I thought of something else I meant to tell you. Of course, this is personal choice.
On the front shirt piece with a pocket, I usually cut a square around the pocket, maybe with 1" space around the pocket for seam allowance. I am saving them for something. I figure they could make a cute wall hanging to stick stuff in or make a cute kids quilt where they could hide their toys. Kids love to hide things. :)
Hope that helps.
