    I've seen loads of examples of how to sew a welt pocket and this by far is the best way to do it. It makes sewing fun a pleasure and fuss free . Also I love that you're video doesn't has horrid music playing with no dialogue. Straight forward plain easy to understand instructions. I am looking forward to seeing other videos that you have made . Kind regards from a gentleman in the UK. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲

    Aha! Thank you for another great addition to our sewing arsenal, Catherine! Tailoring class 1985: Showed off my not-so-easy to make welt pocket to my Mom and her neighbor. My mom suggested I make a second pocket like the upscale store bought jackets 😮. Margaret saw my face and said, "Tell your mother, Then you wouldn't be able to afford it (the jacket)!" Still laughing after all these years.

I expect I will have to account for the weight of phone with at least a strip of velcro to seal the pocket - but I can't wait to get started. Subscribed and thank you !

    This looks great! I want to add welt pockets to a pair of pants that I thrifted. Would I need to take the pants apart to make it easier to add welt pockets? I don’t have the same fabric to use since the pants were thrifted. The pants are dark green/black plaid, I think I will add black welt pockets in a similar weight fabric. Not sure whether to add to the front or back of the pants.

  • @djstumpy7399
    @djstumpy7399 5 місяців тому

    Seems a very good way of doing welts. As a total newbie my question is , does this only work if the inside fabric is the same as the outside or can I still use a lining fabric.
    Asking because the mccalls pattern I have is got horrible square pockets on a nice trouser pattern so I want to modify it a bit.

    • @djstumpy7399
      @djstumpy7399 5 місяців тому

      Adding an additional after giving it a go and wow looks so cool.
      So I'm doing a cosplay based on a Red Dwarf character called Rimmer . Using your instructions and modifying a little, I've done the back pocket on my trousers, which was originally meant to be a square pocket. I've used iridescent fabric for the welt fold to concise with the stripe down the sides. My only downside is where I gave myself enough extra fabric for it to sew in the waist I didn't give enough seam allowance for sewing the top of the welt.
      But hey its a learning curve and now I know where I went wrong. Gr8 video that's given this chap confidence to try and learn.

    I'm trying to add a pocket to a fleece halloween costume. Should I use fleece for the pocket or some other cotton? Can I use interfacing on fleece?

    • @CatherineSews
      @CatherineSews  Рік тому

      I think fleece works great with this technique. And you can use interfacing, but be careful that your iron isn't so hot that it can melt your fleece. A pressing cloth or parchment paper can help with this.

  • @jojosewist8921
    @jojosewist8921 Рік тому

    Yeah it was fast too fast at the last even on 75% speed. It was difficult to see where you were stitching, camera too far away and your hands covered up important triangle area. I too will need to watch 100 more times and have all materials in front of me while I attempt to create welt pocket along with you. And many hours later maybe I can do it. Thanks for demo and sharing your tslent.
