[@colleenglea]

Thank you Stephanie for your kind comment.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you so much for your very kind comments. It's a pleasure knowing my video's help.

[@danamiller9080]

Nice video. I have a lot of t-shirts and sweatshirts that do not have pockets. And now that I'm older I need a pocket for my reading glasses. And of course cell phone. So I wanted to learn how to sew on pockets. Also I considered sewing on pocket so that the shirts I have already that have pockets will have two pockets one on either side on the chest. I do not own a sewing machine. So I looked online to see what was available for the top five sewing machines. However I was wondering what make and model sewing machine you prefer or you recommend I'm a beginner so I don't know much how to use a sewing machine yet.

[@colleenglea]

I have provided you with a couple of links of popular machines that are trending right now for you to consider. They are Brother ST150HDH - amzn.to/3wqhUAk or Janome 2212 - amzn.to/3fCDWtH both can cope with different types of fabrics, they are reliable machines for beginners and the reviews are pretty good too! I hope that helps Dana.

[@debibraconi712]

How do I do a pocket with double fabric?

[@colleenglea]

Every pocket is different and the size will all depend on the garment you're adding it too. For a blouse for example, the size would be around 13x13cm's excluding facing.

[@squinternet1]

Thanks for all your fantastic tutorials! You are an amazing teacher! I have a request reagarding how to sew by machine a patch pocket from inside, I mean without any visible stitching outside ... can't find anything about it!

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

Although I learned to do a patch pocket this way many years ago, I always found it didn't make nearly as nice a pocket as doing this -- just make two, sew them together, turn inside out, and you get instant finished edges without having to press edges down. The opening can be topstitched closed if you put it at the bottom of the pocket. SO much easier!

[@jimmychadwick8126]

Thank you for the very clear demonstration. You helped me learn how to do something I want to know.

[@colleenglea]

+Jimmy Chadwick My pleasure.

[@nawtyabizness9677]

Loved the tutorial, but am I the ONLY one that when the intro music came on thought "Did I click on the wrong video? This is the music for Cooking With Dog!" LOL!!

[@HiKimiko]

Dear Coleen - i've been literally scratching my head searching a precise explanation on how to create and sew patch pockets. Once again you are the one who saved me from going mad ). Your video and instructions are exactly what I needed. thank you so very much.By the way let me add that you have such beautiful and graceful hands. It is pleasure watching and listening to you.

[@irishagold]

Thank you for such helpful video! I hope from now on my patch pockets will look as good as yours!

[@m.l.la.r101]

How to fix the dangle part of it !! I bought a dress with front square pockets But they're widely opened it's like something pulling it down ... How to fix it ? Making them straight and tight

[@colleenglea]

It's sounds like the fabric could be the wrong choice for the dress, using fabric starch may help.

[@rarutrili8021]

hey colleen mine doesn't turn out square if not uneven 3x sewing ripping sewing crumpled till I saw your vid

[@colleenglea]

Thanks for sharing your story!

[@rds4629]

so.... I just want to know how to repair a bloody pocket that's tearing away... any short simple vid recommendations? btw, Blue Sky scrubs are great but their sewing/reliability is shit. Four out of four scrubs have their pockets falling apart :(
