Reminded me of a documentary about a company that designs and produces clothes for people who rely on wheelchairs. Having pockets that are accessible while sitting was also a big part of the design. Personally, I really love having pockets, even if I don't always use all of them. Just having the option to use them when needed is nice. Stop fake pockets!
Brilliant. I remember sometime ago about a study that showed men suffering back pain because they were sitting unevenly with one back pocket filled with an often overstuffed wallet. I have finally understood and conquered the sewing of the men's fly on pants and I am graduating from mock up to my first pair of pants for my husband. He's gonna have a surprise pocket! Thank you!
Pocket tidbit: in the days of skirts supported by hoops at each side, many of these side hoops were made to function as pockets. Rather like carrying a basket or shopping bag with frame on each hip.
🔥Soooo good!!! Definitely gonna add little side pockets to my shorts. I love wearing my cargo pants its the most freeing feeling, knowing that i can carry everything i need comfortably.
I'm glad that you picked up on the smartphone issue. When I made my own trousers I put my phone pocket in the same place for the reasons you mentioned and because unlike the rear pocket it's less likely to send a phone into the toilet.
I love listening to you. Your voice is so calming! As well as being so informative. Loving the pocket idea with out having all the extra bulk with a cargo pocket. X
That is really funny the way you framed the video, answering the question in the first 15 seconds. But, I love random history. Learning why buttons on shirts are on different sides for men and women would be awesome content.
The two reasons why I started to make my own clothes were 1) Long sleeve T-shirts never have actually long sleeves and 2) jeans pockets were either way too small or there weren’t enough for me. The pattern I made for my current jeans has 6 huge pockets and it’s genuinely changed my life. Sounds like an exaggeration but it has.
I love watching you cut your fabric so slowly and carefully. Thanks for reminding me to slow down. I just moved and in the next month or two I will get settled and sewing again. I definitely am going to sign up for your class.
I'm happy to hear that's what you got from the video @ivorybow and @kimberlyflouhouse42. I hope the move was as smooth as possible and you enjoy the new place.
Have you already made a patch pocket video? Yours looks much nicer than what I’ve managed to do. About front pockets, I’ve lengthened the pockets on the right side of all my pants and the left side for all my husband’s pants for exactly the same reason - phone. We keep on pocket short because it’s annoying to have keys on your thigh 😂But I love the idea of adding patch pockets. I’ll do this next! Although it might be too bulky for jeans.
😂 I do the same for my daughter with every jeans she buys! She was jealous of her brothers pockets. Womens pants are non-functional in that respect. I would also like to see a tutorial on this pocket: it's brilliant!
Spellbinding as per usual Corn' Thanks for the interesting history and delicious footage demonstrating your honed craft. So down-to-earth, personable, and informative. Fantastic innovation with the phone pockets. To make an elegant cargo-pocket is no small feat imo. Folks are wearing cross-body bags as a result of the new necessity. I'm considering how crazy a funny shoulder-holster thing would look-- since I find them so heavy. Grateful for your accessible, high-quality videos :)
Sooooo... I subscribed to Craftsy, but you don't have classes there, when will you? Is that a possibility? Thank you for the advice, Craftsy is really cool, it's only missing your whimsy
@@CorneliusQuiring If they don't sign you up right away with the highest salary there, they are missing.out... actually hire me as your manager, if Craftsy don't want us, we will go to creativebug! For a mere 90% of your paycheck I will be your manager... What a sweet deal 🤝💯 😂
Loooove the side pockets! I am adding them to some of my pants! About the back pockets, I like them for those who need to add a little volume in that area 😊
Hi! French native speaker here. I think you meant "poche", pronounced like posh. It means bag or pocket. Thank you for your content, dear. I'm taking notes!
Hello thank you for your videos but now back to topic : There is a Reason for using "detached" or "patch" pockets ( cargopockets) on garments. "Patchpocktes" do not only offer more space - they also seperate the pocket and its "cargo" from the underlying clothpattern which fits your bodyshape. So you can tell if somebody has any type of "cargo" in his pockets , a tumor or just a bad pattern. Hope you kow what i mean . regards Patrick
So... pockets for women went from: something that was conveniently held in place by the hips (hands-free), but easy to steal; to something conveniently held in place by the hips and hidden to be less easy to steal; to something that was conveniently held in place by a seam and hidden; to something that is easy to grab while running and oh, by the way, it's gonna slip off your forking shoulder constantly! 😡
Personally, I do not have much use for pockets. Part of it is that while some of my trousers came with pockets...others did not. Some came with the sewn in side pockets, and maybe patch pockets in back. But, most of my skirts and dresses have no pockets. In fact, it is normal for me to wear something over my regular clothes when out, so...that creates another issue because if I HAVE pockets underneath, they are not exactly easy to get to. But then, when I go out someplace, I always have my hand-bag with me...and my rucksack, so if I have to make a stop at the supermarket, I am already set, plus I have someplace to carry my water. So...like the skirt I am making right now, the pattern came with pockets...but, I would have no use for them when I am home, only when I am out...but, where does everything go? In my hand-bag, so...nix the pockets!
an H for the algorithm, also as you guessed im interested in sewing but I make gear (a backpack, pouches, etc) and sometimes clothing (I used your guide to sew myself a white shirt).
The side pocket seems like an excellent idea. Would it be difficult to add a side pocket like that to existing pants? I was just looking for my 3rd sewing project and learning pockets seems like a good one?
@@dreadwinter Seams like a good one! 🧵🥸 I’ll let the experts answer, but I think it’s just a matter of opening up the seams along the side of the pants and adding the pockets. Good luck on your nobel quest for pockets! 👍
Yes, it would be possible to do this on a finished pair of pants. As @marcydrake9159 says, you'll need to open the inside leg seam so you have a flat surface to work with.
Not difficult. I followed the instructions from this video, which although for skirts worked just as well on trousers. ruclips.net/video/thlzJj1EHiY/видео.html
Finding myself going the other way. The front pocket definitely is an uncomfortable (yet often the best available) way to store things, so thats one aspect I don't like. Additionally, if i sweat at all, that means my phone, which is in my pocket right next to my sweaty body, is getting wet. So i have been yearning for us to go medieval, wear high waisted pocketless pants, and hang a pouch on a belt around the natural waist. Then, my hips are holding the weight, but it's separated from my disgusting self a little bit. But people do look at me funny when im running around in medieval garb
May they look even more then, I say :) A modern day fanny back is just a reimagined medieval pouch :) It sounds like you know what works for you and I encourage that.
I was looking at taking a video game pant design there military in style from the future the game is mass effect they have the pockets on the side I like this design
As a quilter who has recently started garment making, I love to see you exploring quilting as well! ETA - a lower side-seam pocket (with a zipper) that is accessible just above the knee is great for situations where you are seated for a long time, such as wheelchair use or long-haul flights.
Indeed! I've been wearing the shorts for a few days now and The pants are great for sitting and standing. Also, I'm glad to hear you're making your way over to the garment side of things :)
"poque" is pronounced like pocket but without the -et at the end. I think "pocket" is the english spelling of "poquette". The -ette at the end for small things is also borrowed from french language :) Interesting video, I didn't know half of it, thank you!
Depends on what you're carrying and what posture you're likely to be when you reach for your pocket contents. For example, bike jerseys have pockets across the lower back because anywhere on the legs/hips would be in the way and awkward to reach.
@@Eloraurora could you link a bike jersey as a way to describe that to me? It's sounding like the pants of that outfit don't have pockets at all which would prove my point if it is.
Reminded me of a documentary about a company that designs and produces clothes for people who rely on wheelchairs. Having pockets that are accessible while sitting was also a big part of the design.

Amen, on the fake pockets. Why have them there then, you know. Also, that sounds like an interesting documentry,

I have finally understood and conquered the sewing of the men's fly on pants and I am graduating from mock up to my first pair of pants for my husband. He's gonna have a surprise pocket! Thank you!
That would make a lot of sense. Also, good on you for finally tackling the fly. Your husband is a lucky man.
That would be George Costanza
