How To Sew Inseam (Side Seam) Pockets Like A Pro!

[@deborahhasty8515]

Thank you! Clear instructions gave me 2 side seam pockets on the first attempt. Every dress from now on gonna have some pockets!

[@freakygardener8033]

On my project, I attempted to copy how the pockets are from a pair of my pants. WRONG MOVE! It got all messed up, and I put it down 3 years ago! Now finding your channel, I think I can fix ALL my issues (on THIS project) and finally get it finished! YAY!!! 👍👍

[@SewAnastasia]

That’s great to hear you can fix it. Happy sewing 🧵

Thank you :)

[@ukulelelolo2175]

Thank you so much for posting this! I almost gave up after watching so many who made it far more complicated than it needs to be. This gave me confidence so I really appreciate you! I followed this and it worked perfectly, so easy! LOVE!

[@SewAnastasia]

Woohoo 🥳 pockets all day!!!

[@macuisinesanssulfites4101]

Agreed! I just inserted pockets to a dress I am making. I did one using Anastasia’s method, and the other using someone else’s. Anastasia is the winner! I would like to comment on one thing though: very light fabric is used in this tutorial. Mine was slightly thicker, so I had to trim and press quite a bit to reduce the bulk. After a year of “serious sewing” 🤪 I find I still struggle with this - a video on the issue of bulk would be very much appreciated! Thank you Anastasia ❤

Ja, inderdaad een top video! Figured out how to use a sewing machine for the first time yesterday and I'm ready to try a bunch of stuff, adding pockets to pants that don't have any for starters haha

[@miriamwillis5285]

Tried this out on literally the first piece of clothing I've ever sewn for myself and it came out perfect! Thank you so much

[@SewAnastasia]

That is excellent to hear!

[@chrisb5391]

I know this comment is a year later, but you just made my day. Thank you so much for these very simple instructions!. I no longer need a patch pocket or none at all!

[@abigailbyrdfineart5754]

This is literally my favorite pocket tutorial!! So clear and precise. Thank you!

Timing couldn’t be more perfect. I needed this tutorial yesterday. I have to re-do my first pocket, and will nail the second on. THANK YOU Anastasia!😘

[@SewAnastasia]

Woohoo 🥳 that is perfect timing! Happy sewing 🧵

Pockets have always intimidated me along with zippers and button holes. You make putting in a pocket look so easy. Thank you!

Welcome!

Gorgeous blouse/dress whatever you're wearing. 😊

[@SewAnastasia]

Thank you 😊

[@Hitsugix]

Thanks a lot for this clear video! It took me a bit longer, because I inserted pockets into an already existing jacket and I had to open the lining of this jacket as well, BUT I did it! It might not be perfect, but I can wear that jacket now.

[@margethordottir]

[@tiimezones]

Thank you so much for this video! You made it clear and simple. I’ve sewn pockets twice before but I just figured it out myself, so I didn’t do it in the easiest way at all. But I’ve just sewn my first one using this method and it looks great!

[@SewAnastasia]

[@lydiastewart6663]

Great tutorial! How can I neatly serge the pockets together so that the pocket has more integrity for wear and tear?

[@SewAnastasia]

You can serge them together after you sew them into the side seam.

[@kikidevine694]

Currently sewing my first garment, and this is amazing. Not quite as frightened as I was about pockets

[@SewAnastasia]

[@crescentcanis6491]

I followed the instructions of probably now 3-4 patterns and always made a huge mess of the pockets, not really understanding what I was doing because the instructions were so complicated. After watching this video I realized how simple it actually is. Thank you so much!!!

[@SewAnastasia]

You are very welcome.

[@modestlybee]

Sew simple😂. Thank you. Thus is hie I am doing in seam pockets from now on

[@gratituderanch9406]

I want mine to attach to the waistband so the weight is evenly distributed. I’d l love to see you do that one- because there’s the issue of finagling the opening size etc. I’m adding it to my circle skirt

[@SewAnastasia]

@@gratituderanch9406 I will add that to my list! Great suggestion

[@audreypedragon6646]

Thank you for these clear and exact instructions, but it’s harder on an already seamed garment. Do I deconstruct the whole side seam? I have been trying to just insert it injustice a partial opening and find it hard to sew.😮

[@SewAnastasia]

@@audreypedragon6646 Sean rip the opening bigger then the pocket. You don’t need to do the whole seam.

[@MaPhyu-b6t]

❤❤❤thank teacher

[@Ladyloubug9]

I have a flannel floor length nightgown that was huge and wanted to take in without losing the pockets. This was my first attempt ever at a side seam pocket. Definitely not as nice as yours lol, but did the job. 😂

[@SewAnastasia]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great that you were able to modify your nightgown and keep the pockets. Keep practicing and you'll improve with each attempt!

[@alaskacosplay]

I used this tutorial as a basis for making my pockets but the one change I did was to make the top part of the pocket to be high enough to get to the waistline because when skirts that are cut in panels tend to sag with the weight of the objects inside it so I make my pockets big enough to fit a dog but the top part is at the waistband so that the whole thing is supported and I can fit all sorts of things inside.

[@333_DARK]

Ty so much 4 yur consistency... I hv dah book but cant really innerstand it... So i really appreciLove yur vids... Question.. How do yu know wen to add or not add facing to the top of a bodice?

[@SewAnastasia]

It depends on how you want it to look. There are different methods for finishing necklines. Bias binding, bias facing, facing, lining etc.

[@TaDarling1]

Love this video. Could the pocket be under stitched (instead of edge stitched) to keep the pocket on the inside of the garment? Just wondering if edge stitching and under stitching are the same thing and achieve the same results. Lastly, inseam pockets should always be pressed toward the front, is that correct?

[@SewAnastasia]

Edge stitch is part of the understitch. Understitch is what we did cause we stitched down the seam allowance with the edge stitch. Yes pockets go to the front. Woohoo for pockets!

[@kyrar.749]

How would I finish the seam if I don't use an ovelocker?

[@SewAnastasia]

You should check out the online sewing school I started. sewanastasiasewingacademy.com I think you could benefit from it. Also check out this video that I made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYbVen5-brpgrrM

[@kyrar.749]

Thank you. I have French seamed them. I don't like the look of a zickz stich finish.

[@Melissalovesdogs333]

I was following a mccalls pattern. They did not do it this way. They way they did msde zero sense.this make much more sense!!!

[@SewAnastasia]

I’m happy this way is making sense for you 💖 Happy sewing 🧵

[@lynettemclean5215]

Needed these clear instructions. I tried to sow seams and pocket in one go with serger and cut a hole in my front piece 😢

[@minadopaul8287]

I tried doing a side seam pocket the other day. I had to seam reap at one point as i had turned one the wrong way. I've seen dressmakers mess the side pockets and the garmenr comes out lookinh frumpy. Now i know to cut the pocket in the shape of half an heart, iron and sew a 2nd seam after installing the pockets to keep the pocket down.

[@superdazproductions8461]

Could you, or do you have a video of this....but with a FILLED side stitch style??

[@queeneywarren9474]

How did you get that big pocket can you measure your hand to make a pocket what is the best thing to do I don't have a pattern

[@SewAnastasia]

You can for sure measure your hand and then make a pocket that fits your hand. It doesn't have to be any special shape. It could even be a rectangle.
