Learn how-to add in seam pockets in #TechniqueTuesday with An from Straight Grain and then make her super simple skirt with lining.
-
Step 3
Place one of the pocket pieces on the front panel of the skirt or dress with right sides together. Make sure not to place the pocket piece too high (keep the seam allowance at the waist in mind if you are making a skirt, for instance).
Stitch the pocket in place with a 0.7 cm (1/4”) seam allowance. -
Step 7
Put the front and back pieces with right sides together, matching up the pocket pieces. Pin along the side edges of the dress and around the edge of the pocket pieces. Stitch along the side side seam, around the pocket, and again down the side seam. At the top and bottom of the pocket, backstitch twice to give
extra strength.
