Here's a circle skirt where you can add pockets as well! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8qhpbt3zJfHemQ.html

I'm going to make sure I save this because every time I sew in these pockets I have to look it up.

@paulinefowler6686 3 жыл бұрын

After using your techniques in your videos, people think I'm so smart at making patterns out of my own clothes. Thank you for helping me feel more confident sewing. Just got back into it; got to be patient with myself.

These are the best and clearest pocket instructions I've ever seen. I've tried a few garments with side pockets and ended up taking them out because they don't fall right, or make the skirt poke out weirdly. Definitely giving this a go as I love pockets!

@ThoughtfulCreativity 3 жыл бұрын

Sarah, I am super glad to hear this! I hope that now the pockets will turn out for you every time :) One quick thing - because our cellphones nowadays are so heavy, I rarely put pockets in my skirts that are a) made from lightweight material or b) have elastic waist. The weight of the cellphone just yanks the whole structure down.

Hello, hello :) I think I got it at Joann's and it was quite a few years back...so they probably don't have it anymore, but try FabricMartFabrics. I get a lot of fabrics from them and they have a nice selection or viscose, which will give you that drape and usually comes in a variety of beautiful prints!

Super easy :) make a single welt pocket and skip the welt (or do the welt, or add a zipper in there) or you can make a side seam in your skirt :)

Excellent. My pockets seem to fall to the back instead on the front. How would you stop that from happening?

secure the pocket to the front of the garment with a few invisible stitches by hand at the opening of the pocket (on the inside)
