    A very helpful video as I plan to add a water bottle pocket to each side of my day pack. However, I have a question, you methods seem to be for a bag in progress of being sewn, what do you if the bag is new off the shelf?

    Thank you so much for this! You were very thorough, didn't skip a step and went through a lot of work for this video, I can tell. Thank you for that! I got my daughter a cute backpack for starting kindergarten, and it doesn't have any cup pockets! Ty!

    Such an easy method to use for adding side pockets to a bag pattern. Will try it for a tote bag I'm making. TYSM for sharing this video with us.

    Great tutorial! I'm making a bag that has binding around all endings/corners. I'm wondering how you set up your binding to the bottom of mesh pocket for additional reinforcement so I don't end up with too many layers of fabric at the bottom (working with outdoor/duck thick fabric).

    I am making a Sydney Bag by Swoon, which I love by the way. I am making this bag with some modification. I need to make inside pockets to hold a regular water bottle. Would it be possible to make the pocket with a gathered elastic top and the bottom would be open but finished and fold the pocket in half and then seam it into the side seams of the lining? My measurement of the pocket...I'm thinking...would be 6" H x 10 1/2" long..allowing for seam allowance, but this piece would be folded in half and sewn into the seam allowance. Would I need the piece to be longer to accommodate fullness for the elastic? Or should I redesign the pocket pattern using your design...the V design as shown in your video? Thank you

    Do you need a specific type of mesh for the mesh pocket? I just have the kind from hobby lobby. It was cheap for what I need it for 😂

    • @bronwyncarr6714
      @bronwyncarr6714 4 года назад +1

      If you're putting something sturdy in like a water bottle, you'll want to use some decent strong mesh: sewsweetness.com/products/mesh?v=8e3eb2c69a18

    I've already sewn the pocket but my elastic must have still been too long as its not very stretchy. Is there anything I can do to help it ?

      I have the same question! Perhaps the width of the panel?

  • @kj3d812

    You say "any" bag, but both bags you show have a gusset on each side. The purse I want to add a side pocket to has a single seam down the sides. It would be helpful to have instructions on how to add side pockets to a single-seam bag as well. (since these instructions are not really for "any" bag -- only those with a side gusset)

    You never said how many inches are the height of the pocket? The one that holds a bottle of water?

    Your video should titled "how to make a pocket" because you don't show how to "ADD" a pocket.

  • @gamer101_
    @gamer101_ 3 года назад +2

    The title of the video is literally "how to ADD.." and it only showed the process of her making it. not add it to any backpack. that's stupid really
