Welt pockets can be a bit intimidating at first, but as Susan Khalje demonstrates, they're really not much more difficult than any other type of pocket. Just take a little more care in measuring and marking, and you'll soon be a welt expert! Materials:
2 yards linen for skirt
1/8 yard contrast linen for welts
1/8 yard fusible interfacing
1/4 yard lining for pockets
7" zipper
McCall's pattern
Sewing notions: scissors, thread, hand-sewing needles, pins, etc. Steps: - Begin by reinforcing the wrong side of the welt area with fusible interfacing. Mark the pocket placement on the interfacing (figure A).
- To make the welt, sew the sides of the welt. Trim, turn and press. Machine-baste along the stitching line.
- Stitch the welt to the bottom line of the marked pocket. The welt should point down, and the raw edge will point to the waistband (figure B).
- Place the pocketing over the welt on the right side of the fabric (figure C). Stitch through all layers along the original marked pocket line.
- Using small, sharp scissors, carefully cut the pocket open, clipping to a V shape at the corners.
- Turn the pocket to the inside of the skirt and press. Stitch and serge around the pocket bag (figure D).
- On the right side, press welt up in place and topstitch the sides of the welt to the skirt. Press.
