I am looking forward to practicing these techniques and using them in my upcoming garment making. I want to add pockets to all my pants and skirts:)

I would have appreciated instructions on making the pocket bags. Maybe that was included in another video but that wouldn't really help a beginner just tuning in. This is the first video that I watched here and I'll continue watching! Thanks.
