How to Sew Double Welt Pockets (with Optional Flap!)

This method is my favorite for double welt pockets, whether you plan on adding a flap or not. You will learn a relatively fail-proof technique for getting perfectly parallel welts with additional tips and tricks for sewing double welt pockets. If you need help sewing the flap, which has a built-in turn of cloth, watch my video on the tailored patch pocket. The process is exactly the same: 00:00 ---- Intro, Patterns, Fabrication 11:48 ---- Marking the pocket position 14:06 ---- Begin Construction, applying welts to project/sample 17:46 ---- Cutting the pocket opening 23:41 ---- Pressing the welts before turning 24:42 ---- Using a clapper for the pocket opening seam allowance 25:31 ---- Positioning the welts 28:20 ---- Basting the welts in place 29:09 ---- Stitching / securing the triangles 30:44 ---- Stitching / securing the top & bottom seam allowances 33:20 ---- Pocket Bag Lining 35:52 ---- Pocket Flap 37:5
