Heyhey,

here is part3 for the welt pockets, if you do want to do welt pockets without flap jump over the next few steps. You can  find the first parts here: part1, part2.

now I pinned the 2 flap parts together

but made the lining part a little smaller, by doing more seam allowance on this part

sewed

and cut the seam allowance at the corners

now turned right side out

and ironed, because I made the lining a tiny bit smaller, it does not show on the pink side, I know its not totally even out on both corners, but since it was just a piece for showing you, I let it slide

now I made sure, the open edge is really parallel to the other side, and cut it a little where it wasn’t

now I placed the flap in the pocket

and pinned it to the seam allowance of the upper strip (light blue)

and sewed, close to the original seam

now I put the flap inside

and sewed the pocket together, this is the part where you need to get back in if you want to do the pocket without a flap

now fold the side over right where the pocket ends

and sew the triangle to the strips

did so on both sides, remember to fold the flap up, so you don’t get stitches in it, like I did 😉

Later today I upload the next steps, so stay tuned. I hope this is helpful for you, let me know if you have any questions about it so far. Or requests for other pockets, collars or such.

keep sewing and smiling

your TailorFairy
