WELT POCKET

It is important to interface the Welt itself. You can interface half of the Welt or all. Take into account that 'all' means interfacing within 3/8 inch inside the Welt rectangle. In this note, the Welt is created using a whole rectangle and not two separate pieces. Then with wrong sides together, fold the rectangle in half and stitch the ends. The aim is to turn the welt inside out. Before turning inside out, grade the seams in a suitable manner so that a neat welt is made.

The facing and the lining are also important parts of the pocket. Stitch the facing to the lining pattern.

Stitch then the welt pattern to the pocket line. Use a close stitching line e.g. 1/4 inch. On the other side of the pocket line, stitch the facing with a suitable stitching line. The lining has been stitched to the facing.

Then the aim is to open up the pocket line. Snip into the line and cut open. There are some simple rules to follow when cutting the pocket line open but these aren't mentioned here. These are general welt notes. The aim is to get a general picture of the Welt so that better notes can be eventually given.

Then you pull through both the welt and the facing/lining. Note now incomplete-
//TO BE COMPLETED
