Nesting with See Kate Sew

· 6 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day! 
I think it’s fitting that I share a blogger that I love with all of you. You probably already know her...Kate from See Kate Sew.
 
This girl just rocked Project Run and Play with her adorable outfits. She sews such stylish, unique clothing and she does it with personality and spunk. It’s so fun to read her blog which is full of beautiful photography to boot.
 
She is a sewing whiz and I learn so much from her and all her great tutorials. Today she is going to share a basic tutorial that can add clean, simple detail {my favorite kind!} to any baby outfit.
 
Here’s Kate…
____________________________________________

I love subtle details on clothing, especially little pockets! You can add these pockets to a dress you make or one you already have! Or sew them onto pants, skirts, tunics, anything! 

They are easy to make and really easy to sew onto clothing. Boring to exciting! It’s so easy, too! Here’s the tutorial: Little Pocket PDF Pattern. First, print out the pocket pattern. Then cut out two layers for each pocket you want to make.

Pin them together and sew around the edges, leaving a large opening at the top. Backstitch at each end of your stitching.
Then clip the bottom curves and use pinking shears to reduce bulk.
Fold it right sides out and press, making sure the opening is folded.

Then topstitch the top edge, backstitching at each end.

Repeat and you’re ready to attach them to your clothing.

Pin the pockets on where you want them and stitch around the sides and bottom, backstitching at both top ends.

All done!

Thanks for having me Delia!

Isn’t that hedgehog dress adorable? I seriously love it. 
And using pinking shears to reduce bulk! I am doing that from now on. 
Thank you for nesting with me Kate!
