Mini Projects - Pocket Bag

As well as doing production work part of my course is having mini projects with my main tutor in order to learn new skills and progress. The most recent one was how to make several different types of pockets, something I have never thought about let alone actually try and do one. I was extremely nervous as I thought it would be very complicated and I wouldn't be able to achieve this. I was actually surprised at how they were put together it wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be and actually quite fun to do.

I practised 3 types of pockets patch pocket, welt pocket and what my tutor calls a smiley pocket. First I made several samples in order to get used to the process using different sizes and shapes for the patch pocket. After I got used to it and comfortable enough to put on in with confidence I made myself a pocket bag, this was so I can store my sewing kit and have it all neat.

This project was really fun, I got to choose my fabrics and design my own little bag using many different techniques throughout the process, adding piping and flap to give it more of a design. it was extremely fun to do.
