I guess it must have been :)
Yesterday evening I assembled the pockets:
They still need to be attached to the skirt of course.
If I ever make another skirt following this pattern (and using a similar thick fabric), I'd consider using a different, thinner fabric for the decorative pieces on the pockets though. It was quite hard to pin all the layers together (it's four different pieces at some seams) and has gotten quite bulky. I like how my design with how I laid out the pieces on the stripes turned out though :) I wanted to give it a bit more interest by orienting the stripes on the decorative pieces the other way. I did the same for the waistband, hoping it will look just as nice :)
