries to stop him and the kid from before jumps in excitement. "King Arthur! King Arthur!"

He steps back on more time and Morgana snickers. "He sure is stubborn, isn't he?"

"Not helping." Arthur grunts and Morgana is holding her abdomen and tilting her head back with laughter spilling out of her. He tries again and again and nothing but hard thuds against the woods. She wheezes out, "He must me angry Arthur." Then wiggles her fingers with a ghostly howl, "Oooooooo."

Now Arthur nows she is just egging him on not because she truly thinks he's king Arthur, no, she's just an actual witch but with a "b" instead of a "w".

Cracking his neck he hisses to himself, no, to Merlin, "Okay come on Merlin. No more games."

Taking a breath he retracts from the door and his grazes the doors grain until his eyes reast on the handle.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me-" Arthur curse outloud and just turns the handle with a click. Morgana falls to the floor and starts crying laughing not even realizing Arthur had open the door.

Arthur huffs hidding his embarrassment.

"I-it's a turn handle." He informs everyone and takes in the room. Morgana now doing the same from the floor. Everyone slient with anticipation and jaws slack.

Morgana sits up with her elbows and look at the door.

"Oh shit, you opened it." She says what everyone is thinking then stands up in shock. "Holy hell you actually opened it!?"

Arthur shrugs and fully opens the door to see a dark stair case. "I guess so." Then he turns to the guide. "You gave it to me right? Undid the lock or something?"

The guide slowly shakes his head in disbelief, "N-no its impossible. N-no one has ever...."

Arthur grazes down the dark stairs and his feet start to move without thinking.

"Go King Arthur!" The kid cheers breaking the slience and the rest of the parton start to cheer as well.

"King Arthur!" "King Arthur!" "Long live the King, Arthur!"

Morgana stares at them then to the back her brother starting to disappear down into the darkness. She moves to follow him but the door slams shut on her. The harsh sound of the slam shuts everyone slient.

The guide falls to his knees in shock.

Arthur spins around for where the light once came and has now gone. But really with it being completely black he honestly has no idea if he is even looking the right way.

"Shit, of course..."

Turning back around, towards where the stairs descends, he thinks, he grabs onto the wall.

"Merlin some light would be nice before I break my neck and die before I get to you, again."

He attempts, successfully, to take a few steps before an familiar orb of light floats to him.

"Hello again." He greets it and continues down. Then it hits him, who has he been talking to? Merlin isn't really. He's but a story, a rumor.

Then he stares at the orb guiding his way futher down into the catacombs. "What in the hell is that thing and how do I know it!?"

He's voice echo distressed back to him against the stone walls and he hears a groan that doesn't belong to him respond back. Then his feet are flying down the case and almost running after the orb.

Swepting around a corner he feels he's at sometime he's down before stops to watch the orb fly up into the cieling then disburses to light the room.

The flash has him wincing.

Blinking his eyes back open the room is lit and he sees him.

A man laying on a stone mantle with hands intertwined on his stomach. Dark short hair, pale skin, red fabric tied around his neck in contrast to his fair features, a red he knows unwillingly well.

He remembers this shade. He remembers this man. His features.

How could he forget.

He could never forget.

Merlin.

His guardian. His friend. His very much horrible servant.

Merlin.

With hands on either side of Merlin's head Arthur leans over him and smiles down at him.

"I'm not going to kiss you awake if thats what your waiting for, Mer~lin."

Merlin's face scrunches up from peacefully to wanting to break out a laugh. He peaks an eye open at Arthur. "It was worth a try." He says and they both break into a laughter.

Arthur lettting his head fall onto Merlin's shoulder to muffle his laughter. Merlin lets his hand settled on the back his blonde hair.

Their cheery laughter echoing loudly in the dusty space.

They are happy to see each other. They are relived that they really got their second chance. They think this is crazy and absolutely ridiculous but wonderful.

A blessing.

A harsh bang against the door upstairs echoes down to them. Then Morgana's muffled voice barely audible but loud enough to hear.

"Give my brother back you demon! Uther and Ygraine will kill me if I come back without him!"

Merlin snickers again and Arthur comes up to give him a knowing glance.

"Want to mess with her?"

Arthur mocks a gesture as if thinking on it.

"Well she was quite the menace in my past life."

Merlin and him stare at each seriously for a minute then break once more into smiles.

"Yeah, lets go mess with her."

Arthur agrees and grabs Merlin's hand to race together back towards the door. The orb closing up and following after them.
