REAL POCKETS for REAL WOMEN! or How to Extend Your Useless Girl-Pockets 

Yes! I was drafting some pocket patterns for my jeans, but that section where the jeans' pocket meets the side seam confused my brain for some reason. I thought, "oh no, am I going to have to unpick the side seams to do this the way the manufacturer did?!". And I am so glad I made myself stop and search this up on RU-vid, because you took away my anxiety and disappointment with your simple clip and sew method! I don't know why that didn't enter my mind! But I am so glad I found your video! Thank you for taking the time to make and post this!❤❤❤ you have saved my mental health today. 😅 And I just wanna add as an aside, I'm not normally a tattoo person, but yours are works of art.

A roll of that double sided basting tape would have come in handy for this project and no pins to stick yourself. Thank you for making this video it is a big help for me to replace torn pockets in blue jeans.

Thank you so much! I love your attention to detail. I don't even put that much stuff in my pockets but mine are so short that my Chapstick keeps falling out. So annoying!

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

My next sewing project.

Thanks so much!!!

Thank you so much. I'm going to do this with all my pants now 💕

Oh man this is going to be awesome. All my jeans don’t have big enough pockets for my phone. I need this in my life.

You are amazing! Thank you soo much!❤

I love your laugh!

Very punk DIY thanks for the tutorial! Am sharing with a Tumblr friend!

I need to make my husband’s pocket wider on one pair of his shorts… I’m going to try this technique from the side and then attach it to the top near the waistband. Thanks for the idea.

Thank you for making this so easy to follow! At first I wondered why not sew this on a machine but now I see it would be a nightmare to sew it in place that way. What's a good thread for this? My usual bottom-shelf cotton thread seems to tangle every time I pull a stitch through.

thank you so much ❤

Thank you!

Thank I made some today went from 2.5 inches to 6.5!!!

Good video BUT @11:51 you show the stitching you did. Was it by hand or by sewing machine. I think it would be awkward to be able to use the machine. Maybe there is a trick to that ? Oops, the description implies only hand stitching. Thank You.

thankss

I watched to see how you sewed this . Was it done by hand or machine

Oh wow, now that is a real useful pocket! Thanks!

The cleaners want24$or more to lengthen my 3 inch pockets. I try to follow by HAND your instuctions

I get women don't need larger pockets since their hands are smaller, but most of the ones made in the 3rd millennium (and a good deal made since the 70s too) seem comically undersized. Forget having enough room for a wallet and a hand, I don't think even 1/3 of them can fit their wearer's hand.

I was worried about your lips at the start :))

I found this tutorial a little confusing because she sometimes skips ahead and I think there are a couple of places that she actually skips a step at least doesn’t show it in the video and I got very confused. I also think that a lot of the tailoring details are admirable but totally unnecessary for this purpose. French seams are always nice and they’re easy to do, but creating these pockets with no visible raw seam is overkill, unless you are going to turn your jeans inside out and admire your handiwork. I recommend this tutorial as a much simpler choice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DeBAyAl-KOE.html

Thank you so much for this video I was planning on making my pockets bigger so I could shoplift more

Why you didn't show how to sew

But why wouldn't you show how you sewed it on your sewing machine?

You cut it short. Okay. But where you really failed was NOT demonstrating the actual sewing on the machine. Epic fail. I'll look for another video.
