Step-by-step guide on how to sew two pockets in one
On jackets and vests, two pockets that visually look like a single unit look very neat and nice. But sewing such a double pocket is not as difficult as it seems. In this tutorial, a vest was sewn for a child 122 cm tall, so the pockets
Main Steps
Step 1
On jackets and vests, two pockets that visually look like a single unit look very neat and nice. But sewing such a double pocket is not as difficult as it seems.
Step 2
In this tutorial, a vest was sewn for a child 122 cm tall, so the pockets are not wide (4 cm) with a depth of 12 cm. However, everything here is customizable; everything can be changed and adjusted. Cut out the wide welts (2 pcs) 6 cm wide (seam allowances are already included here), 4 narrow welts (4 cm) that will be sewn onto the zipper, and the pocket bag itself.
Step 3
When cutting out the narrow welts, it is important to lay the pattern along the crosswise grain! Fold the welts in half and sew them to the zipper. Place very thin batting against the larger welt and stitch it together with the prepared zipper.
Step 4
Step 5
Place the pocket bag and the large welt with the zipper wrong sides together, as shown in the photo, and stitch.
Step 6
Sew the fleece pocket bag to the assembled pieces. Stitch directly over the previous seam line.
Step 7
Fold the welt in half, leaving a small offset (approximately 1.5–2 cm). Move the fleece pocket bag out of the way so that it is on the opposite side, and topstitch.
Step 8
Here is how it will look from the wrong side.
Step 9
Sew the base of the pocket bag to one half, and stitch the other half strictly along the seam line made on the zipper. This step is already done on the garment front.
Step 10
Cut between the stitched lines and clip the corners.
Step 11
Turn the pocket right side out and stitch the second half of the pocket bag in place.
Step 12
Topstitch along only one side of the zipper.
Step 13
Secure the corners.
Step 14
Stitch the pocket bag halves together, securing the base of the pocket.
Step 15
From the right side, topstitch around the perimeter of the pocket.
Step 16
The pocket is ready. Here is the opening to one, and here is the opening to the other.
