How To/How I :: French Seaming In Seam Pockets 

BTW. I'm glad you used material where it's obvious shown whats the right side and the wrong side. I've seen pictures and videos where the wrong side looks like the right side

This is amazing. Thank you SO MUCH! I fell in love with French seams but was tearing my hair out trying to put pockets in them. This is exactly what I needed. Seriously, thank you immensely for taking the time to share this knowledge with us.

Great Video. It helps to reduce the stitch length to 1.0 , 1 inch on either side of the corner. This strengthens the corner

I must've watched this over 40 times but today I finally made my first pair of clothing! And pj pants with pockets and French seams at that. Thank you for the explanation, I couldn't have done it without this video!

I cannot get my head around how to do this. Every time I need to, I come back to your video to follow carefully along. You explain it really very clearly. Thank you!

I've used this tutorial so many times, I always come back to it

This is my third skirt in a row following this tutorial. I've commented before but I have to thank you again!! This is such a great tutorial :)

This is the best tutorial ever.

I was breaking my brain trying to figure out how to do this. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it is so clear! I can confidently add pockets to the dress I'm making now :)

This is amazing! So clear! I don’t have a serger and am not a fan of zigzag stitching to finish seams, and I’ve fallen in love with French seams anyways to finish. I’m new to sewing though, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to finish pants with pockets with flat-felled french seams. After watching a plethora of tutorials, I think I’ve got it, thanks to you! Gonna try it tomorrow-fingers crossed!

Thank you for this video! The last time I attempted this I had followed a picture tutorial and had a difficult time trying to get my skirt done. Your video was so much more helpful!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. It makes far more sense seeing it done thn following written instructions.

I just made a dress with french seams throughout... except for the skirt because I have pockets...I overlocked...but from now on, I'll french seam them. I adjust my own patterns to include french seams....I don't like the look of serging or overlocking... but I had no idea how to make pockets. Thank you so much!

Thank you for make it so clear

Siân this is a brilliant tutorial. I've just achieved the best pocket I've ever made. Thankyou 🌻

Exactly the video I was looking for! Going to not be lazy and insert these in my current dress project ❤

Excellent demonstration and explanation! Thank you!

Thank you so much from sunny south Africa for such an amazing tutorial. It's the best I've watched and I followed the instructions exactly to yours and ended up with a beautiful result.

Thank you for such a great tutorial, I used it for a dress, and it came out great!

You're brilliant! I always get confused with pockets more so if it is a french seam. Your explanation was so clear and I could sew the pockets easily. Thank you thank you thank you!

This is absolutely superb, excellent instructions. Having just attempted to do this with a self drafted pair of shorts and having an argument with my fabric and seam ripper for 2 hours I absorbed every second of this, saying "Ahhhhh" !! I have subscribed. You are so clear with your directions I will be checking your channel for future advice! Thanks

Yay! Let me get my pockets in my dress. Thank you.

This was great. Please consider doing a demonstration on making a french seam on a godet set into a seam. Your's is the best explanation I've seen.

Very helpful. Thank you for posting this video 😊

This was so helpful! Thank you for the lesson, I now have a better understanding of the process

Really helped me. Thank you.

Thank you soo much for a perfect video with lovely detail and humble honesty.

THANK YOU!!! I've done LOTS of french seams but never knew how to do the pockets.

Thank you for making this video! Its very helpful to have a video to go off of!

Life. Saver!

Very helpful! Thanks so much for the detailed instructions!

Game changer. This tutorial saved me from a lot of grief!!

A superb video. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this tutorial! I tried it for the first time on skirt project and it works!!!! 🥰

Thank you so much for a lovely tutorial, very clear, will have to watch again to get everything to sink in, love your vlogs, keep them coming x

Well done. Thank you.

Wow, this was SO incredibly helpful. I am making a skirt and just couldn't picture how to do this, and the video was so clear and concise. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! It helped tremendously!!!

Ahh this is wonderful! I'm new to sewing (well, not sewing in general, but sewing clothes) and I want to French seam the skirt I'm making AND add pockets, I didn't know I could have both till I saw this video. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this! I've lost count of how many tutorials I have watched for this that I could not understand. Yours makes sense to me. Now I can go finish my dress!

Very, very helpful. Thank you very much 🤗

This is such an AMAZING video. The details of each step are SUPERB. Thank you for this video.

I was getting so confused, thank you so much!! Such clear instructions super helpful thanks 😃

Wow ! u r soooo clever at sewing 😍 Tks for showing these little tricky parts which usually we less clever sewists tend to leave out or r afraid to attempt. Thank you 🙏

These were such clear instructions, mine worked out beautifully, thank you so much! 😊

Thank you, a great clear and concise video.

Thank you for this! Super helpful.

Thank you bunches!!

Loving all the tips. Thank you so much. I hope you are having a great time on your holiday. Hope we get to see some photos of your trip.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

I wish I could like a video more than once. I have been using side pockets since I started sewing. I have only learned in the past year about French seams and have had to watch this video every time I make a new dress. Thank you for all the help Kitten.❤

Wonderful video, and lovely clear instructions! Thank you🌸

Loved this tutorial. I am right at this point in a sundress I am making. I will try this method

This was incredibly helpful for me! Photo tutorials just weren't cutting it. Thank you so much!

I add pockets to everything I sew and return to this video time after time to follow the steps to make sure I do it well. Thank you so much for such an excellent tutorial.

So helpful thanks x

Wonderful thank you. I haven't got a overlocker and this saves me buying me one and I think it looks better in my opinion

🧵 I’ve just found this vlog as I needed to French seam some pockets!

Thank you for taking the time to reply Siân. Yes it’s very helpful especially the order in which to do it. Oh how I love the internet!

Very easy to follow tutorial! I love it!

Thank you for the help the video. Your fabric choices are gorgeous!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH for these excellent instructions! I was hung up on the clipping part (before the final press) and guessed that That was not the thing to do. I like the short video too. I am on a limited data plan and the short videos with excellent instructions, like yours, make life easier. Beautiful fabric, by the way!

Am having to watch this more than once, lovely and clear video, pointer helps too, and thank goodness no distracting muzac., Looking forward to getting my pocket into an existing french seamed dress by the end of today, and now see I have to unpick more of the side seams than I already have. Would never have understood all this without your video, thanks very much. The only bit I'm really confused about, is why the extra inch of sewing each end, after I thought you'd finished? Update a few hours later, have now finished one pocket which has turned out pretty successful, and decided to leave the dress with just one pocket as found it harder putting it into a dress that already exists, and I think my success was partly luck, so am not wanting to risk spoiling the other side!

Such a good tutorial! Could never get my head around this before! 👌🏼

By far the best video on how to do this. I was struggling so much watching two other videos, and actually gave up because I couldn't get the corners looking nice, but then I found this one and got it perfect! Just make sure the side seam edge of your pocket bag has enough seam allowance, mine was a self-drafted pocket bag that came partially from another pattern, and the curve of the pocket piece needed to be farther from the side seam edge. It made it look messier and was harder to sew.

This was sooo helpful, much easier than trying to figure it out from photos. It all worked perfectly, thank you :)

I shall be doing this with the pattern you gave me!! The utter JOY of someone else doing the boring bit 😊

I've refered to this several times! Such a great video tutorial!

Wonderful tutorial, thank you! I think I finally understand how to do this!

I love this tutorial. So helpful every time I do French seamed pockets!

Lovely! Instructions are so clear. Thanks so much!

Wow this is so beautiful! Thank you for such a detailed and helpful tutorial, I can't wait to try this out!!

Brilliant! I'll be coming back to these tutorials for sure. Thank you so much 😁👍 x

WOW! This is exactly what I needed to see. I have some skirts I was making for a friend and thought about adding pockets but could not visualize how to do this while keeping the french seems. Oh THANK YOU for doing this! Pockets here I come!

Excellent video! Really excellent!

Excellent Video. It made this difficult technique so clear. Thank You!

Thank you so much for making this tutorial!!! It was so easy to follow and is now my new favourite way to add pockets!

Brilliant thanks Sian x

Can't wait to try this!

thank you, so beautifully explained🌞

You’re amazing. Great tutorial!

Love your explanation of how to do this step and have already successfully applied it. I’m sure I’ll come back to it’s in the future.

Thank you! I've been thinking about how to do this all day. Silly me for thinking instead of just googling first.

super clear and helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much so detailed and clear

This really helped me out. Thank you!

Thank you! Been trying to figure out how to insert a French seam pocket into an already French seamed dress, my brain was hurting, lol. This video has really helped to understand the technique! X

Hi Sian! Hope you're keeping well 😃. I just sewed some French seam pockets using this tutorial, and they are fabulous (even if I say so myself 😆). Thank you very much for doing it, you're a genius (but we all know that!!). Lynne 🤩😍

Brilliant video thank you x

Thank you! I followed this step by step on my project, screen beside the sewing machine. It looks fantastic.

Beautifully sewn pocket and a great tutorial Sian, thanks very much 😻

I didn't know if this was possible. I am so happy it is. Your's looks absolutely beautiful!

Lovely fabric!

Nice, short, and straight to the point. I was working on a muslin mockup and put my pockets on wrong. This video was super helpful so that I don't make the same mistake with my nice fabric.

Really wonderful tutorial. Thank you!

I can’t thank you enough for this great video! I was losing my mind trying to figure this out on my own. Your instruction and images are very clear and it’s also nice that you have such a pleasant voice 😃 thank you again

Here again for my 5th skirt. I think I love you 😂

Excellent!!! Thank you!!

Wonderful! Thank you.

Thank you so much for making this video!!!
