How to sew in-seam pockets - Video tutorial

Today's tutorial is a follower request! In today's video, I'll be showing you how to sew in-seam pockets. I think it's pretty universally agreed that everyone loves pockets and garments are instantly 100% better when they incorporate them. In-seam pockets can be added to the side seam of a dress, skirt, pants or shorts. They are probably the most commonly found type of pocket (I did not research that statement! lol). But, I do think they are the most beginner friendly and that's why they are found in so many sewing patterns. They are nearly invisible when wearing and do not alter the style lines of a garment. Which means, because all that stitching is on the interior, it doesn't have to be perfect or topstitched, like a patch pocket. Also, if your sewing pattern doesn't come with an in-seam pocket pattern piece, I even have one for you to download for free.
