The pocket in the front is ready. I started with Ann's instructions for the Vogue pants. But somewhere I was lost (the reason is most probably me, not the instructions by Ann), and I went on following my own sewing sense. When I was ready I was not satisfied by the result. Uneven and the topstitching in one corner was 1 stitch off.
Time for the seam ripper, I'm not one for sewing without mistakes. And I couldn't let go of this and go on.
So, an hour later, this is the pocket. It's in the same location as the first one, I unpicked all. This is how it should be, I'm satisfied with the result, so I basted it in place for further construction.
I used lightweight fusible interfacing where the welt is sewn. And because I cut the welt on the bias, I interfaced the welt to prevent stretching.
Great looking pocket.
ReplyDeleteMuch better! The time spent ripping and remaking was well spent. The second pocket looks as good or better than RTW. I wouldn't have been able to leave the first version, either.
ReplyDeleteA woman after my own heart:)) Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteYour perfectionism and patience really paid off. The pocket looks great.
ReplyDeleteYup, I would have had to rip it out too. The second one looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooking great!
