Under-pocket finished

Once both under-pockets were woven up to the pocket opening, I placed a paper strip at this level around the whole jacket body. I used this as a marker along which to position a temporary woven band to stabilize the warps. 
Then I placed the paper strip on top of this band to give me an accurate edge from which to measure. From here I wove the rest of the under-pockets and the part that extends from them around the whole jacket.

I stopped weaving at the pins at the top of the pocket and hemstitched the top edge around the whole jacket to hold it in place until the over-pocket is finished.
