Types of welt pockets

Many things have pockets. It’s not difficult for masters to create a beautiful, smooth and neat pocket. But beginners have to initially choose the product itself. And at this stage, questions may already arise. Read more about the types of pockets, a few words about creating such types later in the article.

What types of welt pockets exist?

More than 10 different types of pockets exist for things. Each is unique in its own way, but you need to create them without haste, and it’s better to measure the sides once again before grasping the scissors. Then there are photos of pockets and a brief description for each, as well as creation tips for craftsmen and those who have recently started to sew.

Single-pocket welt pocket

In the photo we see a rectangular frame and an insert, where another fabric is already . To do this, you must first measure the sides, then draw with chalk or special pencils for the fabric.

Then make a cut in the center of the frame, and gently tuck the edges inward. Next, you need an iron. It is necessary to smooth the edges of the frame. Only after this can additional fabric be inserted, the ends of each fabric should be tucked in one direction.

To make everything turn out smooth and without displacement, also iron the additional fabric, and initially use needles to connect.

Slit welt pocket

This option is just a variation of the first version. But it additionally includes a special part from an additional patch.

Flap pocket

This option with a valve looks very nice.

It is divided into an element with one edge and two. When performing the product, this option is practically no different from a simple one with a frame, but it will require a special valve. Run it in size separately.

The valve itself should be created initially on the wrong side . Then the part that was made so that the sides did not diverge to cut through and pass the valve there.

The second option is performed by analogy, but the frame will have two edges and therefore there will be an additional line above the valve .

Zip pocket

This difficult form has three varieties at once . It is simple with a zipper. For him, use a zipper, which is initially sewn to additional fabric. After creating as a simple element with a frame.

With a leaflet, it’s useful to create a leaflet in addition to the workpiece with a zipper, and insert it when first stitching it so that it is on the front side.

Slotted “framed” with zippers

Very common options are models such as lightning in a frame.

Slit pocket with leaflet

The leaflet represents a separate part, which is combined with the product, and the creation takes place according to the technology of a simple frame.

Here, the sides of the leaflet will be stitched, and not stitched with a visible seam on the front side.

But there is also a line on the front side, this is a type with a leaflet and stitching ends.

Slant pocket

The implementation of this model is located next to a simple frame, only here there will be no need for underlay parts, but only a narrow strip and additional lines that will fix the leaves.

Outwardly it will be difficult to distinguish it from the usual one with a leaflet. But you just have to touch it with your hands and try to put something in there and you understand that there is not much space, or rather, your fingers immediately rest on the seam of the leaflet.

Framed welt-in pocket

The fraud can be not only with leaflets, but also the usual "framed" model. For it, also, no additional parts for the insides will be required, since the compartment itself will not be there. Just like in the previous version, the elements for creating the frame.

Flap welt pocket

Initially draw the edges - this is an elongated rectangle . Then create an additional part. There will be no need to make a compartment, and therefore the inner part is only a small part that will be combined with the sides external from the frame. But this model needs a valve, do it along the width of the tuck and sew on the wrong side. After the front side is cut, the sides are turned out and the already ironed product will require an even line for the edges of the cut.

Slit welt pocket

Very interesting model. It will be difficult for beginners to understand. The drawing itself is presented in three lines. Next, create all the necessary internals - these are the product walls and an additional part that will fix the gap seams.

Cut through the seams only in one line.

Welt pocket

The structure of this view is very similar to model 9 and even 1. But its trick is that outwardly all the details are hidden with the help of a small and thick edging.

Valves

Valves are a kind of "lid" pocket . In their form, they can be very different. They can simply repeat the bottom of the product itself. Usually they are made plump so that they keep their shape well. Therefore, often these “caps” consist of two layers of fabric, which the seamstress folds with the wrong sides to each other and makes a slight bend inward .

The line itself runs a millimeter from the edge. This is real skill and very delicate work . An iron can be used before stitching. This will make the fabric more supple and indicate the outline of the corners.

Leaflets

Some pockets are covered with leaves. Under them you can easily hide not only the entrance to the hole, but also a wide zipper. Very inventive details. And they also have a ton of varieties . Such elements may be single. For example, to be located and have a hole above or below. For a vertical pocket on the right or left.

For oblique - special rhombuses are performed . The seamstress always follows the shared thread, so that in general the whole element is a single whole. There are types of leaflets that are created short along the edges. Such options for the zipper are very convenient.

Edging

Tipping - this is the name of the fabric with which the craftsmen process cutouts . But they do not always repeat the shape of the product and are a single fabric. They can be made from completely contrasting fabric, and such is the designer's idea.

Shareholder

In any case, the future incision should always be reinforced with a special fabric . This strip or rectangle is called a doleik. This element is represented either by a thin cotton fabric or non-woven. The width is usually used from 6 cm. After installation in the required place, this part must be well fixed, and manual seams help to do this. Stitching is on the longest side of the top and bottom of the rectangle. Stitches should be made at a distance of about 2-3 cm and at a distance of 0.5 cm from the edge.

Burlap Lining

The main fabric can also be used as fabric on this inner element. But in the case when the master is sewing a coat or something with a thicker fabric, it is better to use a special underlay fabric. In size, you can use different options . They can be a one-piece single piece or consist of parts.

Valance

The gap is a certain overlap of the main fabric that will close the entrance to the product . It is important to remember one rule for him. Its pattern will be in compliance with the directions of the shared thread and only from the fabric of the main product.

Through diligence and painstaking work, you can achieve an excellent result. And things are always more practical with pockets. A variety of it can make a thing individual.
