How to Make an 18th century Pocket- Part 1

[@kbraz1970]

Thank you very much for adding the free printable pattern for these pockets, very much appreciated.

[@vdubs5189]

Thank you so much. I've made 2 pairs, and I wear them all the time under long tops with leggings (which is currently my uniform). It's so nice having these nice roomy pockets at home and when I'm out.

The puppies are my favorite part of the pocket video. Almost as cute as my fur babies who will be helping me sew my pocket, and outfit!

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

Aggie & Sophie say thank you !❤️

[@noemidax993]

This is my first historical project ever and I'm super excited for many more to come. So thank you for making this confusing process so much clearer with these Sew-alongs ^_^ Sending love from my hoard of unfinished projects haha

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

Welcome we are glad you are here!

[@noemidax993]

@@BurnleyandTrowbridge Helloooo ^w^ The pocket is progressing very well - I'm almost done hemming the front! (I was surprised how fast it's going... nearly thought I forgot about some steps 😬)

[@deb1120]

Delightful!! sewing and puppies...just what I needed on this rainy day :)

[@Chibihugs]

You guys are wonderful. Thanks for the video, project, puppy goodness and quality products.

[@ladytj4u]

Thank you😊❤

[@zsuzsanna227]

This is so amazing. I started hand sewing my first historical project ever, an 18th century shift based on Bernadette Banner's video in the beginning of March. Now I know how to go on once I've finished it. Thank you so much :)

[@ej075]

I'm also using Bernadette Banner's video for my first project! it goes perfectly with this new series :)

[@waltervelleda]

OMG, this is sooo well done and so helpfuuulll! Thank you so much for making it. Just in love with the new series, and looking forward for the new episodes!

[@ladytj4u]

Thank U❤

[@lorim6116]

Love this!!!!! Hope you do this with other garments!!!

[@persiswynter6357]

I'm getting started!

[@TinyAngryCrafts]

This video made me smile. Thanks you guys for this!

[@beagleissleeping5359]

Watching videos like this while trying to decide the best option for adding pockets to my shamefully pocketless skirts.😁

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

hurrah!

[@SarahBent]

Thank you for this. I'm an experienced hand sewer with a pattern but my pattern calls for me to stitch and flip inside out. I was hoping you'd show how to bind it.

[@daughterofbastet]

Oh god the pen scratch noise at the beginning 😵‍💫 It's a lovely intro to pockets, though! (And what an excellent puppy.)

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

Sorry!

[@berrykit]

I've just bought one of the pieced pocket sewing kits - should I prewash the pieces like I would do with other fabrics?

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

No I wouldn’t. You could gently wash it once once you’ve pieced it together if you wish.

[@janeodee1677]

any recomdended guides for 18th century embroidery for pockets and or for garments?

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

Have you ever seen the book "18th Century Embroidery Techniques?" It's a great book and very inexpensive.

[@janeodee1677]

@@BurnleyandTrowbridge I will check that out, thank you.

[@spirit__fox]

The supplies list has gone away with the website revamp. Would it be possible to repost it?

[@LovemySi]

I thought it was a device issue for not being able to see it. I was trying to figure out the width of twill tape to use.

@@BurnleyandTrowbridge Thank you! 😀

[@greeneyedjrzgrl]

I just purchased the pieced pocket packs. Should I line them or somehow sew down the seam allowances?

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

You will be lining the pieced front.

[@greeneyedjrzgrl]

@@BurnleyandTrowbridge thank you!

♥Burnley and Trowbridge Co.

[@ragnkja]

Does the pattern print OK on A4 paper, as long as it’s set to 100% and not fit to page?

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]

You should be okay so long as you print 100%.

[@ragnkja]

Burnley and Trowbridge Co. I tried it yesterday and it seemed fine, since the pattern doesn’t get too near the edges. I was mostly worried that my paper being 6 mm narrower was going to be a problem with printing the whole thing without cropping.

[@PedroAfonsoOliveiraSantos]

In Portugal we say “Algibeira”

[@Kylla8]

Yes, yes. Less sewing, more belly rubs!

[@nicolettejenkins6784]

All of the people she calls out in these videos for cutting corners are me.

recording Doxies is hard.

[@BurnleyandTrowbridge]
