Sewing sports trousers from a footer - a simple pocket "cut-off barrel"

This is probably the easiest and most convenient pocket that you can think of for men's or women's sweatpants, so I once again return to the topic of "barrel cutting" at home.

The proposed technology for sewing sports trousers is "sharpened" to create a heavy-duty and indestructible product, so that men will definitely appreciate your needlework.

In this pocket, I allowed myself to finish the so-called “dovyaz” - knitted fabric “in elastic”, which we so love to use on cuffs and collars in sportswear.

As you can see in photo 1, on my pattern, the front and back halves of the trousers (PP and ZP) are combined along the side seam line. This not only makes it easier for beginner home fashion designers, but also improves the fit of the sweatpants on the figure...

Pocket cutting barrel for beginners

Pattern for the article

The side seam pocket, which is traditionally processed in the side seam, is processed in the side tuck in this model.

You can sew it without finishing with a “tie”, but such an addition will not complicate the work of those who begin learning to cut and sew.

The width of the finishing strip in the cutting is equal to:

2 finished trim widths + 1,5 cm for seams

The width of the finish in finished form is 1,5 - 2 cm. Thus, the width of the finishing strip is 5 - 6 cm.

The length should be a couple of centimeters shorter than the length of the pocket entry line, since the dovyaz must first be slightly stretched with an iron and stretched, stitched to the cut. Otherwise, he will then bulge out.

So, iron the cut-out finishing strip in half in half, while stretching with an iron. Stitch stretching, in a narrow zigzag. The seam width is 0,7 - 1 cm. Such a pocket will never tear!

Then, the burlap-turning is sewn, also in a zigzag. At the seams, it is desirable to make notches and bend them on the wrong side towards the burlap. The seams should be secured with a line, laying it from the side of the burlap (see photo 2) and carefully ironed.

I cut out a burlap piping from a very dense fleece lining. The fleece will be inside the pocket, and the slippery lining side will face the trousers. The burlap of such a pocket will be very easy to straighten.

The burlap-valance detail is placed under the PP (photo 3) and secured with two bartacks. I also made them with a narrow zigzag.

The distance from the cut to the bartack is 1 cm. It is good if the bartack does not fall under the seam of the tuck and belt, but is located very close to the seam. These fasteners will give additional strength to the seams of the product.

Please note: if the bartack gets under the seam, the seam will be subjected to more stress.

When the bartacks are completed, you need to chop off the burlap and ground it so that both parts are congruent in terms of the stitching cut.

It remains to grind the burlap and the tuck, but do not forget to carefully iron the pocket before you start sewing the side tuck, and then the tuck itself.
