This is probably the best video online about how to make side seam pockets, short, clear and easy to follow. One suggestion would be that if you are ever thinking of re-making this video, to perhaps use fabric that clearly has a right and wrong side, as in a print fabric. Understanding how to get the right sides INSIDE the pocket can be tricky for a newbie.
Best, easiest to clearly understand tutorial on putting in pockets. Their inside/outside nature makes my brain feel pretzeled when I try to imagine them!
I did this today for the first ever pocket I sewed into my first ever me-made dress (the pattern doesn't include pockets, sacrilegious!), and it worked like a charm! The instructions were so easy to follow and the result looks great. Thanks a lot for making this video!
I have read and reread my pattern on how to put the pockets into a pair of kids' pants and this video saved me. very clear and easy to understand. By far the easiest sewing video that I have seen yet. Thank you so much
This is my go-to video whenever I set pockets into my pants. Straight forward and to the point, clear as a bell without a lot of talky talky, and the camera angle is just perfect. Thanks!
This video was a revelation! I can not tell you how much I have over-thought this process, and how needlessly complex my technique was! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I return to this video time and time again. The most clearly stated tutorial I have seen on this topic. Thank you! Pura Vida from Costa Rica Central America
Thank you for the clear and understandable instructions. I love it when I find someone like you that can explain something with out all the needless chatter. I will l be following you for sure.
I agree that was the best and easiest and clearly understandable description of how to put in a pocket! I made a pair of pants today, a prototype for something I'm making, and I've done it before. I couldn't figure out how to do it! And finally I just left the pockets off. I should have come to you first! Now I know when I make the actual pants what to do! Thank you so much, great video!
Very concise and clear tutorial. I now get how to “pocket”. I like how you get straight to the point. Have subbed and looking forward to watching more of your tutes. Thanks.
Thank you, really helpful, though the dark fabric, and same appearence on both sides, got me a bit confused, and I couldn't see the top stitching, so still not sure whether it shows from outside or not? Very helpful on technique though.
Very useful, thank you. I’m making a dress with pockets and wasn’t sure whether to attach the pockets with the same seam allowance as usual. Now I know!
Yay! You helped me overcome my fear, and I just finished adding pockets to a muumuu I'm making. Excellent, easy to follow tutorial with no unnecessary fluff! MUCH appreciated
Lots of videos out there as to how to sew in pockets to the side seams and yours was the easiest and least complicated one to follow. Thank you for putting this tutorial up there is was a great help to me. One look and with your simple explanation, I got it and quickly put the pockets into my just-bought palazzo pants that, sadly, had none in them. Now, I'm a happy customer thanks to you!
Thank you for this so much. I have an independent pattern that was basically telling me the sam thing but it just didn’t make sense in the written directions.
