Embossed pocket with flap

Vera Olkhovskaya

The biggest difficulty for beginner couturiers is the processing of pockets.

The embossed pocket is one of the simplest and is suitable for those who want to sew a coat at home.

Only one rule should be observed: both pockets are performed in parallel. Details are cut out for both pockets, two flaps are made ... etc.

Materials for the pocket and the procedure for making leaflets

For this pocket, in addition to a shelf with a relief, you will need

2 rectangular blanks for the fly (length 17 - 20 cm, width 5 - 6, this is taking into account processing allowances),

4 dubbing parts for a fly (15-17 cm long, 3,5-5 cm wide, cut out without seam allowances),

4 pieces of burlap can also be cut rectangular and rounded later (25 - 28 cm by 20 - 24 - this is with allowances for seams and lining).

The sequence for processing a pocket in a coat with reliefs is as follows.

We start with the manufacture of a fly (Fig. 1).

rectangleTwo identical parts of the dubbing are glued on the blanks of the appropriate size, congruent to the leaflet in finished form, while the distance between them should be 0,3 cm.

The ends of the leaves are turned, the part is turned inside out, swept out, ironed.

Finally, finishing lines are laid.

It is better to start marking the pocket when the leaves are ready.

Pocket marking and sewing

To do this, simply attach them to the coat.

In models using classic solutions, pockets are located 5-7 cm below the waist level.

Notches are placed on the parts at the location of the pocket (Fig. 2).

Between the notches on the middle part of the shelf, the finished leaflet is placed face to face and stitched.

Notch length and seam width - 1 cm.

Reliable bartacks at the beginning and at the end of the line are required.

Then, on both parts of the shelf "on the face" between the notches, the details of the burlap are superimposed and stitched (Fig. 3).

After that, the burlap is folded over and the seams are ironed. If the fabrics are loose, the seams should be overcast.

If necessary, additional fixing or finishing lines are laid.

Then the relief is processed - the seam is ground and ironed out.

Properly executed notches will not prevent you from doing this.

Finally, the details of the burlap are ground together with two lines, adjusted to the desired shape.

And the edge of the burlap is overcast or edged for strength.

So that the burlap does not sag, it can be attached to a strip of fabric to the edge of the pick, but this should not be done now, but immediately before fixing the pick.
