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-

WELT POCKET
Some quick notes on the Welt:
You mark the pocket line on the right side of the garment. Note that in some way this is what a welt is? It is a hidden pocket demarcated by an almost invisible pocket line. So called 'pocket lips' lie so close together so that the welt pocket line is 'gone'. This could be called a tailoring style.
2) Then cut some interfacing to cover this pocket area. The interfacing should be approx. 2cm longer than the pocket but just 2-3cm side. Then Center the interfacing on the wrong side over the pocket line. *The nature of fusing interfacing to a pocket area is important. You can ask should it be sewn / should it be fused. Indeed what is the correct interfacing to use? These questions however won't be immediately answered in this blog but I would certainly like to answer them eventually.
3) The fabric for the pocket should also be interfaced. Interfacing should not cover the whole rectangle. This fabric which is the Welt fabric will be interfaced. What then are the measurements for this Welt?
