 Bonjour et bienvenue, this is La Modelis and welcome back again to my channel. In today's tutorial, I am going to teach you guys how to create the accordion pocket. And in this tutorial, you are also going to learn how to create the pattern and how to sew the accordion pocket. Anyway, to learn about the techniques, make sure to watch the whole video to see the full creative process. To begin, prepare a 20 by 20 inches paper. Draw a horizontal line at the bottom part of your paper, and square up a vertical line like so. Next from the vertical line, mark out 5 inches for the pocket weave. And square a line, making two parallel lines. Next from the horizontal line, mark up 6 inches for the pocket height. And square a line. Next from each parallel line, mark out 3 inches for the weave of the pleats. And square a line. Next, extend the parallel lines down. And from the horizontal line at parallel lines, mark down 3 inches for the weave of the bottom pleating. And square a line. And on the side pleats, square up a 6 eighths of an inch line for the death of the pleats. And at the bottom, square in a 6 eighths of an inch line for the death of the pleats. Do this on each side. And get the 1 fourth of the death of the pleats and mark. And do the same procedure for the other side. Next, create zigzag lines by connecting the 1 fourth measurements all together. Please follow the procedure below. Next, at the top line, square up a 1 inch line. And square out 4 eighths of an inch of sewing allowance each side. And square out 4 eighths of an inch of sewing allowance at the bottom line. And for the zigzag lines, use 2 eighths of an inch for the sewing allowance. On each pleating side, square up lines from the 1 fourth of the death of the pleat. We will use these lines for the notches. And square up the 4 eighths inch allowance as we will use this for notching. And notch at the angle inside the pocket weave. This will be used as our sewing references later on. And lastly, mark in the half of the pocket weave. For the sake of this tutorial, I used a wool fabric for my pocket. And please don't forget to notch the fold lines for the pleats. And the notches at the pocket weave. And next, cut the pattern out on your chosen fabric. And here are the notches for the pocket. Before sewing, fold the pocket diagonally, right exactly at the pocket weave notch. And we will start sewing the zigzag seams starting from the fold. Sew the zigzag seams according to your sewing allowance which is 2 eighths of an inch. Next clip off the excess sewing allowance at the sharp edges. And clip off the triangular seams but don't clip beyond the stitch line. And do the same procedure for the other side. Next, press the zigzag seams open using a point clapper. Using an awl or something narrow, hope the triangular seams inside out. Next, match the triangular edges with the first notches and fold. And give the folds a press. And press the bottom fold as well. And next, match the triangular edges together. And match the triangular edges with notches 3. And fold and press. And press the bottom fold as well to create the bottom pleating. And lastly, do the same procedure for the last pleat. This time press it at the back. Like with the pattern, mark down 1 inch from the top line. And fold this line inwards and pin in place. And top stitch the top line. Next, top stitch the edges of each pocket fold for a crisp finish. And this is how the pocket looks like with the top stitch lines. At the last pleat, mark in the 4 eighths inch sewing allowance. After that, fold and press the sewing allowance inwards. And this is how the pocket looks like with the sewing allowance, press. Next on my plain fabric, I will place the pocket here. And pin the third pleat and place. And top stitch the pocket onto the fabric. And lastly, I will secure my pocket by sewing a triangular tack stitch. And there you go. So this is my final product. And as you can see, I have achieved my pleating here on the pocket, on the sides, and on the bottom. So beautiful.
