Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.43,0:00:03.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a box, in the corner of my sewing\Nroom.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.62,0:00:07.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is a box whose contents have not seen the\Nlight of day for many a month.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.42,0:00:10.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many crafters will be familiar with this box,\Nin all of its forms:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.69,0:00:14.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There’s the ever-growing amorphous lump\Nthat lies underneath your desk…
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.59,0:00:18.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The monster underneath your bed…\NThe stuff you vacuum-packed in a fit of organization
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.73,0:00:22.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and stuffed into your garage in the hopes\Nthat you’d never have to deal with it again…
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.15,0:00:25.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This, my friends, is the UNFINISHED SEWING\NPILE.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.37,0:00:38.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The item that I pulled out of the box for\Ntoday’s episode is this thrifted dress.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.19,0:00:42.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now it's a pretty nice simple floral dress\Nwith a gathered skirt… but it really annoys
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.42,0:00:46.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me that more of my clothes don’t have POCKETS.\NI've decided that I need more pockets in my
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.90,0:00:50.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,life. So, I’m going to add some.\NNow, you can do this to any item of clothing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.46,0:00:54.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that has side seams – dresses, skirts, pants,\Njackets – basically anything that has a
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.76,0:00:56.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seam that you can rip open.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.36,0:00:59.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To make a pattern for my pocket, I grabbed\Na piece of paper with a straight edge, and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.90,0:01:04.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I put my hand flat on it, and then angled\Nmy hand slightly downwards like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.27,0:01:08.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I traced around the shape of my hand,\Nwith roughly 1 inch extra all the way around,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.90,0:01:13.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,turning it into a pocket shape that looks\Nlike this. And then I cut my pattern out.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.61,0:01:17.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The fabric that I’m using for my pocket\Nis this thrifted cotton pillow case. The pillow
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.66,0:01:21.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,case fabric is already in two layers, but\Nif you’re just using a regular piece of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.49,0:01:24.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fabric then fold it over before this next\Nstep.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.23,0:01:29.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I put my pocket pattern on top of the fabric,\Ntraced around it, repeated this, and then
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.37,0:01:34.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cut them out. Now if you remember, I was cutting\Nthrough 2 layers of fabric here, so this gave
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.44,0:01:39.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me 4 pocket pieces in total and I will use\N2 symmetrical pieces for each pocket.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.47,0:01:43.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Back to my dress, I tried it on and then I\Nfigured out roughly where I wanted the pockets
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.31,0:01:47.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to sit. Then, I turned the dress inside out,\Nlined up the pocket pattern with the seam,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.98,0:01:52.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I made 2 marks, using chalk, at the\Ntop and bottom of the pocket, on the dress material.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.76,0:01:57.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I ripped open the seam in-between the\Nchalk lines. I used some small, sharp scissors
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.23,0:02:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a seam ripper to help me out here, and\NI actually opened up the seam to one inch
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.19,0:02:03.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,above and below the chalk lines.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.26,0:02:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then – and watch carefully because this\Nis a little bit tricky – when I sew it on,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.12,0:02:16.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my pocket is going to end up facing in a downwards\Ndirection like this. So, I line up the straight
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.77,0:02:21.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,edge of the pocket with the open seam, right\Nside of the fabric facing down, and then,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.42,0:02:26.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the dress at the open seam, I fold back\Nthe top layer like this. Then I carefully
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.15,0:02:31.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,place the pocket material on top, right-sides-together\Nwith this folded-back dress fabric - and then
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.34,0:02:37.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I insert pins to keep it in place.\NThat was a little bit confusing, so this is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.61,0:02:40.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what it looks like from the other side, once\Nit's all pinned together.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.63,0:02:43.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, I sew this piece of the pocket to\Nthe dress like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.50,0:02:48.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just use a basic straight stitch and I sew\Nthe pieces together about 1 quarter of an
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.33,0:02:49.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inch away from the edges.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.98,0:02:53.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On the other side of the open seam, I’m\Ngoing to do the exact same thing to attach
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.77,0:02:58.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the other half of the pocket.\NSo, I line up the pocket, fold back the dress
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.59,0:03:00.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,material at the seam,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.04,0:03:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pin, and then sew the\Npocket to this side of the dress using a straight stitch.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.74,0:03:14.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And once both the pocket flaps are sewn on,\NI place them right-sides together. With the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.66,0:03:19.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dress still inside out, I sew the seam back\Ntogether where it’s been opened above and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.41,0:03:23.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,below the pocket material, and also all the\Nway around the pocket like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.52,0:03:27.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s also a good idea to pin everything\Nin place to hold it together while you sew!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.96,0:03:32.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, I’m using a basic straight stitch.\NWhen I was done I turned my dress the right
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.86,0:03:35.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,way around, and I admired this cute new little\Npocket!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.69,0:03:39.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then gave the pocket a good iron and then\NI repeated the exact same thing on the other
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.45,0:03:42.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,side to end up with two pockets, and I’m\Ndone!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.55,0:03:46.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is how it looks!\NThe addition of pockets to this dress makes
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.21,0:03:52.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it about twice as interesting, and also infinitely\Nmore useful because this dress can hold things!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.15,0:03:56.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also like how the pockets are hidden - they're\Nreally subtle and you can’t really see them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.22,0:03:59.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- but when you do, BAM, they’re super cute\Nand polka-dotty!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.41,0:04:03.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, now that I know how easy it is to add\Npockets to an item of clothing, I’m going
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.50,0:04:07.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to go ahead and add pockets to every pocketless\Nitem that I own. Thanks for watching, and
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.75,0:04:09.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’ll see you all later! Bye!
