How To Lengthen Front Jeans Pockets! (Quick Tutorial)

[@olahlavsova5664]

Thank you, you saved my son's yeans! Great idea. I was lost before I found your video ❤

I'm so happy about that tutorial. I hate the small pockets in my jeans. Heading to the sewing room with my jeans right now.

I'm pleased you found the tutorial useful. Happy altering!

[@babbyblair7669]

why didn't I think of doing this. I HATE short pockets. I'll be heading to my machine with all my jeans. Thanks so much for this.

[@sewhookedjen]

It's my pleasure! We all deserve better pockets. Happy sewing!

@@sewhookedjen I just wonder what they were thinking when they decided to make them worthless to us. It couldn't cost that much more to all that little bit of fabric.

Thank you so much! You make this look simple and easy. I have been frustrated with shorts. Not only is it difficult to find an inseam of at least 10", the pockets are useless. I tried to lengthen a pocket last summer and I finagled a semblance of one, but a good workable solution escaped me. Now, if you can figure out how to make and insert a real pocket into short with fake welt pocket facades on the rear......you will be my hero!

[@sewhookedjen]

Thank you! I have made an insert for a fake back pocket in a very similar way as I lengthen the front ones, but I did have to hand stitch it in place. Hope that helps!
