The Modern Welt Pocket Tutorial - Professional How To Guide.

[@bixnash1]

By far the easiest explanation...now to work out placement of the flap. Thank you. Bx

[@marysmith7313]

I've watched this for a 2nd time. Great tutorial! I am 85 yrs. young and I' m going to try it! Luv to sew. It's what keeps me going. Thank You

[@PrettyFlacko251]

Finally a video that has clear instructions!

[@dbrax5001]

For sure😊

[@cs5becky]

1. I've been looking everywhere for you. I caught some of your shows on PBS a few years ago, and was just recently looking for your episode on clothing for people with disabilities but couldn't remember the name of your show, and on a search, all I got was Nancy. 2. Unrelated to #1, I am so very grateful for this tutorial. This is the best double welt pocket tutorial anywhere...that includes bespoke/traditional tailoring that I'm not going to tell you how much I've spent on lessons for... lol. this is so much smarter. Applying the lining over the top, before cutting is...well, let's just say I'm swearing a lot less now doing it this way. :D Thank you for sharing.

[@dorothymlong1748]

This tutorial is the best I've seen. And she's right, I am running around the house putting welt pockets on everything!

[@livingyourbestlife711]

Excellent...thanks for sharing your knowledge! (even after 8 yrs of posting).

[@tonybardsley3611]

This is the best way i have seen yet . Thank You it is very helpfull

[@par4052]

Thank you Peggy! I watched several welt pocket videos and this method is by far the best. It took me about 4 practice pockets before I had the method perfected, but Peggy is right, once you get the hang of it, it's easy and foolproof.

[@paturnellahazell532]

Thanks for sharing, it by far the best demo, I have watch on welts.so simple.

[@alfredomartinez3695]

you are the best presentor...very well explained...thank you....

[@valeriecutler3671]

Think this tutorial is absolutely fantastic . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge very much appreciate this.

[@plf67]

You are awesome! I love all your videos! I decide to replace welt pockets on a friend’s jacket and headed to KZbin for help...oh my the videos were just over whelming with details and then I watched this one...my last one..lol You made me realize I was way overthinking it!!! Thank you for all you do and the confidence you give us in the way you explain everything :)

[@nataliedubious5241]

After spending an hour trying to get my first welt pocket working through more traditional folding methods I was about ready to tell my hubby he wasn't getting back pockets for the shorts I was making.. You're totally saved my bacon with this method, very easy to understand even for a complete beginner!

[@msdenise1258]

This is one of the easiest methods I have ever seen, and now I will try welt pockets on the next jacket or vest I make. Thank you for explaining it so well.

[@lieljan]

Een gemakkelijke en snelle methode, klaar en duidelijk uitgelegd, dank voor het opfrissen van mijn naaivaardigheden !

[@MariaMorales-kr1ps]

This is another techniques you are showing is really easy to follow, very simple and useful in adding more pockets in my pants. Thank you.

[@teriaugustine6464]

Thank you so much for this video. I've watched several today on welted pockets and ended up with a headache and very confused. You just completely broke this down and took all the confusion away. It makes complete and total sense now.

[@Springermom2]

You make this look so doable, Peggy. Thank you!

[@marcellawilliams5903]

I have been watching this same tutorial for the past month now and I finally tried the welt.......omg! twas so easy. ......I've make 5 Jackets for work and input welt in all of them....

[@covenantkeeper15]

Thankyou for your clear tutorial. I needed a refresher after not having done one for many years and I appreciated finding this. Easy to follow. 👍

[@jillhadfield3375]

Many thanks for reminding me of this - I learned this about 40 years ago but haven't used it in recent years. The only difference from years ago is that I learned to start in the middle of the welt strip, stitch to the end and pivot round to stitch to the other end and then pivot and then back to the middle. That way there was not back stitching.

[@sbaumgartner9848]

You're the first person to suggest making a long V cut at each end. .75" long really helps. Thank you.

[@earthangellibra2925]

Planning to sew my first work suit, this will come in nicely. Great tutorial thx.

[@yityphang3233]

Thank you Peggy for sharing this technique. I have always shy away from making welt pockets. Not anymore after watching your brilliant video.

[@gattbe5611]

thank you for this lesson..it is very clear..love your videos.. best wishes Bill, a man who sews

[@rachellejohnson1011]

Thank you so much, I struggled and struggled with the pattern directions. You make it so much easier!

[@missiali]

I am going to try these on my next project. Thanks Peggy.

[@colleeneseine9215]

Thanks Peggy. This is a lot easy and professional method

[@trevorfennell2719]

Excellent video! I have been putting welt pockets everywhere! Thanks!

[@lauralarios423]

Thank you, thank you! You are one of the best teacher I know. Thank you Peggy

[@julia-nc6ox]

wow! thank you for this. can hardly wait to practice!

[@nicholehooper3245]

Thank you! I became frustrated with a pattern's directions and tried this method. It worked great! Thank you for your wonderful explanation.

[@slrcouture]

Wow. This is the best video by far. I will be doing this tonight. Thank you ma’am. You have a new Subbie

[@abitcrazy22]

Setting up to watch this again. Thank you! I want to make a pocket for a cell phone on my side of my jeans. I don't know why companies are not already offering that (except of course, it would cost more!). Thank you!

[@JaijingM]

Love this method, though of course practice makes perfect. So that's what I'll do! Thank you.. Truly grateful to you, and everyone who cares to take the time to share their skills.

[@kelly51757]

You're such an excellent teacher. Thank you

[@816Vance]

Thank you. Can’t wait to try this. Is interfacing needed to stabilize the welts

[@asinheaven]

Thank you so much, Peggy! I haven't attempted a welt pocket in many years, and I was struggling with understanding the instructions for #1516 (Armani's Unlined Jacket). I almost decided not to put the welt pockets in. Your video is so clear and simple, I was easily able to follow it, and was successful!!!! (Ok, I had to un-pick just a little bit at the edge of the first one because I made the mistake you mentioned, not to over stitch, or go through the back-stitches at the end of the V). I get it now! You're a fabulous teacher and designer!

[@OjaioFansub]

this is actually really simple, thanks

[@tracybrewer8237]

You are a great teacher. Such an easy technique you showed us

[@Lindalouise333]

Thank you Peggy, very nice. First I've seen the ends of the rectangle not stitched. Makes sense it would make it easier to turn.

[@dbrax5001]

Thank you for sharing your time and the making of this video. It is much appreciated.

[@Sewintoitlessons]

I love your glass top table!

[@RoyAnn100]

Thank you!! Totally looks simple!! I will try this method!

[@shaimad9245]

Wow! This method really looks so simplistic will definitely give it a go, great stuff!!

[@tri870121]

This method is literally perfect. Thank you so much!!!

[@ArdenKuhn]

Short and precise. Well done. I am going to try it first thing in the morning :-)

[@crzy4qlts]

Such an easy technique! Thank you! I like your comment about interfacing!

[@knelsonatl]

I found this tutorial wonderful! I have been working on 2 welt pockets for a couple of weeks. Of course it doesn't help that I chose a borderline upholstery fabric and grosgrain tuxedo facing fabric(used as the side panel of the jacket front) and the pocket straddles the 2- arggghhhh! But I seem to always be making garments out of the wildest combinations. At any rate, your techniques are spot on and easy to follow. The pattern companies could take some lessons from you!

[@TANTRIKA2009]

Thanks so much! This method works great. So much easier than the way my pattern described it. Fool proof!

[@missmix48]

You are an amazing teacher, thanks

[@erinmergenthaler9829]

Great tutorial, looks easy the way you show it. Thanks!

[@nashrunner456]

Thank you, thank you. Beautifully simple and well explained. I have shied away from welt pockets in the past, made some less that great attempts. I think you’re correct...it will be tough to goof it up using this method!

[@marilyn6068]

Wow, I am going to try this method shortly. You explained it very well. Thanks for sharing.

[@vminifie837]

Amazing 🎉 just to be clear, the welts are one inch wide after folding and pressing. Thus they are cut @ 2 inches wide?

[@louisasmith3430]

Wonderful and so easy!

[@wahinenuiloa]

Thank You. Really the best demo Iʻve come across.

[@catmintable]

Thanks. I got a Burda pattern that does not explain this very well. I needed the clarification and your method makes it look easy. Fingers crossed!

[@robynbieber4275]

Best one Ive seen on this subject!

[@jenniferbarrett8115]

I LOVE this. Was about ready to ruin three waistcoats I'm making for a wedding before I found your tutorial! :-)

[@rosejacks8662]

Best welt pocket tutorial, thank you!

[@florinebynum5207]

best welt demo ever!!

[@944gemma]

What a great lesson.

[@jomimms267]

great tutorial! subtitled, 'welt pockets de-mystified' - you made this high fashion technique look so very simple and unintimidating. Thanks!

[@twilamohammed3426]

❤this demonstration , its a well explained visual ❤nicely done . TYVM ❤

[@minhphat85]

Great guiding, thank you very much!

[@Diva9000x]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@trudywolcott7419]

Just before the ends are stitched, would you recommend a basting,zigzag stitch that connects,the welts? Thank you for this technique. 😊

[@madhumitaghosh713]

woww. u make it soo soo easy and simple. thank you soooo much

[@africanhistory]

makes it look so easy compared to other methods. issue is making those strips perfect

[@SilhouettePeeps]

The strips you start with are 1 inch wide. Fold them in half to be 1/2 inch wide and then stitch them in the middle, 1/4 inch on each side of the stitching. Hope that clarifies. Peggy

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

For anyone who prefers it mathematically : * Cut width of welt strips: X (1.0") * Folded width of welt strips: 0.5X (½") * Stitch on centre-line of each welt: 0.25X (¼") from edges * Distance between stitch lines: 0.25X + 0.25X (¼" + ¼" = ½") * Finished width of each welt: 0.25X (¼") Thin materials will behave close to the mathematical model; thick materials less so.

[@BeachPeach2010]

Clear and concise. Thank you!

[@AsteriETERNAL]

I love the 'funky colours'!!! :-)))

[@katerinaatkinson6527]

amazing! Thank you for a simple method. I'll be doing this right now.

[@annellapeters5894]

i love it you make it so easy will be trying this for sure. Thank you

[@MichaelBearMT]

Hi Peggy! I really like this. I'm not a very experienced sewing machine user so my results aren't as nice as yours, but this method has allowed me to put welted pockets in some of my favorite graphic t-shirts that I couldn't wear because of my cell phone can be in my pants pockets.One comment, there is a loud hum on the audio. I suspect that is because of an impedance miss-match microphone and mic-jack.

[@b0sseslady1]

Thank you, excellent tutorial and explained perfectly.

[@deenel8700]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this amazing tips

[@teresachardy]

This was great. Thank you.

[@bakesbytyra]

Thank you so much for your video!!! I have been trying to figure out how to sew a welt pocket and couldn't get my head around it, but your video simplified it. Could you show an example with thicker fabric pls ie a wool blazer etc? I want to sew welt pockets on a wool cardigan/jacket I am sewing and am worried it will be too thick at the corners.

[@cindywilshire8700]

Easy technique. Thank you

[@BratBustersParenting]

Great tutorial. Just wondering though, why do you say at the end NOT to press it?

[@anthonykirkendhall4344]

Very Impressive!! More! More! More!

[@marcellawilliams5903]

Thanks so much for this easy explained tutorial. ... ......now I would love to see welts with a flop.... ..Jamaica

[@sophia7shekinah]

Love you . Thanks 👍

[@kitemed5194]

Love this method so easy.

[@squinternet1]

Thanks for your amazing tutorials! Let me just ask you, aparti from handstitching, do you know an easy method for patch pockets with no visible stitching from the outside? Like the ones you normally see on coats or jackets, they are machine sewn from the inside. How do you do that! Please help!

[@syedsaimhomemade]

great tutorial

[@hyderhode]

Thank you, Peggy. I am in my sixties and new to seeing, do this is very helpful. But a question: should I top-stitch the pocket in completion?

[@brettlefevre30]

I just have a quick question, when you say the welt strips are 8 inches long by 1 inch wide, is that after you have them folded and pressed, so did you cut them to be 2 inches and then fold them in 1/2 inch? I just wasn't sure about that but otherwise thank you!
