We will explain how to make side pockets, which are often used for pants and skirts, along with photos.

Creating a slanted pocket from the side line.

First, put stay tape on the pocket openings of the front and back pants to prevent the pocket openings from stretching out.

After applying stay tape, iron the pocket opening and fold up 1 cm.

Next, iron up the seam allowance on the side of the "Pocket Piece".

The right and left pocket openings of the front pants and the sides of the left and right "pocket pieces" have been ironed up.

Sew the "Pocket facing" and "Pocket Piece" together right side together, and sew the red dotted line.

1 cm(0.5inch) seam allowance, and backstitch at the beginning and the end of sewing.

Serge/overlock the dotted line after sewing them together.

The left and right pockets are ready. Sew these to the right and left sides of the pants.

Fasten the red dotted line (pocket opening) with a marking pin.

Fasten the marking pin by shifting it 1 to 1.5 mm so that it is not visible from the front side of the front pants.

Leave 1 cm(0.5inch) at the sides of the created pockets for sewing.

Sew the red dotted line with a sewing machine.

Make sure to reverse stitch at the beginning and end of the sewing process!

After sewing the left and right pocket bags together, sew the sides together.

After sewing the sides and dividing the seam allowance with an iron, strengthen the end of the pocket opening sewing.

Reverse stitch is also acceptable, but bar tack stich is sturdier.

It is easier to sew on the belt if the pocket you made is temporarily sewn at the waist.
