Absolute perfect timing for this tutorial. Although I was a bit confused by the lack of comforting music in this tutorial, you made it very simple, comprehensive and your technical paper-dummy was extremely helpful for understanding the inner construction. Will the pocket bag seams be left raw or are they going to be finished in some way? Slap some lining on this and call it done?
Inside a waistcoat the lining will hide everything and there is no need to finished the bags edges. In an unlined jacket e.g. you need to finish the edges of course.
That was a far better tutorial and explaination than I have ever seen in womenswear. The paper model in particular was really helpful. Thank you for putting this together!
Just sewing up a double-breasted and lapelled waistcoat and got to the part where i need to add a watch-pocket. This video is absolutely superb instruction. Thanks Vintagebursche!
Thank you for showing us and explaining to us how it works so that we can understand. I've watched other videos about welt pockets, but they didn't explain it like you did. Thank you.
When I made my first and second walking skirt I really wasn't aware of the existence of welt pockets, and since my side-seams didn't match the position of my later pockets, I just weirdly cut in the fabric and sewed around it. Now its a nightmare because the skirt tends to rip on these exact points. I somehow came to the knowledge of the welt-pocket and tried a few samples. It so much more neat and stable! But nowhere have I actually seen such a clear and simple explanation of the process then in your video. Having the construction templates moved and folded before your eyes instead of flat on a paper helps a lot! It will definitely be me go-to reference for future projects! Also vielen Dank für dieses aufschlussreiche Video und Grüße aus Hamburg :)
Excellent tutorial! I really like the look of sewing the outer welt seam from the inside, but dislike the fiddling. More practice is called for! And more sewing videos on menswear content ;)
This video is superb. Thank you for the hard work and the excellent close-ups and detailed diagrams. I'm keeping this tutorial because I really want to challenge myself to make one.
Thank you so much for your tutorials, thanks to you, i have to sew 5 more flat caps for all the people who wanted to steal mine... If i ever get to the suit i wamt to make, i'll glady come back to this video!
Excellent tutorial, thank you! This will come in handy when I do pocket welts on my Victorian waistcoat! Having watched your video I think that welted pockets just look intimidating but aren't really that hard to make! You only need to work precisely, but the general construction is rather simple!
What a wonderful video! Indeed, we need more men's period sewing tutorials here! Pants are my current bane, and some vintage sewing patterns are truly condensed in a way that makes it seem rather impossible. Wonderful job!
wow thank you so much for these detailed explanations with the diagrams and what to look out for. also indeed there are way too few tutorials for sewing victorian style menswear; I'm working on a waistcoat atm thats based on the cutters practical guide and no where is there any mention of how to make the pockets or what dimensions they might have, so your instructions are incredibly useful. well done!
I am a total "newbie" with sewing, but am tempted to try a waist coat as this seems like an excellent instruction video ! One other thing, I think you have this on your machine ~ (My machine is an older Singer, made for USA) but, I think I can see the same on your machine. On the back of the column that holds the presser foot there is a cut in the metal - that is to cut your thread after sewing. It's a bit awkward at first, but once you get used to it, quite handy ! (Versus looking for scissors every time!). You hold the 2 threads in both hands and slide them into the cut & it cuts them quickly...... Hope that made sense ?! ;)
Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos! You were very detailed and your manner of explaining feels less complicated than when my tailoring teacher does it. I mean, she does extraordinary work but explaining is not her forte haha. For patterns, my teacher, told us to baste the finished edge with the main piece, not from the top but by passing inside the pleated portion of the welt (or seam allowance if it's not a pocket) I'm not sure it's clear, translating from french is a nightmare 😂
This is exactly what I need! I'm working up to a waistcoat with welted pockets- I've only done patch pockets so far. I'm planning on binding the edges, so rather than pattern matching the shell fabric I'm going to use a contrasting welt that matches the binding. Btw, that black watch tartan shirt is dope, where is it from?
Thank you. I'll be returning to this video allot in my future; when I finally get to the level of working on a Keystone vest for myself. Impeccably produced and filmed. This is top level content - are you doing all of your own camera work or do you have a small team to bounce ideas and work with. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Love your sewing content. I'm thinking of making a waistcoat for my husband and this is perfect info. For the last seams you sewed on the welt, how far in were they? Also, it seems you don't backstitch at the beginning and end of your sewing, do you pull threads through and tie off for the start and finish?
Hey Niklas, schaue erst seit kurzem deine Videos, die echt genial sind. Wenn du das liest würde ich mir wünschen, das du mal eine Collage an Klamotten von Assassin's creed syndicate, was im alten England gespielt hat, erstellst.. Verrucht, dreckig und schick.. würde mich richtig freuen. Lg
I picked up your 1920's menswear pdf to make some outfits for my son, but I can't find any information on seam allowance. Does the patterns include a seam allowance or not? Thanks!
They do not include seam allowance. At the beginning of each manual you have a pattern overview with numbers indicating the recommended seam allowance for each edge in centimeters.
I'm sitting here staring BAFFLED at this Reconstructing History pattern. The steps aren't making any sense, my brain is leaking out of my ears. I'm going to undo all of the basting this pattern told me to do, and I'm gonna follow this tutorial now, because you made it much more effortless and understandable than this pattern 's instructions.
OK, I'm curious...is your sewing machine a "lefty" or is your video reversed? I've never seen a machine like that, before, if the video isn't reversed.
Absolute perfect timing for this tutorial.

Endlich ein Tutorial von Herr mit Schnauzer für Nähanfänger mit Schnauzer, Danke für die fabelhaften und hilfreichen Videos!
That was a far better tutorial and explaination than I have ever seen in womenswear. The paper model in particular was really helpful. Thank you for putting this together!
I had to pause the video and laugh for a minute solid at your oops! Thank you for this wonderful, thorough tutorial!
Just sewing up a double-breasted and lapelled waistcoat and got to the part where i need to add a watch-pocket.
This video is absolutely superb instruction. Thanks Vintagebursche!
Best notification in this Tuesday...
Thank you for showing us and explaining to us how it works so that we can understand.
I've watched other videos about welt pockets, but they didn't explain it like you did. Thank you.
Thank you for this stellar tutorial, now I´m really running out of excuses to delay my waistcoat project
This was very interesting and is one of the better tutorials on making a self pocket. Thank you.

The most thorough explanation I've seen, loved the paper mock up as a visual tool!
Saubere Arbeit, Vintagebursche.
Thank you - I love how detailed you go with this. Also, a waistcoat is on list of projects I want to start so this is perfect timing!
Thank you so much for your tutorials, thanks to you, i have to sew 5 more flat caps for all the people who wanted to steal mine...

Absolutely perfect and stunning ❤thank you very much for tutorial 🎉

Such a clear, instructive video! I'm so glad I discovered your channel because there definitely isn't enough menswear sewing on TH-cam.
Very precise. A joy to watch🌺

Brilliant stuff. Thank you for this!!
Very useful video, thank you!

Thank you. This was very useful.
I support men's sewing content!
Excellent tutorial, thanks! Also...every milimeter counts = sewing in a nutshell 😁

thanks for the video, I'm making a regency vest and could not wrap my head around the instructions for the pockets

I'm planning on binding the edges, so rather than pattern matching the shell fabric I'm going to use a contrasting welt that matches the binding. Btw, that black watch tartan shirt is dope, where is it from?
I really don't know. I guess I thrifted it years ago!? The elbows need patching up...
@@Vintagebursche I thought it was a banyan!

Eine Papierschablone 🎉. Danke für den Tipp. Ich nähe zwar keine Weste, aber eine Winterjacke mit Tartan-Muster. 😅
Bravo
Waistcoat you said?, I'm interested! Extremely
I want to learn the was it coat specifically using materials from tweed or a wool consignment shop sports coat
Ich glaube, ich muss jetzt doch irgendwann mal nähen lernen.
What's the long black coat you're wearing in the last intro screen called? It looks amazing with the grey suit and brown shoes.
On your website you sell pattern to make a flat cap. My head size is 54cm. Do you sell the pattern in my size ?
Almost, the cap sizes start with 55cm. But I'm sure you will be able to make them a centimeter smaller on your own.
Love your sewing content. I'm thinking of making a waistcoat for my husband and this is perfect info. For the last seams you sewed on the welt, how far in were they? Also, it seems you don't backstitch at the beginning and end of your sewing, do you pull threads through and tie off for the start and finish?
I think the last seams were ~5mm in and I did pull the threads on those last seams because they are visible from the outside.
@@Vintagebursche Thanks!

I too would like to see this
So precise; like surgery.

The video is mirrored horizontally. :D
I was about to ask the same thing. I am left-handed, and was really confused as I had never seen or heard of a left-handed machine.
