How to Create a Welt Pocket

[@thatzmental]

Well, thank you very much! I did need to watch a couple times because my brain didn’t want to accept which way the pocket was actually created! But I sewed along with you and it works! Hallelujah!

[@HouseofMissSew]

Brilliant!! I’m so pleased I could help 😊

[@estellawhyte1063]

Great job. I have been trying for years to sew welt pocket and just get it by watching your video. Thanks a lot.

[@HouseofMissSew]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@margaretrose2167]

Thank you for refreshing my memory. I wanted the measurements of your pocket template but needed it right now (being too lazy to dig out a commercial pattern), so I used 16 x 40 cm and guessed where the slit would be. It was for a man's casual jacket. Pocket is great, my placement of the slit on pocket fabric- not so great::)

[@HouseofMissSew]

I’m really glad I could help 😊

Wow! Best tutorial ever! Your tip on pressing the seams open first is a game changer. Thank you so much! After watching this I feel confident I can do this.

Thank you so much for this wonderful training session. My welt pocket still isn't perfect but I will keep practising. You certainly helped. Cheers G

[@HouseofMissSew]

Thank you for your lovely comment ☺️ They do take a bit of practise to perfect. It’s all in the precision of marking, sewing and pressing. Easier to say / type than to do! 😂

[@haripurnomoaji6989]

This technique way more easier than the other technique that i've watched in youtube. Good job!

[@HouseofMissSew]

Hari Purnomoaji thanks! Glad I could simplify this for you 👍😊

Thank you! Happy sewing 🧵✂️😀

[@maryoneil47]

@@HouseofMissSew I worked on this all day to perfect and make it at an angle on a 60’s vintage pattern. I hope to make the dress this week and will post. I struggled to get the pockets right for the angled slash but it was satisfying by bedtime! Yeah and thanks again

[@samraamjad6761]

Thank you so much for given us an easiest method

[@jacmcw]

This is the easiest method KZbin I've seen. Makes perfect sense. I too am jumping into welt pockets late in life.

[@HouseofMissSew]

jacmcw thank you!! Glad I could help 😊✂️ ... they’re not so hard once you’ve got a good method to use!

[@Annie.C.61]

Fabulous tutorial. I shall have a bit of a practice in readiness to do a waistcoat for my son :D Thank you so, so much :)

[@antoniogardner5177]

Where can I find the pattern for the self welt, I have been practicing trying to do the single welt pocket and it always turns out bad. Your technique is so simple and easy.

[@HouseofMissSew]

Hi - the pattern isn’t currently available anywhere, except to students on my courses. If you email me at [e-mail] I can send you the pattern - it’s hand drawn so don’t expect anything too professional looking! 😊

[@patriciagreene383]

this is my first time trying this.. I am trying to copy a pair of dress pants... I have them taken apart so far and wrote the info on the pants I am using for a pattern.. I am getting excited to start this--I hope I can do it... I am starting this at 68 years old...Thanks P.G.

[@HouseofMissSew]

Patricia Greene good luck!! You can do it! There is another way to create welt pockets using a separate welt piece... it’s very similar to my method in the ‘how to create a bound pocket’ video xx

Yu are simply Amazing. Thanks

[@HouseofMissSew]

Deolu Olusanya thank you!! 😊

[@estelachandler1228]

How can we obtain a copy of the course materials to practice this technique? If it requires signing up for a course let us know how! Would appreciate a response since this is a superior technique and I'm anxious to try this....

[@HouseofMissSew]

Estela Chandler sorry - the pattern pieces are only available to my students who are studying on my courses in Brighton, UK. You can create your own pattern piece for the pocket - it’s a rectangle approx 28cm x14cm with curved corners. Fold this in half and then draw on the small rectangle for the pocket opening- this sits on the fold line and extends above the line by approx 2cm. The longer sides of this rectangle are about 11cm in length. You can adapt the size of the pattern piece to the size of the pocket required e.g. change the length to make the pocket deeper or make the opening rectangle wider. The dimensions for the garment piece are given in the video.

Muy bien explicado lastima que no aparecen en castellano los subtitulos

[@HouseofMissSew]

Thank you - If you select the subtitles, then go back into 'settings' and choose 'auto translate' - you can then select Spanish. I hope that works for you! :)
