Great video! My favourite pants pattern has no pockets - now it does! Your design is brilliant in its simplicity and the best feature for me is that it is attached at the waist. It looks great too!🌷

I like that style of pocket! My easy go-to pocket is similar, except I just do the diagonal opening from the waistline. I'm going to try this one too! I agree, much easier than those side seam pocket where you have to attach them to the front and back pieces and sew all around them. Total pain! :)

I want to put pockets in a knit pant pattern I am making with some heavier (10 ounce) cotton Lycra jersey. In general, while I love sewing with knits, there are some challenges 😅really stumping me. 1. pockets, 2. Like when I’ve accidentally used a fabric with much more ( or less) stretch than called for by the pattern. Are there any guidelines for adapting in this situation?

Excellent info and video! I was wondering if you have a video on doing a zipper extension. I just bought a pant pattern that has button instead of a fly and was asking another $10 for purchasing the pack extension. I'm so sick of those indie cie that like to squeeze you more and charge a heathy price for the pattern itself. So would love to learn it and now I'm not stuck with anymore button hole and buttons instead of zipper. Thank you!!

Not an expert but yes I have done it myself. It depends on the other features of your garment. Mine was a dress with a square collar so I wanted to keep angles rather than curves. @Catherine: thank you for this super clear tutorial. You even show what can go wrong and what not to worry about. You rock!

Hi Catherine, great idea. Ilove your work. Being a sewer of some 50yrs, I am always open to new & different ways of doing things, but quality learning is difficult to find on YT. Most sewing channels are run by the v young, early in their sewing journey & whose sole experience of clothing is the mass produced. While I believe wholeheartedly that people should sew whatever & however it works for them, it saddens me greatly that these channels teach others that an overlocker finish is 'the' professional standard, when it's untrue; experience & learning dictate that it is instead the sweatshop standard & that garments last longer & hold shape better with a couture or tailored finish. While you love your overlocker, I like that you show alternative finishes too & your recommendations to shop secondhand are paramount - choosing 2nd hand over buying virgin plastic fabrics would be something I'd like to see. I'd also like to see much more reference to metric measurements please; I started primary school 50yrs ago this year & even back then, we were educated ONLY in the metric system. There are 1.35bn English speakers & potential viewers in the planet - 94.7% of us use the metric system. Even USA's scientific & mathematical community is metric, plus 20% of under-45s in the US, according to US govt have increased to always using metric. The name itself tells us Imperial reflects an archaic time of colonisation, but being inclusive means including everyone. Don't just 'turn American' like other international KZitemrs currently are in droves. Keep being yourself, but do remember the other 1.28bn of us. Blessings & bonne chance.

Thanks, Joanne! And thanks for the reminder to stay true to myself. Like many Canadians, I go back and forth between metric and imperial, which might be confusing for some, but it’s very Canadian!!
