Kathleen- Awesome tutorial! I was wondering if you had any tips or hidden tutorial on the easiest application for a bag for this pocket?

See the previous pocket welt tutorials as I mentioned at the opening of the post in the second paragraph, specifically:

For flawless results that even the greenest of sewing operators can accomplish, see -in order- Welt and paper jig (pattern piece) and Welt pocket construction. To get an introduction to basic concepts, it wouldn’t hurt to read those before reading this one.

This is very understnadable. One question, what is the second underwelt? If this is part of the inner pocket, at what point does the welt edge connect with the outer “fashion fabric” welt?

Thank you so much for the tutorial. The one for the double welt pocket was also really great!! I am confused about the underwelt though. How is that attached to the pocket and pouch?

Thank you so much for the tip I can do welt pocksts but a void them at all cost becasue they look so uneven the pressing looks like a great way to make them flat will be trying them again soon.

I am just learning about Fashion- Incubator looks like a great resource tool.

Thank you for the heads up on *not* trimming away the sides. I’ve done this before, due to poor information.

Happy new year Kathleen!
And also a big thank you for this wonderful blog and all your amazing contributions!

Oh thank you! I have some sewing time coming up and this will make a nice finish to a pair of pants that have been sitting & waiting for me for several weeks now.
And thank you for all the great information all year long!
OK, back to the Christmas mayhem downstairs….
