Sewing Tutorial: How to Sew a Single Welt Pocket

[@genetrujillo7335]

It’s been a few years since I’ve sewn trousers, especially making welt pockets. But this tutorial made this process so simple and easy that I want to say thank you so much for refreshing my sewing skills!

I've watched a few videos now and so far this is the best technique. Thanks!

[@SeamworkVideo]

I consider myself a very proficient sewist and found your video because I couldn't remember how to install the welt pocket. Thank you, for a clear easy to follow, clean tutorial.

I'm gonna add some welt pockets to the lining of my Camden cape!

This was really helpful I'm about to sew my first welt pockets for waistcoats I'm making for my dad and bro, this made it look so simple, but I'm still gonna do a practice Wish me luck ❤

Practice is always a good idea. You got this! Welt pockets are really fun to sew.

Thanks for the video! It was hard to find one that shows a separate welt like this, rather than folding a facing up to form a welt. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at 4:32 where it says to stitch right around the welt pocket markings, this should be just the two long edges. I went right around and then had to unpick the short edges in order to get it to turn out properly.

4:32 is the end of the video. Let me know the timestamp of the part of the video you're referring to and I'll investigate further!

@@SeamworkVideo oh silly me! It's at 2:05 ... and by the way thanks for making a nice short video that gets straight to the point! Perhaps it can work with stitching all around. Mine felt really twisty and bunchy and I was afraid to try pulling it around too much for fear of tearing something. When I unpicked the sides, the welt piece could then be slipped through so that its ends laid out of sight between the facing and the body. It's so hard to describe!

To fast and to quick

If it's feeling too fast you can always pause at each step, or even change the playback speed so that it moves slower. Hope that helps!
