On my project, I attempted to copy how the pockets are from a pair of my pants. WRONG MOVE! It got all messed up, and I put it down 3 years ago! Now finding your channel, I think I can fix ALL my issues (on THIS project) and finally get it finished! YAY!!! 👍👍
Thank you so much for posting this! I almost gave up after watching so many who made it far more complicated than it needs to be. This gave me confidence so I really appreciate you! I followed this and it worked perfectly, so easy! LOVE!
Agreed! I just inserted pockets to a dress I am making. I did one using Anastasia’s method, and the other using someone else’s. Anastasia is the winner! I would like to comment on one thing though: very light fabric is used in this tutorial. Mine was slightly thicker, so I had to trim and press quite a bit to reduce the bulk. After a year of “serious sewing” 🤪 I find I still struggle with this - a video on the issue of bulk would be very much appreciated! Thank you Anastasia ❤
I know this comment is a year later, but you just made my day. Thank you so much for these very simple instructions!. I no longer need a patch pocket or none at all!
Thanks a lot for this clear video! It took me a bit longer, because I inserted pockets into an already existing jacket and I had to open the lining of this jacket as well, BUT I did it! It might not be perfect, but I can wear that jacket now.
I try to understand how people do it! I tried it once but the results wasn't good! Your step is easy and the results were perfect! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I will definitely try your way you teach!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad my video helped you. It means a lot to me that I can share my knowledge and make a positive impact. Best of luck with your future attempts!
Thank you so much for this video! You made it clear and simple. I’ve sewn pockets twice before but I just figured it out myself, so I didn’t do it in the easiest way at all. But I’ve just sewn my first one using this method and it looks great!
I followed the instructions of probably now 3-4 patterns and always made a huge mess of the pockets, not really understanding what I was doing because the instructions were so complicated. After watching this video I realized how simple it actually is. Thank you so much!!!
I have a flannel floor length nightgown that was huge and wanted to take in without losing the pockets. This was my first attempt ever at a side seam pocket. Definitely not as nice as yours lol, but did the job. 😂
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great that you were able to modify your nightgown and keep the pockets. Keep practicing and you'll improve with each attempt!
I want mine to attach to the waistband so the weight is evenly distributed. I’d l love to see you do that one- because there’s the issue of finagling the opening size etc. I’m adding it to my circle skirt
Thank you for these clear and exact instructions, but it’s harder on an already seamed garment. Do I deconstruct the whole side seam? I have been trying to just insert it injustice a partial opening and find it hard to sew.😮
Ty so much 4 yur consistency... I hv dah book but cant really innerstand it... So i really appreciLove yur vids... Question.. How do yu know wen to add or not add facing to the top of a bodice?
Love this video. Could the pocket be under stitched (instead of edge stitched) to keep the pocket on the inside of the garment? Just wondering if edge stitching and under stitching are the same thing and achieve the same results. Lastly, inseam pockets should always be pressed toward the front, is that correct?
Edge stitch is part of the understitch. Understitch is what we did cause we stitched down the seam allowance with the edge stitch. Yes pockets go to the front. Woohoo for pockets!
I tried doing a side seam pocket the other day. I had to seam reap at one point as i had turned one the wrong way. I've seen dressmakers mess the side pockets and the garmenr comes out lookinh frumpy. Now i know to cut the pocket in the shape of half an heart, iron and sew a 2nd seam after installing the pockets to keep the pocket down.

Clear and helpful!
Super! What are you putting pockets in?
A dress I'm making for a party coming up! Must have my chapstick on hand at all times haha! Thanks again @@SewAnastasia

Great lesson.. thank you
Welcome 🤗
Great tutorial! How can I neatly serge the pockets together so that the pocket has more integrity for wear and tear?
You can serge them together after you sew them into the side seam.
I will be trying this for a pair of pants I’m making for cosplay! You can never have too many pockets lol
That's awesome! Cosplay pants with lots of pockets are definitely a game-changer. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for watching.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You made it “ sew” easy.
PS. What make and model is your sewing machine?
I use the viking Epic 1, 2 and 3.
Thank you for this
You are very welcome 🤗
Nice and very easy
So good right!

@@audreypedragon6646 Sean rip the opening bigger then the pocket. You don’t need to do the whole seam.

It depends on how you want it to look. There are different methods for finishing necklines. Bias binding, bias facing, facing, lining etc.
I was following a mccalls pattern. They did not do it this way. They way they did msde zero sense.this make much more sense!!!
I’m happy this way is making sense for you 💖 Happy sewing 🧵
Do you have a video showing this process on an existing pair of pants, shorts?

Thank you. I have French seamed them. I don't like the look of a zickz stich finish.
Girl I love your energy!!!! You just made it look so easy, off to try it with my new skirt🤍
You got this!!!
Needed these clear instructions. I tried to sow seams and pocket in one go with serger and cut a hole in my front piece 😢
Süper
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Love from Pakistan sister ❤️🇵🇰
How do you add pockets without side seams?
@@1492641 you can put a patch pocket on.
Distracted by the eyebrows. 😂
Could you, or do you have a video of this....but with a FILLED side stitch style??
brb adding pockets to every dress I own
LOL yessssss! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i am trying to sew pockets into my coat but after sewing them on they keep getting lose. So i don't know how to find a solution to this
@@yuverburg9204 are you backstitching?
@no but maybe I should use different fabric
Like to learn more
What other videos would you like to see?
@@SewAnastasia love to how to sewing short
10-16 23 How do you sew straight 1/8 inch away from seam without a guide? Please do a video.
It is easier than you think. There should be a guide on your foot for it.
So here I am never sewed in my life thinking it would be easy lol.
It gets easier with time & practice . Remember it takes 10,000 hours to be a master at a skill.
I think there’s a dancing avocado on your finger 3:59
Lol 😂
U look so beautiful
