How to Sew a Double Welt Pocket

In this tutorial, I share how to sew this double-welt pocket. This step-by-step guide can be used to elevate the more common and traditional welt pocket. If you want to make it a bit more elegant, I suggest making the "lips" nice and thin.

I think this is the clearest and best double welt tutorial I've seen!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful. I'm glad to hear it.

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

I would agree, I would have had to attend a 3-4 hour class hours away.

[@denizberlin9441]

I still do remember when I had to do samples of nearly everything you could possibly sew during my education as a Taylor. All sorts of ruffles, pleats, pockets and so much more. This vid brings back good memories .

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice, I'm happy to hear that the video offered a positive experience. Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself as well.

[@cangel201]

Same here!

Hi. Could you please demonstrate how to do welt pocket in the back of pants if there are two waist darts.. thanks alot

[@patriciajrs46]

​@@aalishas8438May I ask why you would want to do that? I'm new to sewing clothes and I don't understand why a 'special' back pocket would matter. Thanks.

[@dianekoher2324]

Thank you for creating this video. I really like this approach and your clear, simplified instructions. It looks great and I’m thinking your method is unlikely to introduce problems. I’ve done this a few times by sewing the entire rectangle, clip to the corner, sew down the triangle etc. and it can at times turn out a little wonky if you don’t get all the lines just so. Great tutorial.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you appreciate this approach and hopefully it helps you elevate your pockets as you hope. Thank you for watching and happy sewing.

Hi Cornelious , the civil war jacket pattern im using has no pockets, and I'd like to add them for practical reasons at a comic con. (Im modifying it for cosplay similair to star wars imperial officer) So the question is do you have a video where you discuss how far down top and bottom pockets are placed please. Thanks in advance

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I not have such a video, but I imagine you could put them where you please.

А кривляться было обязательно? Да и шить вам поучиться надо бы, шить вы не умеете.

[@NadoCrowFriend]

Always love your tutorials! Thank you! May I ask: How far from the Center Back of Men’s trousers, do you recommend Welt pockets be placed? And, Do you place the Welts parallel to the waist band, or to the grain line of the pant leg? Thanks, in advance!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I personally try to center the back pockets between the center back and outside seam, making sure to align it with waistband.

[@NadoCrowFriend]

@@CorneliusQuiring Thanks!

Can you please do a tutorial on piped western style smile pockets? I struggle with them.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Noted.

[@lupakajsalisa3652]

I got confused once you sewed on the other end of the lining, it seemed like you were sewing it onto the right side of the fabric, and you didn't show turning it inside out, or turning it to the right side and opening the welt to show the lining - otherwise this was a really nice and clean tutorial that I'll definitely be referencing for perhaps some knickerbockers or 1930's skii pants

[@CorneliusQuiring]

May the knickerbockers and ski pants be what you hope they will be :)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

[@patriciajrs46]

That's a really shallow pocket. I have big hands, for a female. I prefer deep pockets. Question: on making shirt pockets is there a method for the math to get the point/angle correct? As a former truck driver I liked long tailed T shirts and long, 7", pockets. I carried my small notepad and my pen in my shirt pocket. Normal pockets were too short.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

In terms of adjusting the angle/point of the collar, I would add perfectly horizontal lines of the pattern and then transfer them over to the pattern. From here, I would create the desired angle.

[@patriciajrs46]

@@CorneliusQuiring Thank you hon, but I was asking about the point of the pocket, not the collar. Thanks anyway.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I typed collar and meant pocket. Same thing applies :0

[@purpunknat]

What is the button hole for? Do you then sew a button inside the pocket bag?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Yes, exactly.

[@kosmopolitas]

Thank you for the video! The explanation is so simple to follow! I hope you will do more tutorials like this. I just found your channel today. I have a question: i am a beginner so forgive me if the question is a bit silly. I don't understand how yo attach the welt pocket to the garment. Should i start the process directly on the fabric where i want the pocket to be placed?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm glad you like it and yes, I have many more planned :) Yes, you're going to do it right on the garment where you want it to be in the end. I would suggest doing a trial run first so you don't ruin your garment and then when you're confident, do the real thing :)

[@_itzdavide254]

Nice tutorial

[@impudentonetheonly]

I love your ‘hand’ language!!!😊

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you. :)

[@stitchsessions]

Thank you so much for putting this tutorial together! I've been wanting to level-up my sewing game for awhile, but never managed to get a welt pocket right! I love that your tutorial has a lot less steps than some others I've found online, but it produces by far the single neatest result! No puckering in those corners, no awkward bulk. I was able to use this tutorial to add welt pockets to a trousers pattern that didn't come with its own pockets, and I absolutely love how trim and tailored it makes them look!
