I love pockets. You might have noticed.
I also love words.
I slant in the openings for the side seam pockets (to let the hand find the pocket more easily) and make the pocket bags long so the weight of the pockets hangs from the horizontal seam in the waistband (the top of the pocket catches in that waistband seam).
(this also keeps the sides from floating up.)
For the kids pants (the ones they would burn through as toddlers) I made a single layer pocket and topstitch it from the outside to secure it (usually a couple of rows of stitching)
What is this called anyway?
Side seam pocket. With topstitching.
Solved that problem.

I would call that 'extend pocket bag toward the center' to be more precise. And it's a very good thing, if you intend to actually use the pockets. I also make them longer in a different direction, 'deep', so larger stuff fits in and doesn't fall out at the least provocation M-C (google now demands a url with a name, sorry)
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, this made me laugh out loud on a night I needed the laugh. Thank you!
