Step #1: Next Gather tools and materials. Step #2: Next Create a paper or cardboard template that fits inside your pants' back pocket. Add 3" at the top for the fold-over flap. Step #3: Next Cut around your template through two layers of fabric with its right sides together. Step #4: Next Stitch around most of the edges, leaving the short flat "top" open. Invert and press. Step #5: Next Fold over the top of the flap and stitch across both layers twice. Run a zigzag stitch over the raw edge to prevent fraying. Step #6: Next Draw your design on the back of the reflective vinyl and cut out the shapes. Step #7: Next Affix the adhesive-backed vinyl to the fabric flap. Step #8: Next Tuck the short part of the flap into your back pocket. Secure the flap to the body of the jeans from within the pocket with two safety pins. Step #9: Wear outside at night while you ride your bike!
