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!
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.
Ethel, that is so great to hear! Once you do these pockets a few times you will get this technique down and you will have awesome side seam pockets! :)
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.
omg this is so helpful. I love how you took the extra steps in making the 1/2 inch marks, and the under stitching to make the pockets look so much more professional and polished. Thank you for sharing!
thx so much, I'm gonna be taking a practical exam tmrw and the day after and I was confused on how to make the side pockets for a skirt, luckily this is a great help to refer to before my exams, wish me luck :)
This video came at the right time when I just finished sewing a PJ pant and thought of adding pocket next time. I always enjoy your helpful tutorials. I learned a lot from your channels. Please keep it coming. Please consider adding tutorial for V neck top or T shirt and how to draft a PJ pant from body measurements. Thank you.
Ooooh thank you! I'm about to make some pj pants for my daughter and I and I didn't even think about pockets, but I always hate when I don't have them. You're amazing
This is such a good tutorial! I keep coming back and rewatch it every time I sew these types of pockets :) Thanks a lot for making such clear instructions, Alisa!
Thank you, Karin! It makes my heart knowing that it helps... PS.- I go back to my videos as well, he he, If I haven't done something in a loooooong loooooong time - it helps to remember.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity I love that your own videos help you memorize more difficult steps as well. It's like back in school: nothing more effective for learning than to explain it to someone else 😄
Wow. I just wanted to try this, so I took an old pair of sweats, and some leftover woven fabric, and followed the directions. Came out perfect! I love ALL your videos. They are clear and easy to follow. Thanks!
I love pockets I even use them instead of side zippers on pants and skirt. I add to the top so it is sewn into the waist band or waist of a dress. This stabilize the pocket and stay in place. Thank you for a great video Canada
I’m starting watching a lot of your videos. I’m so glad I found your channel!!! BTW your fabric is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Do you have a resource for it?
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!
I always loved how easy some ppl make it look to see pants and I was really scared, but I tried it and made a lot, and I don't have pockets in them so I'll have to try again because I'm scared with pockets now
Thank you for this!! For years, I've been intimidated sewing pockets on my skirts that's why either I won't sew a skirt or just sew it without pockets.
I love the model of your sewing Mc,,,, I'm a beginner and ND I don't know where to find that kind of sewing Mc,,,, if you allowed, may I know the exact model of yours. Thank you
Alisa,, are you going to make a pattern for the Culottes ( Comeback ) as shown on other tutorials? I’d rather watch yours, as you make everything look so easy. I’ve sewn so many of your little tops and 2 pairs of pants. Thank you for all you do for us. ❤️🇨🇦
Christina, hi! Thank you for a suggestion. I don't personally wear culottes, so probably not, but palazzo pants (basically long culottes) are on my list to add to my wardrobe this summer.
Hi Lyna, since I am not pregnant at the moment - I have no need for such garments, therefore this will have to wait till I have the need or occasion for it.
Hmmm... Not sure, I know that they (TH-cam) have not rolled out Memberships on all devices. But I also have a link for the Memberships in the description underneath the video - that should do the trick :)
Oh, and I have a Member who watches on iPad and she can't access some of the functions after joining, she still gets to see everything as she joined the FB group and I notify everyone there if the news, but still - we learned the hard way...
‼️‼️‼️PLEASE! I appreciate this video so much but I don’t understand… what you said at 4:18… I don’t understand. You are showing the pocket pieces are sewed SHUT. 😭😭 Can you please help? Why is the pocket opening sewn shut?
Wonderful tutorial as usual except for the HEY!! every couple of seconds in the music. It is an attention grabber from you speaking and a huge distraction.
Here's a circle skirt where you can add pockets as well! - th-cam.com/video/AdqrXFg1cJ0/w-d-xo.html
I'm going to make sure I save this because every time I sew in these pockets I have to look it up.

You are my go-to person for a lot of sewing techniques. I'm probably personally responsible for 700 of your total views....
Useful as always ❤
Hi, do you have a template for the pockets? I love your tu5orial on how to put in the pockets in a skirt ❤

Nice!!! ThankYou ❤
Hi! Thanks for another great tutorial! I love the fabric. Can you please share where you purchased it? Thank you!
Got it at Joann's, here in USA int he remnant section. It is a lovely rayon.
Do you use an ironing board or a matt just curious. And if you use a mat do you have any pressing tips?
Thank you for this!! For years, I've been intimidated sewing pockets on my skirts that's why either I won't sew a skirt or just sew it without pockets.
I love the model of your sewing Mc,,,, I'm a beginner and ND I don't know where to find that kind of sewing Mc,,,, if you allowed, may I know the exact model of yours. Thank you
Cool Thxs Alisa ✂️🧵
My pleasure, Arlene! Hope this help in creating beautiful pockets!

Christina, hi! Thank you for a suggestion. I don't personally wear culottes, so probably not, but palazzo pants (basically long culottes) are on my list to add to my wardrobe this summer.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thank you Alisa, I love palazzo pants too. Can hardly wait. 👏🏻👏🏻🙀🙀❤️
Could you please do a video on sewing your own maternity dresses and/or skirts?
Hi Lyna, since I am not pregnant at the moment - I have no need for such garments, therefore this will have to wait till I have the need or occasion for it.
Can you please do a video to show how to thread, adjust stitch length, different stitches of your serger? Thanks.
Amy, please open your serger manual for this as every serger is different. If you don't have your manual you can find one online.
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)
Hi what is the word you keep saying for the seams. Sounds like serg? Thank you
Do you have online classes for sewing?
Excuse me while I take apart the side seams on my entire wardrobe
easy pockets... But my skirt doesn't have any side seams.
Suggestions for adding a hidden pocket??
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 :)
Thank you. I am a subscriber but do it see the join button you speak of. I usually watch on an IPad, if that makes a difference.
Hmmm... Not sure, I know that they (TH-cam) have not rolled out Memberships on all devices. But I also have a link for the Memberships in the description underneath the video - that should do the trick :)
Oh, and I have a Member who watches on iPad and she can't access some of the functions after joining, she still gets to see everything as she joined the FB group and I notify everyone there if the news, but still - we learned the hard way...
I have that same fabric :0
‼️‼️‼️PLEASE!
I appreciate this video so much but I don’t understand… what you said at 4:18… I don’t understand. You are showing the pocket pieces are sewed SHUT. 😭😭 Can you please help? Why is the pocket opening sewn shut?
You cloud at pockets to dresses you need to show me how to that by comeing here and doing it on one of my dresses
super directions but music is super annoying.
Wonderful tutorial as usual except for the HEY!! every couple of seconds in the music. It is an attention grabber from you speaking and a huge distraction.
Thanks for letting me know
