SMART POCKETS! All humility aside, I LOVE our pockets. So easy to get professional results. A welt pocket could not be easier. SO Easy to place on the grid - I marked with a pin where I wanted the top, and placed the interfacing along the diagonal of the grid. TIP: after stitching on the lines, IF the fabric is bulky, trim the layers a tiny bit- 16th-1/8th”. Fold your coat right sides together so you can check the pocket placement of the other side. Yeah, this one is spot on! I know there are those of you waiting for the final pic- but I gotta run some Thanksgiving Day errands! Check back later!
