How to Sew a Zipper Pocket - Tock Custom Sewing Tutorial

[@CainHalliwell]

I watched your hoodie sewing guide last night and have just got back from the shop with the materials. Here we go

[@TockCustom]

Oh perfect! Definitely a great time of the year to make a hoodie. Excited for your new projects :D Thanks for watching!

Can you do a video on adding this type of pocket to an existing garment such as the inside of a jacket.

[@cherieobrien1551]

This is why I’ve subscribed to your channel, your “show and tell “ are the best!

[@TockCustom]

Thank you so much, I'm always worried these 'simple technique' videos are too long. Hopefully folks like you appreciate that :) Have a terrific week!

[@Nini-ze2jk]

It's perfect because it's detailed explanation, specially for first timers!

[@leikarthestrange588]

I've been trying to figure this one out in my head for a while! Lol Thank you for doing what you do. Your tutorials have given me the knowledge I've needed to make or mend literally whatever, and I love it!

[@TockCustom]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the comment, hope you keep making some wild new stuff 🤗

[@sew1971]

Very cool to see a man showing others how to sew and to let other men know it's okay to sew too. I am looking forward to seeing what videos you have available. Thanks. 😁

[@TockCustom]

For sure! Creativity knows no gender 🙂 Thanks so much for watching, enjoy all your projects this winter!

[@ElementAir83]

Just recently got my first sewing machine and love your tutorials.. you've taught me a lot!

[@GrandmaSezSo]

You are so good at these tutorials. Very helpful and I appreciate them very much. You made this look super simple. I'm sure it would be harder to do in an actual garment.

[@ronr9276]

Really enjoy your videos, thank you.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching, enjoy all your new projects!

[@Steph_Manzuris]

Your attention to details always impress me. Totally makes me wish I would've gotten a bag from you back in the Twitch Creative days.

[@TockCustom]

Aww thx! I still make bags actually, better than ever :) Didn't I get some chainmaille goodies from you at some point? Hope you're doing excellent!

[@Steph_Manzuris]

@@TockCustom Yes, you have a Jellyfish from me. Orange stuffed ball for the body with the googly eyes and different chains for the tendrils.

[@doen.8724]

I just love your tutorials. Another one well done.

[@Toebex]

Man, you are inspiring. I have been following all your tutorials for years now. I was wondering, is there any way you could do a tutorial for a zippered side-seam pocket? Not the "invisible" zip, but the ones with the rectangular topstitch on the front panel. I have been tearing my hair out trying to figure it out for days and I cannot understand it.

[@cabtoon]

Thanks for your clear instructions. This is the exact project I needed. I appreciate your videos.

[@terryboyd4352]

Glad to see you again! Thanks for this video.

[@nerdaccount]

Planning on trying a trying to make cargo shorts! ThANK YOU!

[@TockCustom]

That's a great idea for a project! Zipper pockets should go great with that 😁

[@nerdaccount]

LOL I'm gonna try to put pockets everywhere!@@TockCustom

[@TockCustom]

@nerdaccount lol DO IT!!

[@dianner6637]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

[@patriciajrs46]

Nicely done Tock. Thanks.

[@daxxydog5777]

Always a very helpful tutorial! The wondertape/zipper is a very good tip that I've used, but if you don't have anything like that, simple hand basting works well. I use a lot of the tape for different things, but Wondertape is expensive, so I use quilter's wash away basting tape I get from Amazon. It's works just as well and you gets tons of it. Keep it in a sealed bag though, all the wash away tapes I've tried sort of dry out after a while if I don't.

[@lemonsqueezycrafts6818]

Great explanation of this pocket. I’ve sewn a pocket like this so many times but every time I need to refresh my memory. It does feel like you’re doing something wrong when you push the fabric through to the back! lol

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching, and I appreciate the comment. Hope you're having fun with all kinds of sewing projects this winter :D

[@sithra74]

Love your tutorials! I keep learning from you.

[@TockCustom]

Excellent! Thanks so much for watching very happy to help!

[@meenanair8312]

Thanks for the tutorial 😀

[@harmonygibbs7904]

brilliant as always

[@TockCustom]

Aww thanks Harmony :) Hope you're enjoying a nice warm winter this year. Big love to you and Jasper!

[@shericreates]

I have to repair a zipper like that in a The North Face fleece. I am not sure how they had inserted the zipper. I am thinking they used some kind of glue because there are no threads. I am just going to sew. Thank you. This is very helpful.

[@sylas9762]

Can I apply this sewing process to the waterproof zipper? I want to make a submersible backpack, or at least rain waterproof though. Thank you in advance

[@TockCustom]

Oh for sure. They make waterproof zippers, they have a big rubber gusset along the teeth. To make it water tight you'd probably have a do some waterproofing on every seam though. Hope that helps!

[@prettyeyescovington5430]

Awesome as always!! Thank you!!

[@TockCustom]

Thank you so much! Hope you're making some terrific projects this winter :)

[@peepers4763]

What fancy machine were you using. Built in thread cutter and an amazing needle threader. Jealously lives here now. Then I saw the price of the machine mentioned in the notes. No loner jealous but now happy for you.

[@TockCustom]

Yeah that machine is stunning! Brother XJ-1 if you're curious. Thanks so much for watching!

[@yvettefeyjoo-booth2670]

Love watching your videos! Always informative and helpful. Bravo 👏🏼

[@TockCustom]

@@yvettefeyjoo-booth2670 I super appreciate all the love ❤️ Thx so much!

[@rocklicker639]

Great tutorial as usual, thanks! Too bad you don't know someone that could fix that shirt cuff for you!!

[@pattycookie2011]

Suggestion: the camera position is not good - the view is too wide and this distorts the image of the fabric- it looks like a trapezium rather than a square....
