When I was young, my grand-maman made most of my clothes and made me a pocket like this to wear under my school uniform skirt, which had a slit finish on the side. Instead of a ribbon belt she used cotton and put a button on it. She called it a "besace". Nothing as pretty as what you made but essentially the same garment. I think it was old fashioned even then but not uncommon in the Quebec area where I come from.

It wasn't actually fashion companies solely responsible for the shrinking of women's pockets. It mostly was done in the suffragette era to discourage women from carrying pamphlets and protest gear. So yes, pockets were removed from women's fashion by misogyny, and they are indeed a lovely symbol of feminism for that reason. We need to start an "Honour the Suffragettes" grassroots campaign - get women to make and wear tie on pockets, as a symbol to say that what the patriarchy did back then was wrong and we stand against its effects. Plus we can carry protest gear in them when we riot about yet another horrid thing some old white men have done to women and/or minorities.

Pockets are an absolute must and whilst we're on the subject, can we all agree that pockets sewn into the waistband are vastly superior in size and structure to pockets sewn into side seams? 😂

I notice that you use ONE strand of thread for basting the pocket onto the cotton lining. I learned to use one strand of thread during a cloth doll making course in which the instructor explained that she learned this “technique” from her days in theatrical costume-making. Thread is spun in one direction. When we use the thread doubled, one-half of it is weakened by affecting the direction of the twist. LOVELY handwork!!!🥰

So HISTORY scholar here! Yes, pockets were purposely made smaller and smaller on womens clothing in the midst of womens rights and votes for women movements in the early 20th century to discourage women from carrying pamphlets and protest paraphernalia around. Pockets became political and women with pockets were making a political statement that they had the freedom to carry their own things. So when we make big pockets like this, not only are we making our lives easier, we're paying homage to our feminist sisters throughout history

Good idea. I work as a CNA in a nursing home, and I specifically chose "Old West Bandit" as a Halloween costume so that I could have a holster to substitute for the cargo pocket I usually keep a roll of trash bags in. That, and a bandana to cover the surgical mask we all have to wear.

I'm so gonna do this. I'm tired of not having pockets and this is so practical! I could add a zipper for some security and voila!

Years ago my friend imparted this advise stressing it on me as though a dire warning: "If you are buying pajama bottoms or sweat pants you have to buy them from the mens section. There they will have pockets and that way you'll have a place to carry your cellphone." Before that I honestly assumed it was only with day wear that there was an imbalance in pockets. But nope. Its goes farther than even that. Funnily, with all the tutorials for getting proper pockets out there most of my clothes that dont have Im fine with but to get pockets into my sweat sweatpants?

It the spirit of using what you have I have just made my five year old grandson a cooking apron from an old tea towel and I added an applique patch to the front. I have had this red applique apple since I took it off a T-shirt I wore when I was about twelve years old. That is nearly five decades ago!

I just showed her your channel and she promptly whipped up a pocket today based on your instructions from some random scraps she had lying around. She is so excited to watch more videos!

It's beautiful and makes me wish I could still hand sew - hand pain has stopped that joy two years ago so found using a machine at the grand old age of 62 means I can still create as was more a knitter, crochet person before ( old-style patterns - cables, fair isle and fine yarn makes) with just odd sewing projects but to repetitive and painful now - but gives me the incentive to try and save up to by a sewing/embroidery machine so could buy the pattern, although I wonder if I could use the hand sewing pattern and ask my partner to trace it onto fabric and try using my ordinary machine and just use the fancy stitches on it and different coloured threads, be a challenge but not different from the applique I am trying to learn, in between making my very first Victorian Walking skirt - the one you made in modern length but I am doing full length. Have always loved historical clothing but only made the knitted items and bought others, never felt good enough to hand sew more than casual everyday items or do repairs. Thank you for both the competition and the link for this pattern.

I recently found this wonderful channel of yours!!! I had been wearing my great grandmother's 19th century wool cape (in lovely dark green!) and a couple of ladies approached me and asked if I had sewn it myself! It's fortunate that I was close to a handrail because I nearly lost balance when laughter erupted from me at this question! I can't sew a button on and I was happy to have the ladies examine my cape and confirm that it was indeed a well preserved vintage piece of clothing. We enjoyed several minutes of conversation about the quality of vintage clothing and they recommended your channel to me. I am so grateful! Thanks for taking the time to carefully explain how you make all of these wonderful items! I look forward to watching all of your videos.😊

Strangely, this concept is one of the reasons several of my lady friends really like wearing tech wear styled clothes. "Hey no pockets for you" "Hey, this is full of pockets and is designed for comfort as well as style" Hmmm....I wonder why they do it? /s. Different aesthetic, parallel evolution in response to selective pressures in an "ecosystem".

“Lucy locket lost her pocket” ...Finally, I understand

This type of pockets is so handy, I made myself one few years ago and don't regret any second of hand sewing and embroidering it, it's the best when you are sewing and need million small things that mysteriously disappear when you blink.

does anyone else feel better after hearing a narration by our dear sweet Bernadette. I know that for myself nothing helps more after a panic attack than to listen to her sweet voice.

I sew every day now; I have learned so much from this channel it's insane. Not only have you given me some very real tools, but you've also taught me that projects I had thought were impossible were actually achievable with enough time, practice, and research!!
