Welt pockets are a wonderful addition to any well-made garment, but inexperienced sewers can find them intimidating. In the past I struggled to cut welt strips that matched, make accurate stitches, and overcome my nervousness about cutting a pocket opening through the garment. Now, however, I sew welt pockets stress-free, thanks to a method I developed while working with fashion design students to create a more logical, step-by-step process. This method is adapted from an industry technique and requires just two measurements and five basting lines for perfectly folded and sized welts. It can be used in place of any welt-pocket process given in pattern instructions.
