That tip about finishing the ends with knots is huge for making things look clean. Thanks so much!

[@oliviaparks1555]

This was fantastic! I got stuck on a pattern and couldn't wrap my head around how to do the top part of the pocket. Great explanation!! Thank you so much!!

[@Saint_Oscar]

Thank you so much! This made my Simplicity pattern make waaaaayyyyy more sense.

[@paulinemcleggan7585]

[@techtinkerin]

Thanks for such a concise explanation. Great tip with the knots! 👍😎

Thank you Judith-just what I needed. Very clear instructions.

Perfect explanation! Great tutorial! Many thanks!

What I want to do is find a jacket that I really like, then add unlimited pockets to the inside. I don't know what I will put in them but it would feel nice have an army of pockets in my jacket.
Of course, it gets better.
There will be a variety of pockets such as big ones, normal ones, and lockable/closable ones.

Great explanation and demo. I like the flare you gave the pocket in the demo. I have seen big floppy pockets on dirndl skirts and wondered how to do them. Now, I'm curious. I'll have to try your system. Thanks for posting.

[@geekgirlgabrielle4751]

Nice explanation. I would like to see a video of a patch pocket like the Chanel style jackets from the beginning. Xox

How would I make a patch pocket double fabric?

[@naomimara3340]

So it's possible to just cut fabric and insert pocket wherever we want? (Like the white shirt you showed)
Please, where can we see how it's done?

[@c_tsu]

what kind of pocket patch is this?

[@sairaali9545]

[@williamdeng7524]

did you topstitch on the top hem? do i topstitch for the other hems too?

[@MohsinKhan-js1kk]

Super

[@RilianSharp]

2:10 why do you do the ¼" fold?

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

So you don't have an exposed fabric edge where your hand goes in and out.

[@williamdeng7524]

my steam iron wont press microfiber, what should i do?

[@sarahjo7837]

Try a hair straightener. That's what I use
