No, I was right, welt pockets suck

I followed the directions very carefully, too! Grumble. These pockets are total dogshit, man. Unacceptable for a garment to be worn in public! Will have to try Take Two on Monday since I'm busy most of tomorrow.



The face fabric ends up an inch shorter than the interlining with that bubble! That's...not gonna fly here. Especially as I'm now supposed to baste them together at the next step. Hahaha but...they don't match any more.


My Couture Sewing Techniques book has the steps to make this kind of pocket in a different order than the steps in the pattern, so I'll have to try that next, because NOPE NOPE NOPE.

UGH! SO frustrating! I hope that Take 2 is much more successful!

The Claire Schaeffer book? I have that one too and am going to use it to construct my blazer. I was considering welt pockets for that, but got scared and decided on patch ones instead.

Thank you! It's a great book, every time I look through it I'm determined to sew much more neatly (and then I actually start sewing and get far too lazy to baste everything, ahem)! Good move on the patch pockets...welt pockets are probably okay with more practice, but UGH.
