How to sew a breast pocket onto a shirt - Beginner level sewing tutorial 

My god, a sewing video with a man! I get the feeling I'm one of the few men that actually sew! Thanks for the video!

I love your videos. Knowing how to sew is one thing; being able to instruct/educate is another. You’ve mastered both. I prefer your pleasant, to the point, visual style, to most. Thank you ❤️

So grateful for the gentle pace of your instructions, allowing me to wrap my brain around what you’re doing so I understand the concept instead of having to keep rewinding and just follow each step a million times. Thank you!

You, sir, are what the English would call legend 😄

You inspire me to buy a machine and start sawing again after 20yrs. Blessings

crazy way to do pockets

Thank you! Made my first pocket! Beautiful instructions!

Your videos are very easy to follow and understand. Thank you for making them.

Please make more videos on pants making. You are the ONLY one making sewing videos that I can watch. Short concise information, and NO stupid music.

Pleasure to see a master crafstman at work, thank you.

I’m so happy I found you!! I’m excited to start this sewing journey ♥️

You are simply amazing. It is 1am here in London - quarantine with my sewing machine and your videos, thank you big man!

Thank you for sharing! This was very easy to follow.

This is so unbelievably helpful. I'm making my first shirt and all of these tutorials are so nice and clear!

this is a great tutorial. thank you. your teaching style is awesome....plus ...I love that pocket.

Excellent instruction! I'm so glad I checked out your tutorial before I tried to figure it out on my own. Love the close up shots and how slowly you do each step. Thanks a bunch!

Another F'ing great video! You're a very good teacher. Thanks for doing these videos.

Your sewing skills and teaching method is excellent! I am now confident that I can sew pockets and am going to put my new knowledge to good use over the Christmas weekend. Thank you!

Thank you! Cleear, precise,a nd I have pockets on my jacket now.!

Amazing tutorial. Easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!❤

Nicely done. thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Pat

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

Excellent video TOC my shirt came out as good as yours! Love your teaching style! Thank You!

Thank you so much! This is so helpful and I love that fabric!!

You do the best tutorials! They are perfect for my sewing level. I'd love to see more that go from pattern to final creation!!

Very nice tutorial, thanks man

This was so helpful, thank you.

I didn't even watch this before I liked it. I mainly picked up sewing to make a fursuit, but watching your videos makes me want to try other things. I even started covering my sewing machine with stickers, lol.

This is the best damn pocket I ever made ! Your a genesis. 💯The pocket in my pattern instruction uses a facing and a bulky 5/8 seam and I could never get the pocket to have nice sharp edges . Thanks 😊

My plan is to add pockets similar to this to my friends tee shirts that already have pockets. The present pockets are not deep enough to carry his cordless phone. He uses a walker by shuffling for short distances, approximately 12 feet or less. For longer distances he requires a wheelchair. I admire his determination & wish to help make his life a tad easier. Thanks for your well thought out instructions. ☮️💞🙏🏼

love this! you inspired me to get a Sewing Machine so i can make Hammocks for my Pet Rats, but i want to try designing a shirt/hoodie for myself after seeing this! Keep up the good work, love the videos!

You're great brochacho!!! Thanks for the inspiration to start another hobby!!!

Mind Blown 🤯 - Amazing Tutorial!!! Thank you!!!!

Great. I'm patiently waiting for your shirt making video. I bought the exact same pattern.

Another great instructional video, both useful and very interesting. Thank you again for helping me to improve my sewing! 🐻😁

I only watched this because I needed to sew a pocket back onto a shirt but now I want to try and make my own!!

Thank you so much, this is a great video for a beginner like me.

Well I was just thinking of making a buttoned shirt then this video popped up, even though I don't know how to make one, I'll save this for future use. Thumbs up

I remember trying to make a pocket tee years ago and gave up. You're video was super helpful beginning to end and helped me pick up where I left off. THANK YOU.

Awesome tutorial my friend! I have this fabric in a green color but now I need this in the purple.

so helpful! thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you so much !

just made 1 im so happy , thank you so much. You are the best !

My Mother would give you an A!! She was an extremely picky seamstress. She taught me that exact same technique. The only thing she added was to use a tailor’s clapper to set the edges nice and sharp. Mom would also be very pleased with your hidden pocket placement💕. That’s same way she did hers.

the slam. Thank you again Tock, your just so great at explaining why you are doing what you are doing. 🤗

Thank you!

Thank youuuuuu!!! This is soooooooo helpful!!!

Great video, I just made a bunch of bib style aprons and I wish I would have watched this video first. The ones I put on looked ok but the ones in the video looked so much better. Will make pockets like these on the next batch. Thanks

Awesome thanks

Bravo best video for a project .

Omg, I LOVE you! I totally subscribed! Can you teach me everything in life?!

very helpful, thx & love the fabric though

this is a fantastic sewing video but would love the dimensions of the pattern piece!! okay editing this just to say you really did SLAY this video-- just used it to make a pocket (found dimensions on google) literally so easy and simple to follow and my pocket looks perfect!!!!!!

"Now we have to do a top stitch across where that is there..." 😂 Very helpful video, thank you🙏

This video is great bro thank you

Fantastic!Ty!

thank you fine sir for the tutorial

I got my old ish... sewing machine out to sew my feathered pillows from 4 flat pillows to 2. It worked out ok from watching u to help me but idk something is funky going on w/ my machine. I almost wanna sell it & buy a new one. Threading the bobbin is a bitc$! Anyways, nice video thank u for sharing yr talent!

Like watching you sew. 👍

Hello from your neighbor in Dallas! I love your tutorials and would love to take some sewing classes if you teach any or ever decide to. It is so hard for me to figure out a lot of patterns. The basic stuff is easy but they always seem to throw a wrench into the sewing machine and I get frustrated and quit that project and start something else. I believe that I am going to finish this M6044 shirt though. Great instructions easy to understand and very informative.

ILY you hairy handsome man!!!

Just found this Awesome channel. Your new subscriber.

Can you tell me what the pattern pocket measurements are?

This is an awesome tutorial!! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m new to sewing and I found it very easy to understand. That fabric is also BOMB! Do you happen to have the measurements of this pocket? I found a free one online, but I’m not sure I like it as much and it’s a little shorter than I want it, and slightly wide.

Hi, many, many thanks for the tutorials which I have found invaluable in getting started. One small suggestion. When making a sew on pocket I’ve found it gives a better finish by not cutting all the way down before inverting the top of the pocket. The inside piece should be cut all the way, but what becomes the outside piece does not need to be cut at all, or only halfway.

always excellent videos..... tutorial request: men's zippered front fly. I'm really struggling with this technique.

i use this video to sew pockets onto my work shirts

This is such a good tutorial!! I think my only question is how to position the shirt while using the sewing machine so you don’t accidentally sew it shut?

Who else had to briefly pause the video and see if they could find this fabric online… me I did… thank you for this tutorial

My haphazard pinning has f'd me so many times, now I will remember to do it methodically.

Ty for a great tutorial! I have a question: do I always have to sew from the front, like u did with the pocket? Or I can sew the way that the top thread would be on the wrong side? Is it a mistake?

that is the COOLEST fabric... where do you get your fabrics, please?

So helpful. Very new to sewing and I wanted to add a pocket to a sweatshirt. Helpful, clear, good visuals. My project turned out great. Thanks!

Very cool! You make it look so easy. Would you say that you generally get your fabrics from a common place? Or is it just a matter of finding cool fabrics in different places?

I know, I know. On the pattern piece is the exact placement for the pocket. After you cut out your pocket, I clip (tiny) one each side on the fold line for your pocket facing. You can either turn down a small amount to fabric to edge the top of the pocket. Then I usually baste (longer stitches) around the pocket on the seam line. Fold down the pocket facing and press. Then fold in the seams and press them to the actual size of the pocket using the basting stitches as your guide. Locate the position of the pocket on the right side (facing you) of the shirt. pin pocket in place. I start at the bottom of the pocket facing sewing to the top of the pocket about a 1/4 of an inch from the edge of the pocket, sew to where you are going to top stitch the pocket. when you start top stitching the pocket you are forming a long triangle at the top of the pocket, continue all the way around the pocket till you get to the other side top. Make a triangle again on the top corner as you did on the left side. pocket finished

Great video! Do u have this pattern on hand ? Or measurements to make our own template?

Where did you get the pocket pattern at the beginning of the video? Or does anyone have one similar?

Please consider doing a Men’s slacks and vest video

How do you make your machine go slow? Are you using a foot peddal?

Do you cut your own pocket template out or is there a place to get it already cut in that fashion?

Hey can you do a tutorial on how to sew a neck tie. Thanks

Do you shorten the stitch length as you come to the pivot point?

thank you for this video, although i have a question the first strange fold you did for the pocket, why you just didn't fold it twice and sew on it, i really don't understand the difference

When you press it how hot is your iron?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What are the dimensions of the pattern you started with? I looked through some comments and didn’t see an answer so I hope this isn’t too redundant of a question. Thank you!

how would you go about adding a pocket to an existing t-shirt?

Do you have a tutorial on matching stripes, plaids or a feature pocket on a shirt?

What size is your finished pocket after sewing on the shirt?

Where can I find the pattern?

This maybe a silly question but what Is difference from sewing on the inside vs top stitch?

Where can I find the pattern? Thanks!!

What’s the name of the liquid- to set stitch ends ⁉️ ... I think I need it spelled out

What brand are the little scissors that you are using ?

How do we know where the pocket goes on the left front panel ?

Where can I get the template for pocket?

How d y urn the fold s straight?
