I finally figured out why my pocket placements always looked wrong

I was making a pair of cargo pants and kept putting the side pockets exactly 6 inches down from the waistband, like a pattern I saw online said. My friend in Seattle pointed out that the pockets sat right on my hip bone, making them bunch up every time I moved. Has anyone else found a better way to measure for pocket placement on different body types?

Measure from your hip bone, not the waistband!

The hip bone is actually a bit lower for most people.

Totally agree with @cooper.linda, that's the only spot that works.
