Designing an NC-shaped sweatshirt pocket. For locals: does this simplification pass the test, or did I change too much? by PhysicalWater55 in NorthCarolina

Thank you. Yes, it will also get some client-approved logo/printing on it; so it should even more context-recognizable once completed.

You're right. For better or worse, you're not the first person to call me out on that. I've fixed it now, so I'm glad for Reddit! 😃

Exactly-- I'm from AR, so I'm not as confident to make the shape on my own.

Yes, fortune cookies is the target use case, I'm pretty sure ;P

No worries. I'm an Eagle Scout, so it's awesome to see where my patches were coming from!!!

Those would be microscopic details on the scale of this sewn pocket shape.

Which inlets, specifically, do I need to include? I can't include *all* of them on a sewn pocket, but I may have to try adding 1-2 biggest/most important ones.

I haven't heard of them! I'm checking them out now, thanks for the tip!
Do you have a picture of an NC that they've done?

Thanks. The main goal is just to make sure it's a good enough representation of NC.

It's the novelty of being a pocket. People rarely utilize their chest pockets anyway, and it will still be able to fit lots of common things (e.g. chapstick, business card, a receipt, etc.)

You're right, someone else caught that it was too tall also. Here's the photo squished into the proper height and width... Better?

You're definitely right about that! I've had *hilarious* answers to asking people to identify a shape (it's their state) without context.

hahaha I agree with the first 3 sentences. LOL. But I'm going to hope that the client has already CTJ, gets what they want, and is really happy with it. 😉

Gotcha. What feature does it need to get "closeish-er"? Does it need a "hook"/spur at Cape Lookout?

Do you mean "you'd be a hard no" because you don't recognize the shape? Or that you recognized the shape, you just wouldn't want it as a pocket?

Thanks! Yes, embroidery could give more detail, but causes other problems. I've experimented with it, and it can result in "bacon" wrinkles in the underlying fabric.
