How to: front hip pocket.

On Friday I learnt how to make a front hip pocket for a trouser. Here is the step by step guide and images that I have taken while making the pocket.

1. Cut out all patterns pieces, front trouser x1, back trouser x1, pocket facing x1, pocket x1 and interfacing.

2. Iron on the interfacing on the front trouser.

3. Place the pocket facing underneath the front trouser and sew together with 1.5cm seam allowance.

4. Snip along the curve and trim in half.

5. Attach a retaining row on the pocket facing and press.

6. Take the pocket and attach to the pocket facing with 1.5cm seam allowance.

7. Bias bind the edge but first trim off 0.5cm off the seam allowance.

8. Cut out a bias grain fabric and bias bind the edge of the pocket.

9. sew the top and side close to the edge to hold the fabrics together.

10. Sew the front and Back trousers together, right sides together with 1.5cm seam allowance. Then overlock the edges.

Here is the finish sample.

Thanks for reading. I'll see you again on my next blog post. ^_^
