Adding Pockets to ALL my dresses

No seriously, why are pockets not a thing for EVERY dress now?

Morgan Donner id love pants that have large pockets so I can carry more things at work

[@fionafiona1146]

Because of the regency clingy, shear fabric showing them long enough to establish purses for those who had somebody to carry those and fashion aspiring the sleek upper-class siluets ever since?... Stupid.

[@Butterflier00]

because fast fashion doesn't allow for it....the fabrics suck and it takes time...

[@Odontecete]

Because of the silhouette in fashion and it's evil twin, fast fashion. The overwhelming viewpoint is that pockets add bulk to the hips and no woman wants to look like she's got bigger hips than she does. Keep in mind, this viewpoint is changing and more and more dresses are being constructed and shown on recent runways with pockets. So they are making a comeback, just like everything else. Fashion is not an island, it is a response.

[@Euromans_left_braincell]

Dresses? Not even pants have functional pockets! They fit half my phone, which I don't like. I wanna make larger pockets for my pants. And maybe skirts as well.

YES TO POCKET REVOLUTION 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Natalia-fq5oe]

YES

[@nimbusstormysheep9553]

Tbh a lot of skirts/dresses need more pockets. I got one dress from a store and was genuinely happy that it had some pockets because I'm always wearing skirts or dresses and get tired of denim skirts being one of the few options that have them. Nothing wrong with denim, but variety is good and even better when made practical for going out and about.

I'm going to share a pocket solidarity story: My parents and I were traveling about 2 years ago. We all stayed in one hotel room. We had hung up some of our clothing in the little closet in our room. It was early in the morning and the room was dimly lit. My dad grabbed his pants and a shirt from the closet, went into the bathroom, showered, shaved, and changed. He comes walking out of the bathroom looking confused. He looks at my mom and asks, "Where did you buy these jeans? They're stretchy." I notice the bootcut leg and the butt pocket detail and start laughing right as he sticks his hands in the front pockets and they stop at the fingers. I informed him that the pants came from Target and are actually mine. He replied, "are all women's pants pockets this sad?" My mom and I confirmed, in unison. He changed into his own pants. We still laugh about it. He says he'll never again mock us for carrying large purses/backpacks when he couldn't even fit his empty money clip in the front pockets. 😂

@@teresajohnson9594 My husband and I met back in high school. One day when we were on a date playing putt putt, he asked me why I carried a purse instead of putting stuff in my pockets. "We're juniors in high school, Caitlyn, you can't possibly need that much stuff." So I stuck my hip out and dared him to put his cell phone, keys, and wallet in my front pocket. All 3 items had been I his left front pocket all afternoon. He started with his phone and he was BAMBOOZLED when it only was halfway covered when all the way down into the pocket 😂😂😂😂 Since then, he offers to carry my bag for me often and he puts his stuff in it, too.

A seam ripper tip - if you flip the seam ripper so the side with the ball is on the bottom when you're holding it, it protects the fabric along the sides of the seam from accidentally being cut or poked into. It also keeps you from stabbing yourself on the pointy end since it's now flush with the seam and angled down instead of hidden under it and pointed up, simply lying in wait to attack.

After I finish this chemise, I'm coming for you!

[@sadiemcc9363]

Oh my goodness I was literally complaining about this yesterday to my brother when I couldn't fit my (rather small) hand into my jeans pocket!! I am definitely going to go on a pocket rampage now.

[@VioletDraconia]

liked for "pocket rampage"

[@sonja5058]

"Pocket rampage" YES

[@totallycrazystudios1801]

"Why do you guys even watch me?" Because we love you, your content, and your doggos

[@AbbyCox]

20:58 "Yes, I can try and turn my iron down, but I won't." Girl. Same. 🔥😎

[@kiara8489]

I feel like I’m commiserating with you watching you explain how you put the pocket in the front seam. Omgggggggg I’m always blasting through these projects and doing dumb shit like that. Thank you for reminding me you’re human like the rest of us. Also, you’re amazing and your videos literally taught me so much technique. ❤❤❤

[@NdayeniD]

I think it really shows how you leveled up in Pockets as you went along :) Great creative choices on some of them, like the heart-shaped window pocket. You'll have to show us how that dress turns out when you do the further alterations on it you mentioned. And can I just say that I LOVE your manicure in the last half of this? So simple, but that bronzy-gold with the red bead is so cute :)

[@MorganDonner]

Thanks so much! 😊 I had a lot of fun with this video!

[@SabethRavenwing]

I love this. So many gals make so much fuss about not having pockets. I'm over here going "Why did you buy clothes without them, or just put pockets in?' They do make women's jeans and skirts with pockets, every pair of jeans I've bought in the last 8 years have had nice big pockets. They are not as slim cut but they are comfy and I can carry my stuff. I either makes my skirts or buy vintage so I just put pockets in if they are something I would want a pocket on. I don't really bother with them as much since I have a really nice vintage purse collection I want to show off. For the most part just works skirts get them, or nice dresses that were planed from the ground up to have a pocket so it doesn't show.

[@Moerkelig]

Morgan: I'm just going to go ahead and pretend that doesn't exist. Me: Relatable, same here.

[@Diniecita]

Anne Sofie Koefoed Jensen Right. Thats why we watch her. Shes real. And I do the same thing sometimes.

[@アシュリーメイ]

it's actually so satisfying to watch pockets being added to dresses because THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE TO BEGIN WITH

[@floram9481]

Morgan @ plastic fabric be like: "If you can't take the iron, get out of the sewing room". But in all seriousness, I feel though.

[@elewysoffinchingefeld3066]

Doesn't have a side seam, no problem! CUT CUT CUT! You're skilled and brave enough to slice right into the fabric of the dress itself! Looks amazing!

[@katcuseo8559]

This is great! Now I want to add pockets to everything. Also the red dress with the heart pockets would make a really cool Queen of Hearts Disney Bound outfit!

[@sheleavitt06]

Kat Cuseo I totally was thinking the same thing 🙌🏻

[@elizabeth555johnson]

"Why the heck, why do you guys watch me?" Haha! So we feel part of the tribe that makes mistakes but just keeps going.

[@Chibihugs]

This is a goal for all of my modern dresses. Yes, goodly sized pockets for all ladies clothing! I love that you leveled up your pockets skills whilst trying different kinds of pockets. Pockets and sedition and sass!

[@MorganDonner]

All the goodly sized pockets forever!! Sedition and Sass would be a good song title :D

[@Margo.Maelstrom]

The mask combined with the vintage/modern dress combo looks eerily dystopian and I'm living for it!!!!

[@Smidgeon-pigeon]

I love how on-brand even the wrapping paper that you use to draft the pocket pattern is. Yay polka dots!

[@celloafterdark4173]

I rewatch this video anytime I plan to add pockets!

[@Jordan-ug7mo]

If you were happy with the length on the red-heart dress, and it’s just the lining being too long that’s the issue, I wonder if you could add cute black lace to the end of the lining and have that peaking out of the bottom of the red outer layer? That might look really cute and save the effort and fabric to lengthen it.

[@pooie0116]

My thoughts as well. Or maybe add a little gathered tulle to the lining to peek out from under the hem of the skirt like a faux petticoat or crinoline.

[@chickenleg002]

Just a thought, if you have a dress or skirt without pockets that you don’t have the time/skills/inclination to ‘pocket’ wear a crossbody bag with it and keep it on all day. Nothing giant, something about the size of a pocket. I loved the video and will be doing this to a few of mine soon, but in the meantime I will solve the problem with accessories!

[@kestrels.9189]

The red dress with the heart pocket is my favorite! I was in love with it on your Instagram, seeing how you did it, now I want to try my own! Maybe even with different shapes! Like a moon!

[@medeaworbs6970]

I feel like a half-moon shape would be a bit difficult to fit the hand through, but from my experience, these shape work: 4-leaf-clover, heart, 5-corner-star, triangle (tip upwards) and diamond.

[@victoriachatfield4612]

I just happened upon your videos today, searching for - yes! - pockets. How fun are you! Although I started sewing 53 years ago, I know that I will learn new things by watching your channel. Thanks!

[@anna7118]

Love the “Yes, I could turn my iron down, but I won’t.” I worked in a drapery shop in college and the irons were always kept on the hottest setting. I now keep mine right up there as well and pretty much only make things from cotton or wool...

[@clestis4591]

I just discovered your channel today and I am now inspired to take on this challenge myself. I have many garments with either no pockets or fake pockets which are just insulting to be quite honest. I think for any garment I sew, I will add in pockets were I can. Pockets are definitely something that can be taken for granted until you don't have them. I really appreciate your remark about caring for your clothes. It helps with longevity and continued love of what you wear. I am also really loving the whole movement with visible mending. Seeing how people are turning mending into an art is really neat and inspiring within itself.

[@beagleissleeping5359]

I've thought of making an under petticoat with pockets to wear with my sundresses that are too stretchy to add pockets.

[@j.kaimori3848]

A very traditional option. Although they'd have the petticoat under the pockets that would hang from a waistband.

[@beagleissleeping5359]

@@j.kaimori3848 that's where I got the idea. 👍

[@KahoriFutunaka]

Thank you very much for this video! For ages I have been sewing my historical costumes without pockets because I just didn' dare to try. But now I have started to add pockets to all of them and the comfort has increased so much! Thank you!

[@morganjerling6785]

Sew a mushroom on the hole as a patch on the holey dress. That'll be supper cute.

[@Ursichan]

I am currently in the hospital, but when I come home.... YOU HAVE MADE ME WANT TO MAKE ALL THE POCKETS!!! I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE HEART!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! WE LOVE YOU MORGAN!!

[@vayermenoviko0linixD]

Pockets are so important. I remember about 5 or so years ago when my cell phone was much much smaller and sturdier than the one I have now, when I could just slip it into the small pocket of my women's jeans... But as phones got bigger, pockets got smaller which makes absolutely no sense so now I want to extend all the pockets I have because okay in wintertime you wear a ton of layers and you have enough pockets, but if you think I'm going to carry my phone in my hand all summer long you're mistaken.

[@heartofthewild680]

Yes. This is why I refuse to get a new phone (also because they’re expensive and they keep getting rid of the features I want, like the headphone jack)

[@IthinkIneedAhug]

I made a circle skirt, without side seams cause I was lucky enough to find a wide enough fabric, and I haven't been able to figure out the best way to add pockets to her yet, I've been leaning welt, but those reverse applique/window pockets are stinking cute! I've also considered doing a cute shaped patch pocket. I have much to think about! Edit: I did some googling for inspiration and I kinda want to do little kitty head shaped pockets! I forgot to mention I kind of a beginner... So this should be fun

[@sheleavitt06]

Those window pockets are so cool. I never would have thought of that and I love it. Why is that not more of a thing.

[@cordeliaface]

"Why do you even watch me?" I find watching people sewing and the creative work into making new clothes/enhancing current ones really soothing. I do not care that you make mistakes you have to correct :)

[@scarletpimpernelagain9124]

How useful, this is why I’ve started making stuff again - pockets! I thought it was a bit of decoupage, a needle case, an entire late Edwardian wardrobe but no. It is for Sedition, Suffrage, Marvellous. Now if somebody can just point me in the direction of seditious leaflets I would be eternally grateful...🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰 Yes dogs, my old Border Collie says hello to all other dogs...and we both prefer leaflets in English - cheers m’dears.

[@annamakesandmends]

There's a show here called The Great British Sewing Bee (same concept as Bake Off but sewing) and a couple years ago one of the finalists made a ball gown with pockets and it made me so happy!

[@panda31415]

The secret to the heart pockets!!! I’ve been perplexed by them since seeing them on Instagram!

[@deborahspooner8046]

I like this because: 1. It’s very down to earth and practical. 2. It is encouraging for those of us who get it wrong and have to keep trying before we gets a great result. 3. The history is enthralling. Thank you.

[@mjgbabydragonlet]

The reverse applique pocket was very interesting!

[@frogem209]

This is such a great idea. It's a great way to use up smaller scraps of fabric you may have and to make your items more wearable. I love that you did big practical pockets! It's annoying to have garments without pockets but even worse to have tiny pockets that don't actually fit anything. Or fake pockets. Those make me extremely angry lol. The heart pockets are so amazing. I haven't seen anything quite like that before. They turned out super cute.

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Patches CAN be great. Several years ago I made a scrappy Christmas quilt top for my sister and handed it off to a friend with a new long arm machine to quilt. She ripped a hole in the backing during the quilting process and was devastated. I told her it was no big deal. I cut a circular patch with a tiny printed teddy bear centered on it. I stitched the patch on by hand with a blanket stitch. Voila! A design feature, no longer identifiable as a repair. IF you decide to fix the flirty red dress, some beading could make the patch look like an intentional part of the design.

[@lnytita6763]

I love pockets! I get excited when I find clothing with pockets (I hardly ever use a purse). ALSO, I love the multi-panel tan Calvin Klein dress and I'm excited you now have pockets in that one! :)

[@lightdark00]

How about a single unseen snap closure for pockets openings are a little too open? Also what fun it would be to repocket jeans with bigger pockets.

[@littlelilyharvester2276]

Definitely what I was thinking. If you wanted to go to a swing dance without a purse, you need something to keep your stuff in your pockets!

[@lorr.jones8887]

OMG! "Repocket"! Is this a new word?! Yes! I love it! Dictionaries of the world take note! Tailors list this right next to "hemming"!

[@suefraser3611]

I repocketed some jeans but added too much fabric so the pockets have taken on Mary Poppin's carpet bag proportions. Seamstress beware you don't get too enthusiastic when making tiny pockets bigger... you'll be elbow deep before you know it.😁

[@eleanorwittering3126]

Intriguing history! And, "I love this tutorial!" Wow! And, it even offers a "little" give to the garment! Welted pocket on your garment: "Very Cute!"

[@EnUsUserScreenname]

The "M" stands for "melts".

[@mofarmgrl]

Oh! If it were only that easy! I think it stands for " mysterious fabric of unknown content" ...lol!

[@nitakimpel8723]

I am so glad to find someone else who is as obsessed with pockets as me. Its the reason I started sewing. I used to go to my grandma to sew pockets on all my pants.

[@threadsandpurrs]

Yay for pockets!! Also, those heart shaped pockets on the red dress are adorable. 😃

[@elizabethfincher3916]

I have been threatening to put pockets in my clothes for years! So, it should work the the way I thought thanks to you showing me. Love your video and your courage to just do it!

[@DogWalkerBill]

What has it got in it's pockeses? --- Gollum

[@LastKatanaGirl]

More pockets!

[@Eloraurora]

You've reminded me of my irrational craving, mid-2000s, for a graphic tee featuring Gollum, a confused salesman, and a pair of cargo pants. I kind of still want it.

[@rabbitlovesraven]

most women are so used to not having pockets in ANYTHING that we honestly get excited when we find them in the most important garments of our life, I know I was super excited finding them in my wedding dress...I now add them whenever I make any kind of dress/skirt I make myself...this is awesome to show others how to add them to existing garments as well

[@MoniqueAO888]

Great !!! The "Tartan"-pockets are just wonderful - I wouldn't have dared to cut slits into such a nice skirt ... actually, I always have a problem to start a sewing-project because I don't want to destroy the beautyful fabric by doing the first cut ... three pocket-skill-levels up plus 60 min. bonus sewing :-)

[@17tmntfan]

This is the video I come back and watch the most- so satisfying to see the different types of pockets and how they improve the garment!

[@k_tubbs]

You should put on the holy dress now and see where the hole falls. Then see if adding a belt or waist band would help. It might not, but it could help jump start even better ideas.

[@lucyrhodes9434]

So much resonates with me here; pockets, cabbage patch utilisation, love heart motif pockets, having to lengthen skirts, video game references, moving on garments in preference for adjusting the temperature of your iron... I shall come here to worship each sabbath day, I feel.
