A welt pocket is a type of pocket used in clothing construction, where a small piece of fabric is sewn into the garment to create a pocket. Welt pockets are often used in jackets, coats, and other outerwear, and they are known for their clean, professional look.
These are created by cutting a slit in the fabric, then inserting a strip of fabric (the welt) over the opening.
It provides a neat, finished edge for the pocket and helps prevent items from falling out. The pocket itself is created by cutting a separate piece of fabric and sewing it behind the welt. In a single-welt pocket, only one strip of fabric (the welt) is used to create the pocket opening. In a double-welt pocket, two strips of fabric are used to create a more substantial opening. Welt pockets are commonly found in jackets, coats, and other outerwear and can add a professional touch to your sewing projects.
