Welt pockets with flaps
The end of the front pocket and the welt seam line, both marked on piece 1, are to be considered for size 34. For sizes 36-50, mark the end of the front pocket according to the position of the dart of relevant size.

Pin the welt strips onto the front piece, along both sides of the cut line. Then stitch _” (0.7 cm) wide. Secure seam ends. Cut the front piece between the stitch lines, cut the ends of the pockets at an angle into triangles (d). Do no cut into the welt (e). Fold the welt over the seam line and press.

Turn the welt to the inside. From the right side of the fabric, pin the welt on both sides in a way that they are equally wide (f). At the end of the cutting line, fold the triangles to the inside. Then, stitch the welt (g).

Pin the pocket pouch, made of lining, onto the left front piece so that the top edge is positioned above the seam line of the bottom welt. On the right fabric side, stitch along the seam line of the bottom piping; thereby catching the pocket pouch. Turn the pocket pouch downwards and press (h).
