How do I make this Shaped welt pocket
Nancy K Advanced NY USA Member since 12/28/04 Posts: 7634	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/16/08 11:37 AM I have had this picture up on my board for abut a year or more. I love the pocket and I am not sure how to make this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have Sew Any Pocket and nothing seemed appropriate, except maybe magic window, facing it with organza. But, this is not my preferred method of making welt pockets.pocket I am not sure that the pocket is clear. The ends are pointed instead of square. -- Edited on 6/16/08 11:38 AM -- ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

The welts actually come to a point instead of being square, hmm, I dont' think I have seen that before, you have given me something to contemplate. I supose that just angling the stitching towards the point at the end would be too simple, that would complicate things when you turn it to the correct side. ------ http://beccabeckstuff.blogspot.com/ Damn the muslin, full speed ahead!

You sew your welts to the fashion fabric as you would normally do. Then you still slash the fabric in a V but the point of the V should not be towards the center of the welts, like it normally is - like this: > - but towards the ends of the welts - like this: < - <. Then you sew the resulting triangles to the welts. Hope that helps. ------ Sewing blog at http://laurasewingroom.blogspot.com

I was was thinking about this and I think that I will do what Claire Schaeffer calls a 'Porthole Pocket' If I make a template for the pocket for stitching and turn it, clipping the corners and the point I can add strip welts to make the welts and then just sew the pocket bags to them. The opening is edge stitched. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com
