Gonna keep a tally of messages I get from a) white feminists completely proving my point and b) people who think this comic proves feminism is worthless because I criticized one part of it. (Even despite me writing these words underneath the comic.) Then I’ll add them all up, see which column has more, and then drink myself to sleep either way.

How to sew inside pocket with rounded welt + free pocket pattern

I love to add inside pockets to my outers and it’s really useful. I everytime hope womens wears have this kind of pockets more. Recently I made my Bamboo coat with a rounded inside pocket (the fluffy white one above) and today, share the pattern and how to sew here. I actually intended to use this for inside pockets, but you can apply other places like side seams. You can download the pocket pattern here.

How to sew inside pocket with rounded welt

<Cut / Markings / Interfacing>

Prepare the pieces above in the photo. Decide the pocket place as you wish and mark the place on the Front Facing and Front Lining. Press interfacing between fold lines of the Pocket Pouch Front. This place will be the welt. Normally we press interfacing to pocket open part, too, but generally facing pieces are fully interfaced already, so we can skip this step. *The photo shows only left side parts. *I use square shaped fabric pieces instead of the bodice lining and facing pieces for the explanation.

<Fold Pouch Front piece>

Fold and crease the fold lines of the pocket Pouch Front piece like a bellows.

<Attach the Pocket Pouch Front piece to the Lining piece>

Open the folded part. Place the Pocket Pouch Front piece on the pocket place of the Lining piece right sides together. Stitch the rounded pocket open line as shown in the photo.

Trim the seam allowance and clip the curve.

Turn the right side out and shape with an iron tip.

<Attach the Pocket Pouch Back piece to the Facing piece>

Place the Pocket Pouch Back piece on the pocket place of the Facing piece right sides together. Stitch the seam line with 6mm seam allowance as shown in the photo.

Turn the Pocket Pouch piece out and press.

<Connect the Facing and Lining pieces>

Put together the Facing and Lining pieces right side together. Sew the seam line until the pocket open edges.

Fold the fold lines on the Pouch Front piece again like bellows.

You can see the folded part makes the welt from the right side. Shape and fix the welt and top stitch along the rounded line. Make sure you do not stitch the Pouch Back piece.

<Sew Front and Back Pocket Pouch>

Wrong side up, press the seam allowance to lining side. Layer the Front and Back Pocket Pouch pieces and double stitch the outline. *Depending on the thickness of your fabric, the pieces might not line up correctly. Do not forcibly match the seam lines, simply line up the pieces in a way that avoids wrinkles or warps.

<Finishing>

Bar tack on the both side of the pocket open  (optional).

***** Voila! ******

Buffy The Vampire Slayer & Angel’s contrasting endings.

Sunshine is beautiful. It is life giving, renewing and means new beginnings. It can also mean happiness, youth, new beginnings, wealth and original ideas. Overall, it is seen as a positive force. Sunshine feels and looks good, so we embrace it. 

Buffy The Vampire Slayer ends with the sun shining. The slayers have been ‘awoken’, and the battle in the Hellmouth is over. We don’t know what’s next for Buffy Summers- yet judging by her smile, it can only be positive. She’s got her life ahead of her. The ending to this saga is heartwarming and feel-good, as well as leaving the viewer with a sense of triumph.

Rain is more bittersweet and melancholic. Some theorize that rain is the tears of God, men- and even angels. Rain is grim and hard to understand, but ultimately nourishing for the earth. Despite how grim and impactful rain can be, it is worthy of our understanding.

Angel ends in rain, during the night. LA has never been darker, the forces of Wolfram & Hart are out to kill them. If rain symbolizes pain and hardship, then it’ll never stop raining for Angel. He must keep fighting, and the fight will never end for him. It’s a tense, powerful ending that stays with the audience for days. It’s not a cliffhanger- but merely reaffirms what the series is about. If Nothing We Do Matters, Then All That Matters Is What We Do.
