How Do You Sew A Pocket With A Zippered Closure?
• Gather your garment, fabric, zipper and other sewing supplies. • Cut a pocket into a desired shape, but greater in length. Allow for a half-inch seam allowance on all sides of the pocket. • Cut off the top quarter of the pocket. • Place the zipper between the top quarter and lower part of the pocket. • Fold “all” four sides of the pocket over once. Fold about a half-inch to the wrong side of the fabric and iron it flat. • Align and pin your pocket onto your garment. Stitch “all” four sides of the pocket to your garment.
