Adding Pockets when I Sew my Clothes

I’ve been adding pockets when I sew my clothes. I sew most of my own clothes, using Jalie patterns. ALL of my “bottoms” have pockets, whether they’re part of the original pattern, or if I’ve had to adapt the pattern to include pockets. My car keys go in my left pocket, my money, a tissue and credit card go in...

How I Drafted my Functional Front Pockets for Jalie’s Eleonore Pull-on Jeans Pattern

Functional Front Pockets Wow, that’s the longest title I’ve written, then shortened it to functional front pockets.

A Scuba Remnant into Eleonore Jeans

Happy New Year! Last year, while digging through the remnant bin at Fabricland, I dug out a piece of grey scuba that looked about 1 meter in length, for $9! I bought it, prewashed it, and turned that 38 inch scuba remnant into Eleonore jeans. (That pattern, by Jalie, is my favourite pant pattern.) Fitting the pattern pieces on...

Back Pocket Pointers for Jeans

Sharing some Back Pocket Pointers Let’s face it, back pockets on jeans seem to catch attention. As I’ve been writing tutorials and sewing samples of the different parts of Jalie’s Eleonore pull-on jeans, I came up with some back pocket pointers. To make the turning under and pressing easy, make yourself a simple pressing gauge. I made mine from a...
