 I did my holiday dress, the brocade one, vogue something or another, and it had the pocket facing that I showed you all how to do. I will link that video right here. I think it goes. But a lot of you asked in that video in the comments for a tutorial on how to attach the facing to the pocket bag and then the pocket bag to the skirt. After you adjust your teardrop pocket to one that gets sewn into the waistband, how do you attach all of that together? That is what we are going over today. I have done it on my Seamwork Danny skirt. You can see the side seam pocket in there. And so while I was making this, I went ahead and filmed a tutorial for how to attach the pocket facing and then how to attach an inseam pocket that also gets sewn into the waistband. So let's get to the tutorial and I can show you really just how super super simple this is to do. You guys are gonna be like this when you're done. So yeah, let's check out the tutorial. We have four pocket bags all out of lining fabric and then we have two pocket facings made out of the self fabric which for me is a stretch pleather. So we're only gonna be working with one pair of the pockets like so. This is the side seam and this is how the pockets are drafted for the pattern that I was working on. But if your pockets look like a tear drop and don't have this line here, then refer to that pocket tutorial. I'll link it up here to learn how you can get yours to fit into your side seam. Okay, so now we have our pocket facings and again that tutorial will tell you how to make these from your pocket bag piece. I did mine at two and a half inches and we've got a side seam here and a side seam here. So now these are all going to go like this. So if your fabric raffles or unravels, you will need to finish the long edge here by either taking it to your serger or hemming it. However you want to finish this long edge here because basically we are going to just be almost like an applique situation, just placing them on our pocket bags like so and this edge will be visible. My fabric does not unravel at all. So I'm just gonna leave that as a nice clean edge. You'll never see it from the right side. That's kind of like the whole point. So if your fabric is a knit or something synthetic that doesn't unravel, by all means just leave this edge raw. But you are gonna go to your sewing machine and you are going to edge stitch along this edge here and then baste all of these raw edges. Okay, and this is what your pocket bags are going to look like after you've gotten them top stitched on. And from here out guys, it's really just attaching in seam pockets. So you want to take the back of the right side of your skirt and that is what the right side of the faced pocket bag gets attached to. So take both of them like so. You are gonna stitch along the side seam at one quarter of an inch on both sides here and then you're gonna take the right side of the front of your skirt and that is where the unfaced pocket bags get attached. Again in the one quarter of an inch seam allowance on all four side seams. Alright so you can see here I have my facing pocket bag attached to the back of my skirt and the unfaced pocket bag attached to the right side of the skirt. I'm sorry to the front of the skirt. Now we are gonna attach the skirts together and to do that you are going to stitch around this outer edge of the pocket bag, come in into your skirt's side seam and then stitch all the way down to your hem. And then you're gonna do another stitch by combining the pocket bags at the waist seam and stitching just inside at your 5 eighths inch of a seam allowance. Stitch inside of the skirt down somewhere between one and a half to inches. You just want to make sure you have enough to still get your hand into your pocket bag. So do that for both sides. Okay and once you've got that done you can see your pocket bag is completely attached and you now have a proper side seam at the waistband of your skirt. Now to keep this little guy from flapping around we need to attach it to the waist seam so we are going to turn it toward the front of our skirt and then we're just gonna baste along the waistband edge and I went ahead and did the other side so you can see what that looks like and then when you have your skirt right side out here is and I haven't pressed any of this so here is your side seam something like that with the pockets already open and then when you peek inside you can see the right side of the main fabric is showing there. Oh wait that's the back hold on you can see the facing when you put your hand in to the skirt this is the facing seam here and again I have to press it which takes a little bit of time with this leather but but yeah so you can see you don't see any of the pocket bags they are all tucked in nice and easy and from this point you would continue to construct your dress however the instructions say sometimes you have to go ahead and attach the bodice to the skirt and then attach the lining to that afterwards that's what I'm going to do but the pocket portion is completely done and it's super cute and didn't use up a lot of our main fabric. Alright I told you guys it's super super easy right I am going to be doing this to all of my pockets going forward I don't see any reason to ever have a teardrop pocket I don't see any reason to ever not save fabric like your main fashion fabric is way more expensive than your lining fabric so why not just use a sliver of it for a pocket facing and then use your lining for all the stuff that no one will ever ever see plus you know it feels nice to put your hands in and feel the lining that's usually nice and smooth and I don't know anyway so yeah this is my go to pocket from now until the end of time so I hope that you learned a little bit that you'll try it out on your own and see if it works out for you and all of your future sightseeing pocket garments but that's gonna do it for me today thank you all so much for watching I will see you very soon bye
