Start by cutting around the pocket with a border of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. No sewing, just raw edges.

Wash your pockets in the washer and dry 'em in the dryer. This will fray the edges.

Cut a piece from the flat side of an empty milk jug to fit inside your pocket. I wash the cut-out after...it's easier. But if this grosses you out, you could wash out your jug first, of course.

Slip the plastic into the pocket to make it water-proof, and you're done!
