The separate in-seam pocket is made up of separate garment and pocket
pieces that are joined in the seam line of the garment to create a pocket.
1. Mark the pocket placed on the garment with tailor’s chalk.
2. With right sides together, pin the pocket sections with matching markings. Machine stitch within the seam allowance.
3. Press the pocket outward. With right sides together and the pocket extended, match markings and pin front and back sections together
along the pocket opening. Tack across the opening.
4. Pin and stitch the side seams above and below the pocket opening
together. Reinforce the top and bottom markings with backstitches.
Press the back pocket seam open and the front pocket seam toward the pocket.
5. Pin the pocket lining together and stitch around the pocket seam
allowance, backstitching at the pocket markings. Catch the front seam
in the stitching.
Overlock around the edge of the pocket.
Press the pocket flat toward the front of the garment.
