x 16&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>one rectangle of 8&#8243; x 15&#8243; (20cm x 38cm) for pocket bag<\/li>\n<li>one rectangle that is at least 7&#8243; x 7&#8243; of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/fusible_interfacing\" title=\"Fusible Interfacing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">fusible interfacing<\/a> suitable for the thickness of the fabric you are using<\/li>\n<li>thread<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hDTZtZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sewing ruler<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hDSADT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tailor's chalk<\/a> or erasable pen. \u00a0(Read our full post on <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/fabric-marking-frixion-pens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">erasable Frixion pens<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: \u00a0I am not teaching you how to draft or design a double welt pocket with flap. \u00a0I am showing you the technique on how to construct it. \u00a0The dimensions of a pocket depend upon the symmetry and balance of your design.<\/p>\n<h2>Step One: \u00a0Sewing the lining to the fashion fabric<\/h2>\n<p>Place your fashion fabric right side down and fuse a rectangle (3&#8243; x 7&#8243;) of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/fusible_interfacing\" title=\"Fusible Interfacing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">fusible interfacing<\/a> where your pocket is to be placed. \u00a0The fashion fabric can only be fused if it does not change the appearance of the fabric as in silks and satins. \u00a0This rectangle needs to be at least 1&#8243; bigger in all sides than the size of your pocket opening. \u00a0Now turn the fashion fabric right side up and mark the placement of the pocket with your pattern if you're using one. \u00a0This is just practice so doesn't really matter where you place the line, however, I have to remind you of this step in case you have done this type of pocket before and you are working directly on a finished garment. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32184 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"double welt pocket with flap\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6603-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;

keeping the centerline aligned. \u00a0Make sure this rectangle is absolutely flawless. \u00a0You will stitch following this drawing, so it needs to be perfect. \u00a0I am using black thread so it shows better in the picture, but you will match the thread as close as possible to the fashion fabric and the lining.<\/p>\n<p>Change your machine stitch size to 1.5 and no bigger than 2.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32185 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"double welt pocket with flap\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_6608-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;

is the average measurement for a finished flap.<\/p>\n<p>The flap pattern will already come with the coat of jacket pattern you are using, but if you want to add piping to it, the key factor is to measure the opening you already have. \u00a0Measure the width of your piping. \u00a0My piping is 1\/8&#8243; meaning\u00a0that 1\/4&#8243; of my pocket will be taken by the piping. \u00a0Measure the pocket opening minus the 1\/4&#8243; for piping= flap width. \u00a0Draw the flap. \u00a0Your flap can have crisp or rounded corners. \u00a0It really is up to you.<\/p>\n<p>For a detailed tutorial on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/adding-piping-to-a-flap-or-collar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sew the piping<\/a>\u00a0and make a flap in a super easy way check my last tutorial.<br \/><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Step Five: \u00a0Joining the flap and butterfly together<\/h2>\n<p>Place your fashion fabric with the pocket opening right side up. \u00a0Slide the butterfly making sure the center of the butterfly is in the middle of the rectangle. \u00a0If you are not adding a flap to the pocket, is imperative you align everything as perfectly as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP<\/strong>: To help you align the butterfly to the opening of the pocket, draw a line with an erasable ink pen 1\/4&#8243;
