Bound pocket /right front pant
Press a strip of interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric of the right front pant piece over the marked lines of the pocket.
Important for sizes 36 to 46: Draw in lines between the end marks of the pocket on the front left pant leg. Between those lines, draw the cutting line, around 1/2” (1.3 cm) shorter at each end. Transfer lines to right side of fabric using basting stitches.

Baste pocket welts onto both sides of the cutting edge of the front pant piece and stitch using 3/8” (0.7 cm). Secure seam ends. (a)

Cut pant piece between the stitching lines along the cutting marks and cut diagonally coming close to the last stitching line, forming little triangles. Don’t cut into the piping tapes. Press the piping tapes onto the seam. (b)

Turn the piping inwards and baste, approach from the right side, to make them of equal width and make them cover the cutting. Press. ©

Baste pocket pouch (piece 8) in such a way onto the left fabric side, that the even edge above the seam will be positioned below the piping. (d)

Stitch exactly along the seam of the bottom piping, approaching from the right side. Thereby stitching the pocket pouch. Press pocket pouch downwards. (e)

Pin the other pocket pouch onto the upper pant edge so that the bottom and side edges of the pocket pouches lay on top of each other. Approaching from the right, stitch along the seam of the upper piping, thereby closing the pocket pouch. (f)
