- In this video I share how I made a tie on pocket inspired by images from the book The Pocket A Hidden History of Women's Lives by Barbara Burman and Ariane Fennetaux
Here's a link to Marion's tutorial on how she makes a skirt with a split side seam to access her own tie on pocket

Kathryn I bet when your Dad wore his pyjamas, he never imagined for a moment that people all over the world were going to see parts of them one day. The thought tickled my fancy.
He would have found it amusing indeed 😁♥️
I like this idea for when I’m walking the dog and not wearing pockets! The little bottle of water,the poo bags, the treats and the phone and keys, should be perfect. 😊❤
It reminds me of the poem, Dangerous Coats:
Dangerous Coats
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition
Sharon Owens
😊 Let's all stitch our own pockets, and fill them with sedition! Thanks for this lovely video, Katherine x
My pleasure and yes that is a great poem ♥️
I’m definitely going to prioritize making the pocket. I am forevermore dropping my phone as I work!
That was my first thoughts as well. I have dropped and sat on my phone so many times the screen is cracked so badly it's hard to read the screen. Will be such a fun project ! ! Thanks Katherine ! !
I always wondered how Lucy Locket lost her pocket! Now I know and if I see one in public, I’ll know what they are doing in their spare time. A kindred spirit.
Is Lucy Locket lost her pocket like Wonkey Donkey story ?💚
What a coincidence, when hiking a couple of days ago I was thinking that having some sort of collecting bag would be good. This seems like an artsy, beautiful solution.
The pocket is delightful, I am such a gatherer when I walk, stones, leaves, cones etc, I think I may make myself one ❤
Beautifully made pocket Kathryn. I just love the idea of a little mouse visiting your cosy pocket!
Yes, I love that vision too!
That red binding is perfect.
Love the pocket. So practical, and your directions make it easy peasy. Thank you for another fun project.
A beautiful project - love the history in these and that they are a form of women circumventing the lack of pockets in clothes which remains a bugbear even today. Cheers, Christine
This pocket is beautiful but what I really enjoyed was hearing about how pockets were not put in women's clothing. I never gave it much thought and it's so interesting that of course women figured out how to make that adjustment and add their own pockets! Go women GO! LOL
You might be interested in The Dress Diary by Kate Strasdin. I have it in my Audible cart but have not listened yet. ox
Loving the pocket Kathryn, reminded me of the nursery rhyme Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket. I bet you know how the rhyme goes. Keep the videos coming Kathryn love everything about how you present, great chat like being with an old friend now. x 💐
Being a child of the modern era, that rhyme always confused me. I couldn't figure out how someone could lose a pocket. Thanks to Kathryn, and your gentle reminder of the verse, now I know! Thanks for bringing it up!
I hate clothes without pockets. I bought several clinical scrubs tops for that very reason. Great solution, thank you for your video. ❤❤❤ still not skipping.
The little mouse bit! 😆😂❤️
Lovely, I was about to mention Marian and her pocket but you did so just before the end. Your work is fab, very clever.
Absolutely brilliant, I am going to make one for me to carry my diabetic items with me & my housewife. Thank you, for showing it’s possible to make. 😻🌻🌷
OMG! I just bought this book a couple of weeks ago
My pleasure 😊
This is a great idea for a friend's birthday. She dresses in period clothing for different events.
Love the patchwork front and the stitching for this … Will be perfect for walks through the woods, or along the beach.
I love your modern interpretation of this historical pocket and yes i do need one because i wear skirts year round with no pockets. Even for having a phone and reading glasses in immediate reach instead of searching everywhere for them.
Oh wow - I cannot wait to watch this one - the 18th century is my favorite and my husband have been reenactors for this period. I have always loved these pockets.
This was a great video. I do love your pocket - it came out so cute - even the gap of the opening. Very neat & tidy❤️❤️
I made little pockets with a strap to go over my shoulder for my telephone but they are annoying when working outside in the garden. I had been trying to work out in my head how to do this when you mentioned the book and making a pocket. I'm glad I waited! This looks like something can do, Thanks again for the inspiration to start!
Wonderful pocket, just added it to my "To Do list". Great tutorial.🙃
Thank you. I have 2 pair of work pants that do not have a pocket. Now I know how to add a pocket for my phone and keys.
What a wonderful pocket and commentary too. I love the history of our ladies of olden days. Thanks for all the information with your tutorials. You are a wonderful librarian. I might be starting a new job and may need a place for gloves and my phone. I will have to look for some sturdy material, maybe some upholstery material or some canvas I have stashed. I love your patchwork too. Keep up the wonderful stitching.
I was thinking.if doggy walking supplies too. My mother who was in her 90's always liked pockets on everythingfor tissues, etc. She would have loved this idea. It's very neat and looks finished off with the bias binding. I didn't even know how to attach this properly as I've not a dressmaker either. 😊 thanks for showing us how to do it.
My pleasure, it would be great for doggy walking supplies 😁❤️
I absolutely need to make a couple of these! One for the farm (for seeds, goat treats, etc.) and one to use out in the world. Thank you! ❤
Oh you have goats, I love them, never met a goat I didn't like. Please give yours a treat from me. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales Yes, I have nine currently. They're the sweetest. I'll give each of them a treat for you this morning. x
Oh I love it! Useful and beautiful... I have outfits that I choose not to wear because there's no pocket.
I think this will turn into Biscornu Mark 2 - neutral pockets, matching pockets, gardening/cleaning/dog walking/gift pockets etc. It's a shame you can't patent this - you would be rich!
I hope that someone who's good at embroidery makes one with a mouse peering out of the pocket, holding a clipboard with a pencil behind his ear.
Mary x
Am chuckling at the mouse idea. 😂 Have fun making your pockets. Much love Mary ❤️
Beautiful as usual and very clear instructions! Another item to add to my ever growing list of things I want to make. 😂
It’s lovely Kathryn. 🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Fun to make. 😊. Perfect for a walk. 💖. Thank you. 💖💖
What a beautiful piece of stitched work... X
Love love love your patchwork & stitching.
Have been meaning to make a pocket for a couple of years now, and you've just shown me how easy it will be. Thank-you for another delightful video.
How lovely ❤
It's great to make nice things for daily use 😊
Lovely pocket and it looks great on black clothing. I think it has all the qualities to became a new fashion hit!😀💖🍀
My husband & I are nonfashionable (afashionable?) people who have used fanny packs for most of our adult lives. Alternatively, I have a small (about 7" square) cross body bag made with RFI fabric in the middle layer that I either have slung across my body or in a back pack. I love having my hands free and I hate lugging a traditional purse. I might try making this with a gusset, so it's more roomy, but I think at heart, the fanny pack evolved from this waist pocket idea. I have one traditional navy blue handbag I've had for 40 years and use when I have to look proper for a formal occasion otw it's a modern pocket fanny pack! Thanks k3n!
My pleasure Amy, perhaps a good term is 'always fashionable ' as you are so comfortable with your own sense of fashion that you have no need to change 😁❤️
Ooo pocket possibilities. I’m thinking of making one with a zip for the slit and a casing across the top. Yours with its collage work and red binding will be visible in the wood like hunters’ blaze orange. So pretty Kathryn. xo
What a gorgeous little project 😊 thank you again K3n - warm wishes Rhonda x
Oooooo love this … another idea is for those who cruise … great for around the ship for your phone or Kleenex or sunglasses …. Possibilities are endless once again !!!!
This looks really good. A good friend made me a pocket to put the phone in when I am outside in the garden. Good for audio books so i never get out of the EarPod range. . She was inspired by a historical article in her home country Hungary.
This looks like a fun make. I've got the song A windmill in old Amsterdam stuck in my head! I saw a mouse, where, there on the stair.... 😂
Hello K3n! I’ve just been reading The Pocket this week and designing a pocket in my head to make when I finish the book. Not surprisingly, you’ve already made one and shown us how, so my task just got a bit easier. Thank you for your wonderful (and timely) videos. It is hard to find stitching kindred spirits in my part of the world, and I so enjoy the time I spend stitching with you.
Hello, happy to help, have fun making your pocket 😊
I adore your pocket! I've been seeing these around, and I've half-way intended to make one, but I think you've pushed me right over the edge! lol The book looks intriguing. I've never made a bottom garment for myself that didn't have pockets.
Ooooo … I was thinking for those who cruise … great way to carry around your phone or Kleenex or cards etc … possibilities are endless
Love the pocket. I think it would be useful in a number instances. A walk for sure and also when working in the garden. TFS
Well done! It's much too pretty to wear on the inside. My colour loving self was very pleased that you used the red binding tape and some brightly coloured fabrics in your design. Do let us know how you like using it. 😄❤
I have worn it on a walk in the woods, it is lovely. Just had my phone in it in case I wanted to take any photos, it seemed secure. ❤️
It's lovely, Kathryn! I'm definitely going to make one. I'm gonna!😊
Its beautiful. Looks to me like a very interesting book.
Love your pocket! During the pandemic when I would have to go out to buy groceries I felt so frustrated by all the extra gear I needed plus the worry of purse snatching. I took to leaving my purse at home and instead wearing an apron I had with a big front pocket. I put aside the feeling that I probably looked goofy and just relished the idea of having everything handy and safely in front of me.
I also love wearing aprons, for the pockets. ❤️
I’m reading the Pocket book too: it’s fascinating and well-researched. I might venture making a ‘bra pocket’ such as worn by shady ladies... That’ll shock ‘em in Waitrose when I go to pay.
Lovely pocket, Kathryn. Thank you.
😂 I love the idea of you paying in Waitrose from your bra pocket. 😉♥️
This is wonderful ❤️ I have been wanting to make this. Thank you for sharing. Very professional...looks beautiful.
This “tie on pocket” reminders me of the apron with a hole my mother & grandmother used for clothes pegs when the hung out wash.
I have a similar peg bag I made ages ago, I have to make a new one as it's got a big hole in it. Or mend it. 😁❤️
Lovely idea, thanks for the tutorial.
Hi k3n what a beautiful pocket !!!
Followed you religiously apart from all hand stitching. (Sewing machine )playing up. I used material and just reaching the last part sewing top and adding ties. Photo to follow.
I really like this pocket .... and the idea of the little mouse inside the pocket inspecting our sewing 🐭
Oh that little mouse is so judgy 😁❤️
I had made one of these a few years back. I really like how yours turned out! The top fabric and stitching really added something special. What I didn’t enjoy as much which I saw you with the same issue is the center slit for the hand hole it’s kinda awkward to slide hand in and to reach the back side of the picket without contorting your arm. I’m gonna try your style scrap fabric and make my slit from the bottom of the 6” point to the outer edge where the tie begins so that the hand has a comfortable slide in and out and is able to reach anything comfortably witching the picket, kinda like any other side pocket in skirts pants etc. Hope it looks good that way too!
That's a good idea, it is a little awkward but I think I just need to get used to it. Let me know how yours turns out. ♥️
This is so beautiful! I want to make it!! It wil go nice with the skirt from Marion!! Thank you k3n!!
Liefs, Helene
My pleasure Helene 😊
Love your pocket ❣️
Your pocket looks wonderful, I am going to make one too. It will be great for around the house because as the person below me said, my phone always drops on the floor or I am leaving in another room and I have run for it, well walk fast. LOL Thank you
My pleasure. I am already using mine and it's brilliant. ❤️
Kathryn what a cute and beautiful pocket! I loved watching you. I would try it but my eyesight is failing me. ❣️
I have this book too! I will make a similar pocket soon
I wondered when you mentioned you’d bought that book (which I have) whether we would get a video on making one!🤔😁 So pleased to see one.
Oh just what I need to carry my small garden tools, thank you!
I love the inspector mouse! I’m reading the book, it’s very interesting! Thank you for the pattern and video❤
I love it 👏 Thank you :) xx
Marion makes tie pockets for under her skirts. That's the first time I heard of them but didn't know the history.
Yes she does, I mentioned her towards the end and linked her video in the description. ♥️
Very nice 😊 reminds a bit about the waist bags that were so popular during 1990-s. I myself wear mostly dresses and most often they don’t have any pockets so maybe I’ll give it a try 🥰
Absolutely wonderful Kathryn! I’ve been eyeing that book for years, but just have never squeezed it in. I love the pocket you made. Thanks for showing us the whole process. Hope it gets filled with lots of wonderful treasures!
Thank you Tracy, it will probably get filled with what I consider treasure (random bits of stuff I pick up from the ground) one woman's trash is another woman's treasure, right 😁❤️
Oooo, I like this. They could be made and attached to the inside (at the waist line) of dresses we already have then just open up the side seam and tack it down. Hmmmmmmm, lots or retrofitting about to happen.
Love the pocket Kathryn! You are so clever. You inspire me to want to make one straight away and I’ve only just woken up!! I love the book too. There’s so little out there about everyday women’s history, so I’ve bought the book also! Thanks for all you involve us in; much appreciated.
Thank you Ellen ♥️
Love it. Added to my ever-increasing list of things to sew!!! Actually, this one may leapfrog a few of the others. Thank you, and thanks again ❤🙏
❤ благодарю за прекрасную идею и работу. Деталь так гармонирует с вашей внутренней природой.
Your video was very informative and useful. Thank you very much regards Marg.❤
Marions from Marion's world has this pocket. She had shown it in her skirt making video that she has worn under all her non pocket skirts, she made hers too, I think a long time ago? this looks very simular, I wonder if she has this book🤔 I had never seen one before, and now you are making one too, maybe It'll set off a new trend and people will start wearing them on the outside hehe, thanks for the pattern, I look forward to seeing how yours turns out, you make me smile and I find myself answering you in your videos so chatty and enjoyable to watch. 😊 🌾🌈🤗
Thank you, I saw Marion's too, I don't know if she has the book, I think she has had her pocket for ages. We do chat with each other now and then as we share many viewers and I checked with her that she didn't mind me making this video. 😉 I think it's such a practical and beautiful item, they deserve a comeback. ❤️
@k3n.clothtales Yes, she mentions you in her videos and her in yours , I noticed 😊 there are a lot of slow stitches on here now, and I see some projects taking off, no one is exactly the same in their crafting style, and its cool to see how different every ones things turn out, even though they may start with the same pattern, I have just finished my second rice bag, and am so pleased with them both, each so different from the other. Hehe. I really enjoy crafting along with you. As I said, you make me laugh and agree with the things you come out with. 😅 Thank you for your reply, Katherine 😊🌈🌾🥰
Wow, Kathryn, you’d be an excellent model for a fashion show! Your pocket stands out in your black clothes and we see it perfectly! It’s so beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t like to wear trousers, I like to wear skirts and dresses and, of course, they have no pockets (I only have one that has them!), so this is a great idea. Now, beware of the mice 🐭😆🩵💛💚🩷🤎❤️💛💙💜🤍🧡
Those mice are so judgy 😂♥️♥️♥️
@@k3n.clothtales 😂🐭😂🐭😂🐭
I enjoyed this so much! Thank you 😊
I do have that book as well, I’m slowly reading it when I have the chance. It makes me feel connected to all the women of the past.
Great job from California!
Thank you, I agree about the feeling of connection, although the times were different, I find myself relating to the lives of the women. ❤️
That’s lovely! Brings to mind Sharon Owen’s poem called Dangerous Coats……
J'aime the surface done in Kawandi. I would love this pocket to wear, especially with jeans. May experiment with placement of the opening, more towards the back, or on the diagonal with extra stabilizing stitching...will see. Thank you for this beautiful variation.
My pleasure Ann 😊
Wonderful video. Love your pocket! Thank you for sharing. I will be making one.
Justement j'avais vu la vidéo de Marion. J'ai adoré son idée de faire une grande poche de cette façon, tellement originale. Je me suis dit que cette poche ne pouvait que te plaires, en espérant une video explicative. Et de fait, tu l'as fait. Je te remercie beaucoup, tu nous expliques bien comment faire cette magnifique poche. J'ai hâte de me promener avec des choses dedans!! Merci K3n ❤❤❤❤
Bonjour Akina, oui j'ai parlé avec Marion car j'avais l'idée de faire un tuto quand j'ai acheté le livre puis j'ai vu son video. Elle etait d'accord que je le ferai. ❤️
❤very cool ❤
Love the pocket!!!
Love it Kathryn ❤❤
Well, that was another fun one!
Wonderful! Thank you for this tutorial!
Beautiful
Love this practical project, so pretty too! Thank you💗
🌸tess
Très original et utile. Bravo 😊
Very cool. Like a home style Fanny pack only gorgeous!
Beutiful 😍😍😍😍
I just found this video... I'm sure I have the right scraps for this pocket project... besides I need a new pocket for faire in june.
Thanks
Thank you so much 😊
Hi I found a pattern on Pinterest from the V &A website on how to make a pocket
❤
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I enjoy your videos. I was surprised you don't use a slow stitch book mark.......🙃
I have a few, they're all in other books 😁
wonderful. I hear a story developing of The Wonky Donkey teaching the Super finickity mouse 🤣
😂♥️
Hope the critical mouse doesnt leave bugle in your pocket! 😆
😂♥️
