I love your videos. Knowing how to sew is one thing; being able to instruct/educate is another. You’ve mastered both. I prefer your pleasant, to the point, visual style, to most. Thank you ❤️
Excellent instruction! I'm so glad I checked out your tutorial before I tried to figure it out on my own. Love the close up shots and how slowly you do each step. Thanks a bunch!
I didn't even watch this before I liked it. I mainly picked up sewing to make a fursuit, but watching your videos makes me want to try other things. I even started covering my sewing machine with stickers, lol.
lmao! I noticed there was a couple "Likes" on this video right when i published it! I was like "There's no WAY someone watched this whole thing before they liked it!" Thanks a ton of the comment and the support. Glad you enjoy the videos, and I look forward to seeing your first projects! Have a great weekend :)
So grateful for the gentle pace of your instructions, allowing me to wrap my brain around what you’re doing so I understand the concept instead of having to keep rewinding and just follow each step a million times. Thank you!
I will absolutely be doing a tutorial on jeans before Christmas, I get so many requests for that and can't wait to share that with everyone :) I appreciate the positive comment! Hope you have a great weekend!
Your sewing skills and teaching method is excellent! I am now confident that I can sew pockets and am going to put my new knowledge to good use over the Christmas weekend. Thank you!
@@TockCustom thanks so much for making them. Yes today will be a great day. I'm with family for lunch and the evening is sewing an easy messenger bag. 👍🏻

I remember trying to make a pocket tee years ago and gave up. You're video was super helpful beginning to end and helped me pick up where I left off. THANK YOU.
My plan is to add pockets similar to this to my friends tee shirts that already have pockets. The present pockets are not deep enough to carry his cordless phone. He uses a walker by shuffling for short distances, approximately 12 feet or less. For longer distances he requires a wheelchair. I admire his determination & wish to help make his life a tad easier. Thanks for your well thought out instructions. ☮️💞🙏🏼
Well I was just thinking of making a buttoned shirt then this video popped up, even though I don't know how to make one, I'll save this for future use. Thumbs up
I'm working on the other videos right now to help people do a button down shirt from start to finish! Glad you found this, the new ones will be up soon :)
My Mother would give you an A!! She was an extremely picky seamstress. She taught me that exact same technique. The only thing she added was to use a tailor’s clapper to set the edges nice and sharp. Mom would also be very pleased with your hidden pocket placement💕. That’s same way she did hers.
I got my old ish... sewing machine out to sew my feathered pillows from 4 flat pillows to 2. It worked out ok from watching u to help me but idk something is funky going on w/ my machine. I almost wanna sell it & buy a new one. Threading the bobbin is a bitc$! Anyways, nice video thank u for sharing yr talent!
Yeah, sometimes starting out with a fresh machine makes an enormous difference. If you're going to do something, you might as well enjoy it, and get good results. Let me know if you make an upgrade and how you like it! Thanks for the comment :)
Hello from your neighbor in Dallas! I love your tutorials and would love to take some sewing classes if you teach any or ever decide to. It is so hard for me to figure out a lot of patterns. The basic stuff is easy but they always seem to throw a wrench into the sewing machine and I get frustrated and quit that project and start something else. I believe that I am going to finish this M6044 shirt though. Great instructions easy to understand and very informative.
Hey Amy! I'm happy these videos have been helpful :) I'm working on setting up some classes to teach through Mr Sewing Machine by Wherehouse Fabrics this summer. Feel free to email me here if you need something specific: chris@tockcustom.com
Great video, I just made a bunch of bib style aprons and I wish I would have watched this video first. The ones I put on looked ok but the ones in the video looked so much better. Will make pockets like these on the next batch. Thanks
For sure, keep it mind you can make custom shapes for your pockets. Just sew the top opening the same way, but you can do squares, rounded bottoms, or anything you'd like!
Soooo, I've been planning to do a full tutorial on making a pair of men's pants - and I was going to shoot this video separately. Excellent idea, and I will be doing this very soon! Thanks for the comment!
This is the best damn pocket I ever made ! Your a genesis. 💯The pocket in my pattern instruction uses a facing and a bulky 5/8 seam and I could never get the pocket to have nice sharp edges . Thanks 😊
Omg - it helped tons! I have been checking out your videos and you’ve inspired me to learn more. You make sewing approachable - thanks for sharing your knowledge 😃
this is a fantastic sewing video but would love the dimensions of the pattern piece!! okay editing this just to say you really did SLAY this video-- just used it to make a pocket (found dimensions on google) literally so easy and simple to follow and my pocket looks perfect!!!!!!
Hi, many, many thanks for the tutorials which I have found invaluable in getting started. One small suggestion. When making a sew on pocket I’ve found it gives a better finish by not cutting all the way down before inverting the top of the pocket. The inside piece should be cut all the way, but what becomes the outside piece does not need to be cut at all, or only halfway.
Yes, where you clip out the corners, not clipping the whole way allows a piece of fabric to extend up and so the actual small spot where the cut ends is not visible. Try not cutting the whole way .
Tock Custom look at Teach Yorself to Sew: Patch Pockets by Threads Sewing. Their clipping of the corners illustrates what I am talking about. But..l your tutorial is much better.
love this! you inspired me to get a Sewing Machine so i can make Hammocks for my Pet Rats, but i want to try designing a shirt/hoodie for myself after seeing this! Keep up the good work, love the videos!
That sounds like such a fun project! I'm really happy these videos have been helpful. I kind of started the same way, I just wanted to make a costume... and found myself sewing every day after it was done... I just wanted to keep learning how to make new things :) Thanks for the comment! Have a terrific weekend!
Ty for a great tutorial! I have a question: do I always have to sew from the front, like u did with the pocket? Or I can sew the way that the top thread would be on the wrong side? Is it a mistake?
It was part of a button down shirt pattern from Simplicity. It'll come with any shirt pattern that uses pockets, or you could probably just make one up 🙂
This is such a good tutorial!! I think my only question is how to position the shirt while using the sewing machine so you don’t accidentally sew it shut?
With most machine, if you press lightly on the foot pedal, it will go slower. Also, you can turn the wheel by hand to go super slow. Some machines even have a feature that lets you throttle the maximum speed of the stitches too, so you have a few options depending on your equipment. Hope this helps! Have an excellent week!
What are the dimensions of the pattern you started with? I looked through some comments and didn’t see an answer so I hope this isn’t too redundant of a question. Thank you!
Oh man, I totally could, but making a tie is way harder than I originally thought when I first made one. There are a few simple tricks to doing it a bit easier though. I'll add that to my list for sure, great recommendation :)
This is an awesome tutorial!! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m new to sewing and I found it very easy to understand. That fabric is also BOMB! Do you happen to have the measurements of this pocket? I found a free one online, but I’m not sure I like it as much and it’s a little shorter than I want it, and slightly wide.
I know, I know. On the pattern piece is the exact placement for the pocket. After you cut out your pocket, I clip (tiny) one each side on the fold line for your pocket facing. You can either turn down a small amount to fabric to edge the top of the pocket. Then I usually baste (longer stitches) around the pocket on the seam line. Fold down the pocket facing and press. Then fold in the seams and press them to the actual size of the pocket using the basting stitches as your guide. Locate the position of the pocket on the right side (facing you) of the shirt. pin pocket in place. I start at the bottom of the pocket facing sewing to the top of the pocket about a 1/4 of an inch from the edge of the pocket, sew to where you are going to top stitch the pocket. when you start top stitching the pocket you are forming a long triangle at the top of the pocket, continue all the way around the pocket till you get to the other side top. Make a triangle again on the top corner as you did on the left side. pocket finished
thank you for this video, although i have a question the first strange fold you did for the pocket, why you just didn't fold it twice and sew on it, i really don't understand the difference
When you do it this way, it takes a ton of the bulk out of the top corners. You can do it by doing a rolled hem (like back pockets to jeans), but again, you end up with a ton of extra bulky fabric. Also every dress shirt pattern I've seen does their breast pockets this way :) Hope this helps!
@@TockCustom If you want I can describe to you how to do it. It will also work if you want to feature a design on the pocket like the one you are featuring. Just let me know. if you have a window you can get in front of I can show you something cool
Very cool! You make it look so easy. Would you say that you generally get your fabrics from a common place? Or is it just a matter of finding cool fabrics in different places?
Thanks! Most of my fabrics come from Fabric.com and Joann Fabrics... Once in a while I'll get stuff from specialty fabric outlets, or Hobby Lobby. You can even create your own custom fabrics at Spoonflower.com
I love your videos too, but I must admit that the upper sides of the pocket look sloppy. Is there some way of making the entire side of the pocket look like one straight line?
Nope, there's a little trick you can do where you can stop stitching before the pivot, raise the needle, raise the presser foot, reposition the fabric so the needle goes in the perfect spot on the corner, then slowly lower your needle to make sure you have the right spot, lower your presser foot, and then sink your needle into the fabric. Then just do your pivot and continue on! This also works if you about to sew past your pivot point. Great question :)
I'd make a round bottom pocket like this one with knit fabric, mark where you want the pocket to be with chalk, then open up the left side seam of the t-shirt - pin the pocket into place, sew it onto your shirt, and then sew the side seam all the way back together from the bottom to the tip of the sleeve. Then probably overlock that seam to make it look clean on the inside. Hope the all makes sense :)
Uhhhhhhh, I don't know... its just the patterns peice from the shirt I was making. You can practice with any size really, but its probably about 3.5"x5.5"? Sorry if that isn't helpful, but I appreciate you watching!
My god, a sewing video with a man! I get the feeling I'm one of the few men that actually sew! Thanks for the video!

Hey can you do a tutorial on how to sew a neck tie. Thanks
Oh man, I totally could, but making a tie is way harder than I originally thought when I first made one. There are a few simple tricks to doing it a bit easier though. I'll add that to my list for sure, great recommendation :)
Is there a place I can get the measurements for the pattern for the pocket?
My haphazard pinning has f'd me so many times, now I will remember to do it methodically.
lol, took me a while to figure out how to pin stuff without stabbing myself, or getting caught in the machine!
This is an awesome tutorial!! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m new to sewing and I found it very easy to understand. That fabric is also BOMB! Do you happen to have the measurements of this pocket?

Great video! Do u have this pattern on hand ? Or measurements to make our own template?
Oh this breast pocket just came with any typical button down shirt pattern. They are always included :)
I love your videos too, but I must admit that the upper sides of the pocket look sloppy. Is there some way of making the entire side of the pocket look like one straight line?
Do you shorten the stitch length as you come to the pivot point?
Nope, there's a little trick you can do where you can stop stitching before the pivot, raise the needle, raise the presser foot, reposition the fabric so the needle goes in the perfect spot on the corner, then slowly lower your needle to make sure you have the right spot, lower your presser foot, and then sink your needle into the fabric. Then just do your pivot and continue on!
This also works if you about to sew past your pivot point. Great question :)
This maybe a silly question but what Is difference from sewing on the inside vs top stitch?
No worries - Sewing on the inside = "You cannot see the stitches"
Topstitching = "You can see the stitches"
Thats pretty much it
Where can I find the pattern?
how would you go about adding a pocket to an existing t-shirt?
I'd make a round bottom pocket like this one with knit fabric, mark where you want the pocket to be with chalk, then open up the left side seam of the t-shirt - pin the pocket into place, sew it onto your shirt, and then sew the side seam all the way back together from the bottom to the tip of the sleeve. Then probably overlock that seam to make it look clean on the inside.
Hope the all makes sense :)
What brand are the little scissors that you are using ?
Those are my precision snips from Famore Cutlery - I love their stuff, you can find it here: famorecutlery.com?aff=3

What size is your finished pocket after sewing on the shirt?
What’s the name of the liquid- to set stitch ends ⁉️ ... I think I need it spelled out
Oh, its called Fray Check - there's also something called Liquid Stitch, but I don't like it as much :)
can i get a tc sticker for on my sewingmachine ?
How do we know where the pocket goes on the left front panel ?
There is a mark on the pattern that tells you where it goes. I just mark the top with chalk, line it up, pin it in place, and sew it :)
Where can I get the template for pocket?
What are the dimensions of the pattern you used?
Uhhhhhhh, I don't know... its just the patterns peice from the shirt I was making. You can practice with any size really, but its probably about 3.5"x5.5"? Sorry if that isn't helpful, but I appreciate you watching!
When you press it how hot is your iron?
Where can I find the pattern? Thanks!!
How d y urn the fold s straight?
That’s kind of awesome but I’m trying to sew it on to an actual shirt and that’s a bitch to put into my sewing machine. Any suggestions
