I have been sewing, crochetting, tatting and doing crafts since I was 9 years old. I have a special room where I do most of my work but I have a tendency to move things about around the house so that there are projects tucked away in almost every room. Doesn't anyone tat anymore? It is a beautiful craft!

Re: How to Make an Inset Pocket

I love pockets, too. When dealing with a purchased garment, it is difficult to find matching material that will not show if the pockets gap when seated in a straight skirt. I use a fine cotton or muslin material for the pocket and take a little of the material from the bottom of the dress or skirt and sew to the side seam edges of the pocket before sewing it into the garment. Fortunately I am short so there is always plenty of material to cut from the hem of the garment for this. I think I will also try the posted method on some of the uniforms I make. Good idea!
