If you have opted for the version with topstitching around the double welt pockets, topstitch the sides and top. It&#8217;s helpful to pin the pocket bag in place with 1 to 2 pins beforehand.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2746&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]For the version without visible topstitching on the top edge, fold the fabric down above the opening and pin it in place. Now topstitch through the sides and top of the pocket bag on the upper pocket bag directly behind the attachment seam, so that you can only grap downwards into the double welt pockets.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2773&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]For the design with the side bartacks, I recommend trying it out on a piece of fabric first. In this example, I have used a narrow zigzag stitch with a stitch width of 2.5 mm and a stitch length of 0.5 mm.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Sew_pocket_bag_to_waistband_edge\"><\/span><b>14.

Your double welt pockets are finished and you can continue with the next step.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Here is a selection of links to further steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/sew-french-pockets-into-trousers-tv01\/\">Sew french pockets into trousers #TV01<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/sewing-fly-with-zipper-z01\/\">Sew fly with zipper #Z01<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not quite ready yet and perhaps want to start from scratch, you&#8217;ll find some links here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/preparing-the-sewing-pattern-for-cutting\/\">Preparing the pattern for cutting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpattern.de\/en\/instructions\/the-cutting-of-fabrics-and-materials\/\">Cutting fabrics and materials<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":2781,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[396,398,538,539,540,556],"tags":[590],"class_list":["post-9769","anleitungen","type-anleitungen","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-instructions","category-trousers","category-sewing","category-chino-en","category-marlene-en","category-trouser-pocket","tag-download-schnittmuster-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
