I forgot, to tell you to sew around the sides and bottom of the "bag" part, to the depthwanted for the pocket.

Then serge, or overcast or bind with a Hong Kong finish.......................

Thanks Tatted Lady. I knew this would be helpful. I've done hundreds of these welt pockets and your way is easier than my way. :ty :ty :ty Can't wait to try it.

[Lizzie Marie]

I hate making the vest for just this reason.....looks easier than I have done....:ty :ty :ty

[Drusilla]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
I have had problems visualizing how to do welt pockets, but your explanation was terrific. Now I can make watch pockets on my dresses! Yipppiee!

[Allie Mo]

Dearest Tatted Lady,

:ty for taking the time to post this.

Regards,

Allie Mo

[Tatted Lady]

Thanks everyone!!!:kiss

Now I want to see some of your practice samples. And please practice first on some scrap fabric.

I used different colors for each part to show the construction better.
But if you use the fashion fabric for everything, then you can omit the part where I sewed the "Gold" color onto the white lining material.
Just make sure to use iron on interfacing on the back side of each piece before making the "window".

I get a interfacing by the bolt for about $12, when JoAnn's has it on sale for 4 yds for $.99.
I save all the scraps when making other garments. These are the perfect size for welts. Boy am I cheap or what!!!!

I took pics of making double welts too. Will get them together soon.

Also finished putting in a welt pocket on a size 48 stiff canvas SASS pants.

What a job!!!!!!

Not the welt,,,, But manuvering those pants to where I wanted and needed them in and around the machine.

Took pics of it too. Will post on another thread titled, " Roger's SASS Pants."

If anything isn't clear or have any suggestions to make it even easier.
Please post, because we all like easier.

Dru, we want to see pics of those watch pockets.

[Manon Antoinette]

Cool :ty just what I was looking for to make into my dresses for the daydress I want to have a little pocket for a pocketwatch for!

[Kitty Phann]

Thanks TL! You made it look easier. Now I think I will try and make a vest for hubby.

[Drusilla]

Ok TL, I will do my pockets as soon as I finish this corset here in a day or two. I have always wanted more pockets, they are very handy and I need them for my little ladies watches cause I direct all day in Tombstone and must know the time. The show must go on!:sewing

[Gwen In LA]

:ty Very grateful for the step by step pix and use of contrasting colors!

Will be practicing this week.

Using the fancy stitching is an INSPIRED, couture touch.

Gwen in l.a.

[Clancy]

Thankyou Tatt, that was great, i always err at making something with them in, for fear of ruining the fabric. Your instructions are great.:tban

[Tatted Lady]

Sorry I forgot a step..Should be after Post #25.

[Tatted Lady]

After you get comfortable with the Welt.

Then...... try sewing little "side" pockets on the lining, below the "gold" fabric.
Just top stitch "on"....... like a regular shirt pocket.

These can be the size of a credit card, lipstick, or whatever. And sewn down the middle to make two side by side!

They can be the same width and depth of the welt pocket and can be sewn on when you sew the "bag" together. Just hem the top edge and place between the two "bag" layers and sew around as usual.

You can have one on each side too!!!

You can take the pocket "bag" apart of a "store bought garment and sew on "inner pockets" and sew the bag back together.

Hey,,,,,I want to see some sample pics ya'll have done!!!!!:tap

[Lazy K]

I fianally decided to give your welt pocket instructions a try. I ended up doing them the same old way I always do because the vest I am working on has stripes, I wanted to match the stripes on the welt to the stripes on the vest and the pockets on on a slant. I gave myself a headache trying to figure out how to do this using your method. But I know it can be done! Any tips and tricks for these problems?:help

[Tatted Lady]

LK,
Will try on some striped fabric and on the slant and see what I can come up with.

[Lazy K]

Thanks TL I know there has to be a "formula". My eyes glaze over just thinking about it.

[Cinnamon Teal]

I'm bringing this forward again so I can try Tatted Lady's method and possibly post the directions I was given in a class.... if I can find them again.

[Lazy K]

THANK YOU,CT! I looked for this thread last week and couldn't find it. I thought it had been deleted.:ty :ty :ty

[Ida Hands]

I need to see this again(and again and again). I am having a time with welt pockets. Hope no one minds.
