You know you love them. SECRETS TO THE BEST INSEAM POCKETS. Sewing tutorial.

Күн бұрын

Pants, skirts and dresses commonly have inseam pockets for you to enjoy. I am a fan of the type that are anchored to a waist seam or inside a waistband because they are secure and create less bulk.
I am sharing how to sew these types of pockets using all the best practice techniques and you’ll see some variations related to the fabric and the size of the pockets. If your pattern does not have pockets… no worries, let’s make our own easy pocket pieces.
The Sybil Illusion skirt collection (Love Notions) has 7 skirt styles and these types of pockets! The pattern has been re-released to include sizes XS-5X and is $5 Friday the 9th and $10 on Saturday and Sunday.
You can get the Sybil Illusion Skirt collection here with my affiliate link: www.lovenotions.com/product/s...
See my blog post with all my 10 skirts and the videos I’ve made here: liftingpinsandneedles.com/202...
DISCLAIMER: I don't have a fabric sponsor. I produce sewing content independently from pattern brands and share my unique way of sewing with you, with my own investment of resources. I don’t necessarily follow instructions rigidly. My opinions are honest, especially around fit and sewing techniques.

How kind of you to go to the trouble to show such an in-depth tutorial for those of us who love pockets when you yourself don’t like them. Thank you Karina ❤️

This the best video I have seen regarding pockets. I have been sewing for many years but I still love when I can find videos to make my sewing easier and better! Thank You!

Please don’t feel discouraged by comments that may sound negative. I don’t think any discouragement was intended by the writer of the sound quality comments. You are a ray of sunshine in the sewing community and your videos are always very easy to understand. I love pockets and found your instruction very clear and helpful. I can now remember to attach main fabric to the back, lining fabric to the front. I used to struggle trying to figure out what went where. Love from Australia. 🇦🇺❤️

Hi. Greetings from France 💖💐. I am a fan of your prestigious sewing channel on KZfaq. Pockets have been a nightmare but after watching your video I thought I could attempt adding pockets to my pants which I am just sewing. But I have a question for you please. When you have the time only, could you make a video on how to add a zip to a side pocket? Thanks in advance. Thanks for sharing caring and making a 72 year old SMILE 🥰😊. A beary hug from my 70kilo water rescue Newfoundland and a big hug of gratitude from me. 👍👍👍💖💖💖💐💐💐🥰🥰🥰

Karina, thanks so much for making this video! I have never included pockets in any pants (or skirt/dress) because I have wide hips, so didn't want any added bulk. But, I've found I needed pants with pockets so I can carry treats for my dog on our walks!! My pockets turned out perfectly. I used a stretch woven, and the pockets are flat and smooth, and lovely!!! Again, thanks for all you share with us :) Have a great weekend!

Thank you! I have to have my pockets! ❤️ I really appreciate all the time that you spent putting all of this information together for us. You are so good at this. That was some beautiful fabric and I loved the purple that you chose for the lining. I agreed with you, I wouldn’t want to snip that close to the pocket anyway, there is a lot of pressure put there. 👍🏼 I really like how you stabilized the pocket area to reinforce that area.

I’m the same. I’ve decided that with skirts that have ease, they won’t add bulk. I’d never add them to pencil skirts or anything fitted to the hips.

Can I adjust the pockets to add them to a simple - two side seams skirt but with an elastic waist? My Mom is 89 years and no longer can deal with zippers. Thus, I am sewing simple skirts for her; no zipper, elastic (casing) waist , and of course- pockets

Another great video! Does it matter what your seam allowance is? Would 3/8” be enough?

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 жыл бұрын

You usually use the seam allowance the pattern has. My preference is 3/8” and if it’s larger, I’d trim to 3/8” for less bulk :)

I have to have pockets on everything due to my insulin pump and receiver for my sensor. Also, I have to slit a hole in the fabric of my pockets for my tubing to my insulin pump. It only needs to be 1/4 -3/8 inches. Any suggestions on how to place that opening and how to reinforce???

@noeleengayjess8416 3 жыл бұрын

I would leave an opening (where needed) when sewing around the pocket. Put some interfacing or tape to reinforce it. Hope this helps.

@barbarawarner4645 3 жыл бұрын

Did you try making a buttonhole for the tubing?

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 жыл бұрын

I’d interface the area of the pocket with Interfacing and do a buttonhole big enough for the tube.

I’m subscribed to your channel and watch all your videos. I’ve learned so much from you! If I could, I’d like to suggest that you somehow try to get rid of the echo when you record. It makes it harder to understand. Maybe laying down a small carpet? Or holding the mic closer to your mouth? Please don’t take offense…maybe there are others that have the same issue. Thank you for all the helpful videos! You make everything so much easier than they seem.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 жыл бұрын

It’s out of my control and that’s why I film outdoors 90% of the time. There’s no echo there. I have a huge rug, curtains… a professional microphone…everything. Sometimes I have to film inside for a thousand reasons. It’s easy to critique and I understand but please know that I do my very best. I film at home. I feel super discouraged with comments like this because I will never be able to have a professional soundproof studio in my home and I can’t film outside 100% of the time.

Try turning on the closed captioning. It's the little CC button towards the bottom right of the video. They are automatically generated so it's not always 100% correct, but it might help you understand better.

What if there is no side seams, but your need to remake and add pockets large, both sides due to medical equipment you have to carry on your person.

@LiftingPinsandNeedles 3 жыл бұрын

This tutorial is for side seams but if the garment does not have them, you could try large patch pockets instead.

@nataliestanchevski4628 3 жыл бұрын

You can also do vertical welt pockets if you don't have a side seam. It's a pretty advanced technique so definitely practice before you try it on a skirt for real.
