I would DEFINITELY remove the pockets. Separate the front from the back at the side seams, remove your extra fabric (and pockets), baste it first--either with pins or a long basting stitch. Then check your fit. After you like the fit, you can either add pockets back in if you'd like, and then sew your side seams.

There will probably be a seam in the front or back of the skirt besides the ones on the sides. I would cut down this seam and then sew it according to size :D<br><b>References : </b><br> I'm not sure why you would remove the pockets, but it is definitely possible to make the skirt smaller.
