Karina, I just came back to this video, as I am planning on exactly this kind of pockets with French seams. I watched this some years ago, but it is always good to refresh my memory. And Bravo to you for adding the right words to your titles, it is very easy to find the correct video just by searching on YT. Thanks a lot for your work. 🎉
That was so simple. But I could not have figured it out, my brain won’t work like this. I watched a video about the same thing recently but it was much more complicated. Best wishes.
I think this is a great tutorial. I want to sew little girls dresses with pockets and always do French seams so that nothing irritates. Never thought of doing this. 👍👍
I just followed your video with my Tempo Sundress. I did Princess Seams at the top (loved these even though I have small busts) and the pocket and French Seams on the skirt are just wonderful. Never again will I sew in seam pockets any other way…. Love, love. I have been sewing for many years and find your videos inspirational. Thank you, Karina!!!
Hoooooo YES ! !!!!! That was very helpfull. Thank you sooooooo much. I was looking for this method for a wild because, when I stay in Africa I have no surger and I didn't know how to sew nice pockets with french seams. I looked everywhere and. .........YOU did it 😀. 👍💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you, this video it is so helpful. I've only recently discovered your channel. You have a great way of explaining techniques and are relatable to all sewists
I love that you take a wonderfully drafted pattern and show us how to take it one step further to be beautiful on the both the inside and outside. I know not everyone one finds this necessary, important or perhaps just doesn’t have the time. But for anyone on a sewing journey that wants to take their sewing up a notch I can always rely on your expertise to help me along. A sincere, Thank you!❤️
I was just wondering how this is done as I have a cotton dress from early '60s with this treatment. It has endured all these years of wearing and laundering. I will do this! Superior and time tested method! Thank you!
I forgot to mention that i am "harvesting" pockets from a faded pair of linen pants to put on a tunic, and I also had the little horizontal snips after removing the pockets. Your interfacing pieces behind the little snips is a great tip, as I encounter that problem more often than one might expect, haha.
What a great tutorial!! Thank you so much!! I have used your tips and instructions and they make sewing “SEW” much easier!! You are a wonderful seamstress ❤️
Greetings & question must a strip of interfacing be used always to created inseam pockets or can the pocket be sewn without the strip of interfacing? ....&...Please do a complete tutorial on how to sew a little girls dress with french seams & pockets.
You can sew the pockets without the interfacing but you risk the opening saging and stretching out over time. I show good techniques in my videos without shortcuts because I want my clothes to last and look good. As for your request: I don’t take video requests and I’m especially not going to sew a little girl’s dress because I don’t have a little girl to sew for. What I’ve shown here is exactly the same you’d do for a little girls dress, just smaller.
Hi there, thank you for this tutorial, I had been struggling with the “classical” French seams pocket technique. I’ve just tested it on a shirt dress, and I must have missed something: there is still a raw edge where the lining of the pocket and the front piece of the garment are sewn together. What am I doing wrong?
I don’t know what step you might have done differently. There definitely is no raw areas in this technique. I suggest practicing with scraps first and repeating the steps.
I had this same issue when I did mine. It's the seam allowance after you clip and fold the little rectangle part over, between the pocket lining and the front skirt piece. What I ended up doing was trimming down that seam allowance and top stitching around it to enclose it, so it won't work if you don't want top-stitching. Otherwise, you could do a flat felled seam against the pocket lining so it doesn't show on the front piece. I couldn't figure out when this little bit was addressed in the video, but it's a really wonderful tutorial otherwise, and I'm here referencing it again for my next dress.

If I could give this more than one thumbs up I would. Very clear tutorial showing every stage. Thank you so much
Nice. I do like pockets. It gives the pants, shorts, dress, or skirt a relaxed or dressy style..

Hi Karina, here I am visiting your same tutorial again! You are such a good teacher! I love this video because my pockets look gorgeous!! Thank you.

My goodness!! I wouldn't be able to figure out this myself !! Thank you so much
Super nice technique I will use on my soft pants! Your dress is beautiful. Thank you so much.
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you for doing a video with the understitching.
Thank you, this video it is so helpful. I've only recently discovered your channel. You have a great way of explaining techniques and are relatable to all sewists
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for the great tutorial. 🙏🏻❤️👍👍👍
Wonderful technique shown so skillfully.
This was fantastic; I used this tip and it was spot-on, easy to follow and produced beautiful inseam pockets on a jacket I was making. BRAVO!
Wonderful! So happy for you.
Very impressive as always. Thanks Karina

I’m so glad my videos have been helpful. I see sewing like a type of fun art and do my best :)
One of the reasons I sew is because I want higher quality than RTW. It’s worth taking the effort.
I just tried this today in a skirt and I caught the pocket a bit but it was easy enough to fix and now it looks beautiful! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
thanks for posting! this is also my faborite method for side seam pockets. i always enjoy your take on tedhniques.
French seams on all the things! It's my favorite method of finishing seams in most lightweight wovens.
Thank you for sharing 😍🦋
What great tips! You can't even see them!
I had never seen pockets sewn this way, but they are so much neater than the usual way of putting in a pocket. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Nice and neat! Love it!😊❤👍
Beautiful. Thank you.
Love, love love your method!!
I love pockets! And have done french seam pockets. Never like this tho. Your method of doing inseam pockets is lovely and takes it up a big notch.
You astound me. This is amazing. Thank you for teaching i learn so much.
I’m glad this is helpful 😀
Beautiful clean method. Thank you!
Super neat pockets, fabulous, thank you for a great tutorial.
I’m glad you liked the video 😀

Thank you Karina for your knowledge of sewing that you use to inspire others. Great tutorial. 🥰
Beautiful technique. Thank you for showing me how to make this kind of pocket.
Looking forward to see the rest of that dress - very clever pockets - love the nice finishes:-)

that looks beautiful. I don't like pockets either, but I LOVE this one!!
Love this, thank you for sharing

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you for responding & will incorporate interfacing.
This is how I do my pockets,but never thought to do the French seams. Thank you so much.

Now I have no excuse not to french seam. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you so much.
