Hello everyone,

Good morning to you all. Today I will be sharing with you how I fixed a suit side pocket, it's simple, you can also give it a trial. It's important to always make every part of any clothes neat and good looking that's why I take my time to join together each part of every clothes I'm making. Most especially while making a suit. You wouldn't want something as a pocket spoil the final look of the outfit. Therefore in this post I'd be showing us how I make a suit pocket.

Materials used

  • Piece of fabrics (the very suit pieces)
  • Hairstay
  • Thread
  • Linen

Cutting process

  • The normal measurements for suit pocket is 6.5 inches by 2 inches but in cutting your fabrics for pocket you add some allowances, so I decided to cut the fabrics 8 inches by 4 inches. Then extra 2 pieces of fabrics of 9 inches by 2 inches.

  • After cutting these out you also cut the linen to turn it with.

  • Thereafter you apply hairspray on the fabrics then draw out how to want the pocket to look like and you sew following the line you drew.

  • Mark the pocket size (6.5 inches) on the front part of the suit, place the pocket leave, facing the upper body of the suit and sew, and also the tiny fabrics immediately under it leaving a quarter inch below and sew.
