How to sew a modern pocket
Autumn/winter 2021 (date tbc)
In this class held at Worthing Museum, you’ll learn everything you need to sew a modern, updated version of a historic woman’s pocket successfully, plus tips to help you choose your design and techniques. The workshop will include a look through Worthing Museum’s fascinating historic collection of pockets with curator Gerry Connelly.
The class will guide you step by step through the stages of sewing a modern pocket with a side slit opening and belt loop. The first part of the class will take you through the initial stages – from cutting out to pinning together – then we’ll take you through the final stages using ready-made pieces as illustrations. You’ll be able to download the full instructions, and our hints, tips and hacks sheet also gives you suggestions for sewing vertical slits, plus links to binding techniques and making an integral belt.
Full booking details coming soon.
