What you’ll need:
Denim
Ruler or tape measure
Scissors
Backpack

Directions:
Step 1: Find a wash of denim that you like.
Step 2: Measure the pocket you will be replacing.
Step 3: Map out the measurements from step two on the denim you chose.
Step 4: Cut the outline with scissors.
Step 5: Align the fabric on top of the pocket and use push pins along the perimeter to hold it in place.
Step 6: Use a needle and thread to adhere the fabric over the pocket. You’re finished!
