how to remove a pocket from a shirt?
If you don’t like the look of a pocket on your shirt, or if it’s in the way, you can remove it. It’s a fairly simple process that just requires a few basic sewing supplies. Once the pocket is removed, you can sew the opening shut or leave it as is.
What you’ll need:
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Seam ripper
Instructions:
- Turn shirt inside out
- Start by cutting away any excess fabric around the pocket. You want to make sure that you leave about ½ inch (1 cm) of seam allowance.
- If the pocket is sewn shut, use a seam ripper to carefully open it up. If the pocket has a button or snap closure, simply unsnap it.
- Once the pocket is open, carefully remove it from the shirt. Make sure that you don’t rip or tear the fabric in the process.
- If there are any visible seams, use a needle and thread to sew them shut. You can also leave the opening as is.
- That’s it! Your shirt should now be pocket-free.

A shirt without a pocket is called a plain shirt. Plain shirts don’t have any pockets, embellishments, or other features. They’re simple and basic, which makes them perfect for layering or wearing on their own.
Plain shirts are often made from solid-colored fabric, but they can also be found in prints and patterns. If you’re looking for a shirt without a pocket, be sure to check out the plain shirts at your local clothing store or online.
