[@colleenglea]

Glad I could help Rhianna! Sew happy you enjoyed my tutorial and thanks for the kind compliment.

[@TheTrickyTwister]

Thank you so much. As a beginner I was tearing my hair out trying to understand the basic instructions with my waistcoat pattern, I nearly gave up! Your video made it all clear and has given me the confidence to carry on. Thank you :-)

[@claudiaevans7240]

this is the best double welt tutorial I have found. I have watched it several times to make sure I get it correct. It is easy to follow and easy to do.

[@colleenglea]

Wow! thank you Claudia, and for taking the time to comment!

Gosh! This is actually much easier way than the regular one. And You can be sure that welt is in right place.

[@slavomirasarova9812]

Oh, this is amazing, thank you! I was googling this for two hours, but picture tutorials are so confusing and I was getting frustrated. You explained it so well, simple and step by step and in the end it was so easy to make! Thanks a million times :)

[@colleenglea]

[@colleenglea]

You are so welcome

[@chrismia332]

Thank you Colleen for explaining in such a detailed but easy way. I also watched your video on sewing a lining for a dress and I actually sewed it successfully. Now I can’t wait to try this pocket on my jacket. Thanks once again.

[@colleenglea]

You are so welcome Chris, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Wonderful video! Easy, understandable, well produced, and a great British Accent! Thanks!

[@colleenglea]

Glad you liked it Ralph! And for taking the time to comment.

[@sharitahunt6960]

I just wish you were my teacher during school. I would have learned everything much easier. You're making my overall review a breeze. I really really really appreciate and use everything I see you put up. I have a student now and when I want to give him a visual I pull up your blog. Thank you so much.

[@jeaninerodriguez3890]

I'm an experienced sewer but could not make welt pockets and watched at least 5 videos. Colleen G Lea is brilliant because she actually made it simple. Too many other people are way too confusing to me. Thank you for sharing this!

[@colleenglea]

Thank you for such a kind compliment Jeanine.

[@jacmcw]

The BEST instruction video on this topic! (and I've watched a bunch) Many thumbs UP!

[@scooterphoenix]

I did it! Barring a few issue with the thickness of the interfacing and stitching in the ditch, I did it! I was using scraps so no harm, but I'm doing it again with a thinner fusible interfacing this time. I think It'll turn out EVEN better. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@colleenglea]

Thanks for your comment and well done.

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

So that's how you do that. Thank you very much. When ever I get asked how did I learn to sew I will have the honor to say I took a few courses from you. ;)

[@adesolaoyebode1824]

This is the simplest method so far!!! Thank you so much for this video

[@colleenglea]

No problem Adesola😊 Thanks for commenting!

[@gattbe5611]

[@deborahhumphery6156]

You are welcome! Colleen, as-long-as you continue with the wise tutorials for sewing I will continue to watch them!

[@deborahbarnes8377]

I went to London College of Fashion and we learnt a slightly different way of getting the same effect. Although that could possibly have been me just not gett it. Your method is so simple to follow

[@colleenglea]

Hello Deborah, What course did you study? Did you enjoy the experience of being in such a vibrant environment? There are a couple of different methods I know of to get the same result. Sew happy you found my tutorial helpful.

[@Seheehee]

This video tutorial is so easy to follow! I was so intimidated to sew double welted pockets until I watched this! It's so easy! Thank you so much!

[@colleenglea]

[@kristinandaya7918]

Wow! Thank you so much. The pattern I was using gave elaborate "foolproof" instructions and I was completely lost. Your video was exactly what I needed to get the job (which I was ready to scrap) done. Thanks again!!

[@colleenglea]

Glad it helped Kristin! Sew happy you got the job done.

Thank you Bixxy and for taking the time to comment.

[@bixnash1]

My pleasure. People don't realise how much work goes into something like this. Both the sewing and the putting together of such a concise video and are too happy to get all this for nothing. Saying thank you is a small thing. Bx

[@colleenglea]

Thank you for your kind comment Bixxy.

[@jaxconnop931]

That's the best welt pocket video I've seen, so very helpful. Thanks so much.xx

[@BonifaceGatimu]

A million thanks for your great tutorial, you have made it easy.

[@colleenglea]

You're very welcome Boniface!

[@gattbe5611]

I believe the correct name for that pocket is the besom pocket..Love your videos,,a fan Bill

[@colleenglea]

Hello gatt be. It is also referred to as a 'Jetted Pocket', that is what I grew up calling it, the welt pocket is also of a different construction, if you learnt to sew in the UK. Thank you for sharing.

[@linda9pin]

You're very good at what you do and have been a great help to me . I still have a problem with zippers in pants. Thank you Linda

[@maryamheidari5504]

This way is great and very easy and the result seems perfect and clean. Thanks for sharing us.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you for taking the time to comment Maryam.

[@JohnSmith-qj6bj]

Wow! You made that look so simple,cant wait to try it ,and add funky fabric welts to my projects.

[@XKnighte]

This was a phenomenal presentation. I did see that the pocket had a bit of construction issues. The welts were not equal and the stitching in the ditch still showed on the right side. However, for the sake of the video and basic construction, it was perfection. Another tip I would add would be cutting some of the self fabric and top stitching it to the top portion of the lining pocket, so when the pocket gets opened, you see some self fabric, basically, a facing. Another tip is to baste the welts shut. So you can comfortably stitch in the ditch, I understand that the pocket tends to "misbehave". But this video definitely shows that welt pockets aren't difficult to make and it could add lots of character to the garment.

[@jayhefner6680]

You make a wonderful teacher thank you for this great lesson.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you for the compliment jay.

[@cynmum917]

What a fabulous video and simple explanation!! Thank you so very much!!

[@colleenglea]

You are so welcome Cyndy! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@veronicamartinez-nj9cl]

MIL GRACIAS POR ESTE TUTORIAL !!! LO HACES MUY FACIL SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO¡¡¡

[@colleenglea]

You should have interfacing under the button as you suggest and the interfacing will be around 1.5cm larger than the pocket.

[@colleenglea]

Very true. I pin my way out of habit and have done so for many years.

[@berntoak1359]

Woo Hoo!!! Just sewn my first 2 welt pockets. Thanks for the easy tutorial.

[@colleenglea]

Well done! thanks for letting me know.

[@toniaortiz1647]

Beautifully demonstrated & explained

[@colleenglea]

Thank you Tonia Ortiz!

[@trsmont]

This is the easy method of sewing double welt pockets. I tried the other method where you have to sew two welt and then fold each welt align sew etc. time consuming. I will stick with this method. Great tutorial and thank you very much.

[@colleenglea]

trsmont Thank you for your comment.

[@speedracerfx]

Thank you for this tutorial! The pattern I'm working on shows how to do these another way, and it was a little intimidating. Your way was super easy and my pockets came out great!

[@colleenglea]

You are so welcome! Sew happy that my tutorial was helpful.

[@saiqasyed6595]

Mam u didn't mention the sizes of all the pieces used in making this pocket.plz do....

[@judithmurphy1718]

VERY WELL done,,,,,,,,but it looks a bit easier than it is in practice......I am most grateful for the instruction.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you.

[@tmurray757]

Wonderful tutorial! I was able to add the welt pocket to a pair of pants. Well, actually, I sewed it on an old pair that I had previously cut for a project. I will have to open the inseam to make it easier to add so it will lay flat. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@makellingo]

OK!!! BEST VID For this pocket to date!!!! thank you, I have subscribed and will watch more of your videos. THANK YOU, you've made life easier for me by FAAAAR!!!
