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!

[@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 🧵

[@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!

[@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 ❤

[@dianejohanson98]

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

[@SewAnastasia]

Welcome!

[@inge210363]

From Belgium, what relief in a short and very clear video! Thank you!

[@SewAnastasia]

Welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@mariannebecker5132]

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 🧵

[@sierratempleton9054]

i was practicing pockets and i couldn’t figure out what i was doing that made the raw seam appear on the outside! your tip at the 5 minute mark saved me. great tutorial

[@SewAnastasia]

Woohoo 🥳 happy to help! 💖

[@ellenbronson4067]

I’ve been sewing for years and I still have yet to tackle inseam pockets but you made it look so easy I’m ready to start today!! 🥹🫶 thank you!

[@bookishdaydreams4993]

Thank you for this tutorial! I used it to make pockets in a dress for the first time, and they look great 😊

[@tailoranddesign4395]

I try to understand how people do it! I tried it once but the results wasn't good! Your step is easy and the results were perfect! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I will definitely try your way you teach!

[@SewAnastasia]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad my video helped you. It means a lot to me that I can share my knowledge and make a positive impact. Best of luck with your future attempts!

[@felicitykenter7748]

Great video! Thank you. I'm making a skirt with pockets and just needed reminding of how to do it all with the stay stitch etc. Thanks a bunch!

[@SewAnastasia]

You are so welcome!

[@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]

I'm so glad!

[@cattatuie]

I will be trying this for a pair of pants I’m making for cosplay! You can never have too many pockets lol

[@SewAnastasia]

That's awesome! Cosplay pants with lots of pockets are definitely a game-changer. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

[@WyrdHag]

Thank you! :) I have now made my first side seam pockets! Easypeasy!

[@SewAnastasia]

[@yokedwithbongeka]

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

[@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!

[@sallystella8786]

This was fantastic! Thank you so much! 🩷

[@SewAnastasia]

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

[@gopalakrishnanpremalatha7447]

Great lesson.. thank you

[@SewAnastasia]

Welcome 🤗

[@christinemarchant3130]

So if you're seam allowance is 5/8 would you also make the seam allowance on the pocket openings 5/8? Just wanted to check thanks

[@micahgoettl5933]

Clear and helpful!

[@SewAnastasia]

Super! What are you putting pockets in?

[@micahgoettl5933]

A dress I'm making for a party coming up! Must have my chapstick on hand at all times haha! Thanks again @@SewAnastasia

[@JaphethKofi]

Nice and very easy

[@SewAnastasia]

So good right!

[@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.

[@333riseupxaymaca2]

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!

[@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.

[@user-qn2qq5bw2t]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You made it “ sew” easy. PS. What make and model is your sewing machine?

[@SewAnastasia]

I use the viking Epic 1, 2 and 3.

[@cosmicpuzzlepiece]

Do you have a video showing this process on an existing pair of pants, shorts?

[@MineDeniz26]

Süper

[@SewAnastasia]

Thank you for your positive feedback!

[@alphasky03]

So here I am never sewed in my life thinking it would be easy lol.

[@SewAnastasia]

It gets easier with time & practice . Remember it takes 10,000 hours to be a master at a skill.

[@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.

[@user-xk4lb1fi6u]

Love from Pakistan sister ❤️🇵🇰

[@moonagesyndrome]

brb adding pockets to every dress I own

[@SewAnastasia]

LOL yessssss! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sandrasandy5128]

10-16 23 How do you sew straight 1/8 inch away from seam without a guide? Please do a video.

[@SewAnastasia]

It is easier than you think. There should be a guide on your foot for it.
