How To Repair Jacket Pocket Lining

How to Stitch Down Pocket Linings

Having pockets on sweaters is so handy, only sometimes the lining tin expect messy on the inside. Hither are 2 excellent and elementary techniques that will keep your pockets in line every time: the first is for knit pockets, the second for fabric pockets.

Knit Pockets

Use the scrap yarn to establish the line on the dorsum of your knitted garment, then sew your pocket to that squeamish straight sight-line. Our patterns Lena and Maude employ this technique. Our Sarah and Zoe patterns too use this technique, however you lot won't need to whipstitch the bottom. Here are the steps that will brand this job easier and give you a very tidy effect.

Step 1

After knitting a garment with the slit for the pocket opening and completing the knit lining of the pocket, identify the lining of the pocket on the inside of the sweater.

Footstep 2

Marker the length that the pocket lining is supposed to exist. For example, in the photo the pocket lining was v" deep.

Step 4

Showtime direct below the pocket ribbing and choose either smiles or frowns (sometimes chosen u's and umbrellas).

These are the parts that make up a sew on the purl side, if you study the fabric y'all tin see that in that location are u-shapes (smiles) and upside-down u-shapes (frowns). If y'all choose i or the other and stick to them, it will help keep your piece of work in a straight line all the way downwardly.

Pace 5

Thread your scrap yarn through every other smile or frown, in a direct line down from your showtime point at the ribbing.

In the photo you can see the scrap yarn is threaded through smiles from the bottom of the ribbing to the v" mark.

Stride 7

Thread your working yarn (use tails wherever possible) onto your tapestry needle and stitch through every other row on the border of your pocket lining. Then thread information technology through the sew that your fleck yarn is running through on the sweater. This gives you a precise route map of where to go.

Pace viii

In one case you have worked down each side edge it should be easy to whipstitch across the lesser. I whipstitch knitted linings with a tapestry needle and yarn.

Textile Pockets

I use whipstitch to adhere pocket linings. I whipstitch woven fabric linings with a sewing needle and thread (every bit shown).

Pre-launder and dry out fabric. Cut four pieces of fabric to the size directed in your pattern. With RS's together, sew ii pieces together around edges, leaving one/two " / ane cm seams and 2 " / v cm opening to plough right-side-out. Repeat for 2nd pair of fabric pieces. Turn RS out and press. Sew the remaining opening airtight. Our pattern Emma (Version C) uses this technique.

Set-upwards

Thread needle.

Step one

Pass needle up through both pieces.

ii

Step two

Bring needle to front over the top.

Step 3

Repeat these 2 steps for length of seam. If working with thread, knot as cease and snip. If working with yarn, work in end and snip.
