Our double welt pocket has “welts” on both sides of the opening. \u00a0You'll be very familiar with this style of pocket since it is commonly used on men's\u00a0and women's tailored jackets, light weight hoodies, light coats, slacks back pockets or the inside of pockets in the lining of jackets. \u00a0Unfortunately, this technique isn't suitable for very heavy fabrics or situations where you have to match a design such as stripes.<\/p>\n

There are a few ways to make this type of pocket which we'll run through below. \u00a0I've written this up as a mini tutorial and workshop with a practice project on making this sort of pocket. \u00a0The materials and instructions below will guide you through the technique. \u00a0The hope is that you will then be able to integrate these sorts of attractive pockets in your future projects.<\/p>\n
