I have never thought of doing a pocket sewn into the side seam of a garment until the other day. Now that I think about it it was something that I considered to be too hard and fiddly but after having watched a few you-tube videos on how it is done today was the day to have a go. I have to say that my fears were soon dispelled and it was quite quick in relation to making patch pockets.
Here is the pocket as seen from the inside of the dress. I did overlock the pocket before attaching it to the dress and then did a row of stitching just inside the overlocking to give it extra strength.
And here it is seen from the right side...….you can just see the opening if you look hard.
I have to say that I impressed myself with the result and a pocket in the side seam will be an addition to all garments from now on.
I am off to sew more pockets….back soon and in the meantime
Happy
sewing all
