How to: self faced pocket

Here's a step by step guide on how I made a self-faced line patched pocket.


  • Cut out the pattern for the self-faced lined patched pocket.
  • Cut out the lining of the pocket.
  • Sew the fabrics together from the notch across for both sides with 1.5 cm seam allowance.
  • Press the seam open.
  • Match the fabrics together.
  • Sew the sides together with 1.5 cm seam allowance.
  • Trim the edges in half.
  • Bag it out.
  • Sew the opening together as close as possible. (If it was made for the couture standard it would be sewn by hand however this is made for the high-street, this way it would save time and money.)
  • Sew the finished self-faced pocket on a square fabric close to the edge. Sew another topstitch next to the first one but the distance should be the same all the way around.


Hope you all like it. See you on my next post! ^_^
