I know I am not alone in noticing how skimpy pockets are in ladies clothing. I was comparing my jean pockets to my husbands and it was pretty annoying.  His pockets went midway down his thigh where mine were finished just below the pocket opening. That is less than two inches deep!   Any other ladies have their phone fall our of their front pocket just by bending over? I use my pockets and they need to be practical.  In today's video, I add an extension to my jean pockets and get deep pockets!  Check out my other sewing related videos on the playlist Sewing and Such  If you like my video please consider clicking "like" and "subscribe."

This is one of my favorite projects I've made this year.  In the video, I make the entire dress and chat a lot.   🔽   Sew along with me in the video below! 🔽 In this video, I show how to cut the different layers of the dress, laying out the border print along hemlines, box pleats, underling, lining, invisible zipper, pocket installation, French seams, overlock seams, and bias binding. A few details about this project: ~pattern: Butterick 6415 ~fabric from JoAnn's Fabric, lace embroidered netting, polyester lining, polyester crepe (underlining) ~I used the decorative edge of the net lace to finish the sleeve and hem and back neckline ~Sewing machine: Bernina 770QE ~Overlock/Serger: Bernina 334DS I've worn this dress twice so far. The first time was at the wedding I made it for.  The second was to a dinner theater date for our anniversary.    See my whole sewing playlist here!
