When basting the placement of a pocket through the pattern & fabric how long should the stitches be?

[antoinettecoles]

I prefer folding-over the sides and pressing them, before I fold over the top. It is a neater finish.

That’s great but what about the raw hem of the pocket?

[penelopeann]

Spooky. I am making a frock and considering putting a pocket on it. Not sure of where to place it although I won't have a problem with how to attach it once I've decided.

Can you sew the patch pockets to a dress sorry I m very new to sewing and making clothes

[lovethenightair]

I have been floundering around the internet trying to find a simple way to attach a pocket to a vest. I feel stupid now that it never occurred to me to go the route of a patch pocket. #I'manidiot
