Oh my goodness, you made this look "sew" easy! I am trying to re-make a bag for a lady and it has a zipper pocket on it and I had no clue how to do that but watching your video gives me confidence! Thank you SEW much!
Thank you so much!!!! I'm trying to follow a tutorial and was so lost!!! Thank you for this wonderful example! If the views for this go way, way up over the next few days- it's just me trying to make my husband's Christmas present! 😂
It helps of you use fabric samples that have a “right & wrong” side to them, so if you want the pretty patterned side to show when you open the zipper. Is it right sides together? Or right side of main fabric & wrong side of pocket fabric? Thanks for the nice video!
Hi, there are many different ways to sew a pocket. A welt pocket is usually on the inside of the garment and has the flaps that I show on this video. It is different than a side pocket you just add at the seam.
Welt pocket is a term that covers several design features. A hidden pocket bag is a big part of it. It can have a flap or no flap, zipper or button, or no closure. I hope that helps.
@ it kind of does lol there are so many terms and variations of pockets and different methods and techniques to construct them I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around them 😅
Several issues which need help on this video: for instance-- using a blue ink pen which could stain the white pants fabric. The rectangle on pattern is the stitching line, not the cutting line; stitch on long sides of rectngle thru pant and pocketing, then cut in middle of rectangle leaving triangle at each end. Next stitch the zipper pieces in same stitching line as pocketing. Turn to inside & stitch down Triangle with very short machine sts. (Also best to reinforce corners of rectangle with fusible interfacing, do that before stitching). To shorten zip, remove the extra teeth prior to cutting off the excess-- then make a thick bar tack by hand and apply permanent glue to create an upper bump/stop (recreate the top stop of zipper). And lots more. Too many details are missing in video for people to be able to get best results and why spend all the $ on materials if it will look messy? Maybe slow down, do more precise work, achieve better results.
The zip looked great! Sometimes things are messy, it’s the way you learn. Not that this even looked at all messy anyway from my eyes, it looked fab! I have only a few times sewn a zip and that was nearly 25 years ago. Now I feel confident at having a try at a pocket on a pair of shorts. Thank you so much for all your tutorials, they are SO appreciated! Xx

Thanks for this video, I dont know the tape you use, hope to find it here in The Netherlands.....I think it comes in very handy!
Thank you, I have so far avoided putting in zips, but after watching you, I feel I will be able to do it.
what kind of tape is it, fusable? what name please...
What kind of tape was that? I love that it sticks AND you can iron it!!
Once again another brilliant video tutorial, thanks

You make things look so easy
Thank you!! Nice to have a zippered pocket to make sure nothing falls out!
love the fabric choice!
I love the pants they look so comfortable! What pattern are they?
Would you attach the pocket the same way in a dress or skirt?
where did you get your clear ruler? LOVE IT!
Going to have to try that! Thanks
Wow new skills for me 😊🙌🏻❤️
This is awesome! Can't wait to try it!!!
Thank you for another great tutorial😃
Thanks Diana. I always have trouble putting in a zipper.

Thanks for this video. I'm just about to sew the zipper on.
I've never put a zipper on welt pockets, but I'm excited to try it!
Great demo!

Merci!!!!
I wish you could teach me all the sewing technique .You make it seem so much more understandable
Not sure if this is classed as a welt pocket. It just seem like a normal way of sewing a pocket. Maybe I missed something.

Where is the welt? Maybe I’m confused but I thought a welt is a folded piece of fabric that hides the zipper?

Thanks for all the extra tips ♥️
Wait. What? A sewing tutorial with actual verbal directions that make learning possible? Subscribe like like yay
Not a true welt but helpful in general.
This is a good technique, but sloppy
