[…] This was my first waistcoat, for my son, and I think I made it by drawing around a bought one we had. I googled how to do pockets, and found a tutorial that was really good. I can’t seem to find it now. This wasn’t the one, but looks quite good – https://historicalsewing.com/sewing-single-welt-pockets […]

In reply to Maureeen B. I've not heard of a "self welt" pocket. Is the rectangle welt part cut in one with the garment piece?

Love this tute. I’m putting in pockets in a boys vest and this is so helpful. Even the same size I need. BTW, what are your thoughts on a self welt pocket. One piece method with just the pocket backing. What would be the difference. in the final outcome (not considering historical methods)? I saw both, the self welt seems easier, but I can’t really see too much difference in the final outcomes on my try outs. Thoughts?

By far the best single welt pocket example I have seen. This example was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this online.

Thank you so much for your instructions and photos…honest to Pete, I was about to rip my hair out trying to follow the directions to make an 1880 era vest for my husband. I found your site and was able to finally (finally!!) make the welt pockets. Thank-you, thank-you…
