I DID IT‼ After 60+ years of sewing; I'm FINALLY making proper welt pockets.‼
😂🎉🎉Yesss. Likewise.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for making my life easier😊
I’m proud of you very hard to change techniques but worth it
I wish I could give you a hug. I was getting ready to abandon welt pockets on a project I really wanted them for (bomber jacket) because I couldn't get the hang of the traditional way. THANK YOU!!!!!
Omg this is genius! Nothings stopping me from welting everything from here on out haha 😂
Thank you! I converted those fake pockets on my vest pattern into a true pocket. It looks great! thank you for sharing.
This is by FAR the best video on welt pockets….and believe me, I’ve seen them all! Thank you!
Definitely the easiest, clearest, cleanest welt method I’ve ever seen done!
thank you for using voice and not background music only. very nicely done
Catherine, thank you SO much for this video! My dad wanted pockets added to his jean jacket, and I just used your method, and it came out so much better than I ever thought it would!
I did make a small adjustment that might work for some other viewers, depending on their project. Because I wanted a crisper edge to the pocket, I topstitched around the opening after folding and pinning the welt, rather than just stitching along the bottom seam allowance. It worked well and added a detail around the pocket to help it match the jean jacket a bit better.
Again, thank you. This video helped me immensely!!!
Really easy to follow, made something that I thought was very difficult super easy!
This is exactly what I needed! Now I finally have pockets in a gorgeous jacket I bought 30 years ago but never wore because every time I put it on I said, "Man, I wish this had pockets!" LOL!
This saved me from having to cut all new jacket pieces and starting over again. I had to interface my opening closed and start over with this technique. It worked so beautifully! 🎉 I am so grateful!
This video has been so incredibly helpful! Other videos I've watched and webpages I've read about how to make a welt pocket make no sense to me, but this one helped me make my very first welt pockets on a quilted jacket I put together. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Brilliant! I’ve made a million welt pockets but never as quick and simple as this great method. I like to have my fabric extend to the waist seam ) for extra support and a clean look ~ So I’ll just adjust that bit on mine. Thanks for the excellent video!
Amazing! I just made my girst waistcoat and I dreaded that part. But this was easy peasy thanks to you!
Wow! I jumped off the couch as your video was ending to add a welt pocket to excersize pants! This is the easiest tutorial I’ve seen. I can’t wait to add pockets to my DIL leggings and she can stop putting her phone in her bra when teaching nursery school! LOL Thanks!!!!😊
Haha, Kathy, your comment made me laugh. So cute. I hope the welt pocket went well!
The best welt pocket video!
OMG, what an honour to hear you say that!! But, I have to admit that I agree, lol! Thank you my friend!
Nice clear instructions without music, thank you!
This is the best example for sewing a Welt Pocket! Thank you!
You are so welcome, and thanks for the support. I love this method and want the whole sewing world to see this video, lol.
Best and easiest welt pocket after years of sewing I have ever seen,thank you❤
Thank you so much for a great tutorial, I’m upcycling a fur gilet and using velvet as my pocket fabric! Am I mad? Yes, but I held your hand throughout and could not be happier with the results. Thank you
Where have you been all my life? Finally I did a welt pocket without losing my mind and one day trying. This video is amazing. Thank you. Also the technique of starting from the middle...genius. 🎉
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve made 4 attempts to sew a welt pocket using the pattern instructions and they were terrible. I knew there must be a simpler way. Thank you
I managed to sew the pocket hole shut from another tutorial, 😂.. gotta laugh
Thanks for this tutorial - it solved it; working pockets now!
Aha! Thank you for another great addition to our sewing arsenal, Catherine! Tailoring class 1985: Showed off my not-so-easy to make welt pocket to my Mom and her neighbor. My mom suggested I make a second pocket like the upscale store bought jackets 😮. Margaret saw my face and said, "Tell your mother, Then you wouldn't be able to afford it (the jacket)!" Still laughing after all these years.
This video blew my mind! So many years complaining about "fake pockets" in my coats!! LOL
Thaaaank you !
I just made two beautiful welt pockets with black and white checker fabric with no problems at all. Opening of pocket is in bias. And pocket is diagonally placed on my jacket. It's so pritty I can cry, as you always say. I wish I can send you some pictures. I love your instructions it' spot on. I alway watch your youtube on TV when I'm sewing in my sewing room. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Amazing technique!!! A friend gave me a dress I really loved, but it had no pockets, and worst - no side seams. So it was either patch pockets (which personally I don't like) or welt. And there it sat, for like 2 years, untill I watched this video! Finally it's done. I would give myself a C for fhe execution, but if you can see the puckers then you're too close anyway...
Great video Catherine. I will definitely send the students over here to watch this one.
Oh, thanks, Amy! I think it really does simplify the process for students. Happy holidays to you!
Loved this way of making welt pockets! Great video! I used to dislike making them until now! Thank you so much!
OMG!!! I feel like a superstar now!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Wow! This is an awesome way to do welt pockets. I can't wait to try this.
this tutorial is extremely underrated 💜
now i just need to watch it 476 times before i feel confident enough about what i am doing to actually try it on the pants i like 🤪💜
Thanks, I think so too, lol. Before cutting into your pants, try it out on scrap fabric, just to make sure you're happy with it!
thank you for this video!! first time doing this (after a quick test on some scraps) and it came out perfect!!
Perfect! I have a waistcoat pattern that has no pockets and I need some to put my pock watch and such in and this is perfect for making custom pockets. I think I’ll have to sew along while watching though :)
I've seen loads of examples of how to sew a welt pocket and this by far is the best way to do it. It makes sewing fun a pleasure and fuss free . Also I love that you're video doesn't has horrid music playing with no dialogue. Straight forward plain easy to understand instructions. I am looking forward to seeing other videos that you have made . Kind regards from a gentleman in the UK. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
Wow! You are such a wonderful teacher! Your illustration is sooo clear and simple. Bravo!
AWESOME video, this is so well shown and explained for such a tricky 3 dimensional piece, I really appreciate it
You made it so easy. I abandoned the pattern and used your method. Thanks so much.
By far this method is the most uncomplicated of all, yet yielding exact results!!🙏
Oh my! Your instructions were so amazing it gave me the confidence to put welt pockets in a $400 Masters graduation gown. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
That is so cool! Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing this.🙂
I have to say how you make something so intricate looking so easy just amazing thank you and best wishes from Portugal
Practiced on a scrap piece of fabric and wow!! Thank you!!
Here for it, Sister! Happy New Year!! Welt me, baby!!

@@CatherineSews No question!!
That’s super easy to do your pocket the way you explain. Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you SO much! That is very gratifying!
You are so gifted at making techniques easier-to-understand and within reach. Thank you! ❤
Thank you ma'am for Showing me some good techniques in my sewing pocket.
Thank you so much! Very clear and you show each step. I was able to sew the pockets for the vest thanks to your video.
Thank you! I truly appreciate this so much! I was scratching my head with my pattern instructions.
I just realized that when I sent a comment, is showing as @charlesdelamotte my name is myong.
I've been sawing many years because of necessry, I'm 4ft 11" tall and weigh about 110 pound. I always have hard time finding any clothes that fits me well. I've been makeing my own outfits over 25 year, but I was always afraid to try welt pockets, so many pieces and it never comes out good. But with your instruction. I did it at first try. Thank you again
Best welt pocket tutorial! Thank you for your video!🎉🎉🎉❤
Wow I am so happy I found this video thank you so much!!!!
excellent tutorial!!!! i made a sample and stop start, step by step, my test pocket was perfect!!! now off to do the real ones :)
I hope it went really well, Kelly! Fingers crossed for you!
I just put in my first ever welted pockets! Thank you!
OMG, thank you so much for this video. I did get a little stuck a few times here and there, but thanks to RUclips, I just ran it back and tried again. I did have to deviate a little bit near the end. But the end result was the same. Your video made this process so much easier. Thank you so much for making this video. It's definitely going to the top of my go-to tutorials for sewing.
I want to start making all my jeans with low profile welted cargo pockets for my phone on one side and wallet on the other. This is a great tutorial. I expect I will have to account for the weight of phone with at least a strip of velcro to seal the pocket - but I can't wait to get started. Subscribed and thank you !
THANK YOU! Incredible tutorial 🎉
Thank you Catherine, your explanations are so clear! How can I apply this method to a jacket that is already made?
Well done you an excellent video I've just started sewing and I'm making my first waistcoat and I was wondering how to get around doing the pocket good work thank you again.
I was so incredibly confused but after watching this video it seems so simple thank you!!!
Thank you for a fantastic easy to follow method.
Another fantastic video. Some fantastic tips and great instruction.
Awww, thanks Jason! It's always great to have your support.

Thank you so much I wanted to see awestruck pocket and couldn't I was so confused but you made it so easy ❤
This is fabulous. Wow so easy 😃
Great video. So simple. 8:31
Just what I need - making pyjama pants for my sons, they want pockets in them (of course) and there's no side seam. Didn't want to put a patch pocket on so this will hopefully be the solution! Thank you for the clear instructions :D
You are ingenious!! Now I can do it!!
Thanks for this tutorial!! I am creating bags with pieced quilt patterns and I wanted a welt pocket for a cell phone.
Fabulous pelt pocket.
Awesome differently will try this. Thank you sew sew much. 😊
Well, I just had to throw away a jacket I was making because I screwed up the pockets soooo bad! I can't wait to try this tomorrow!!
So clear and easy to understand! Thank you!
OMG. This is amazing and beautiful.
This is so incredibly helpful, thank you so much.
Thank you!!!! I made two waistcoats over the weekend and had to give them away for free because the welt pockets were a mess😖. This is such an easy and neat meathod, cannot wait to give it another try❤
Fabulous pocket technique! Thanks.
WOAAH! That was amazing, thanks so much for sharing!
using it tomorrow, but I'll make my own variation. Thank you!
Really great job! ❤
Definitely will try this on my next jacket. Thank you!
Thank You, thank you, thank you! I needed this!
Excellent tutorial
This is brilliant!! 🥰
Wow. So easy. Thanks
I’ve had my sewing machine less than a month and this was my first welt pocket attempt and it looks great!! Thanks!
Congrats, Stephanie! That's fantastic to hear!
WOW! perfect, can't wait to try this.
NO BACKGROUND MUSIC! im subscribing...❤❤❤❤
This is the best welt pocket attempt I've seen. I thinking of using this same technique for double welt's ?
This is a double welt, also called a jetted, pocket. A single welt has a "flap" extending up from the lower opening.

Thank you I’m trying this today
