Tell me more! What will I get?

All kinds of things! My aim is that by the end of the course, you’ll have made a beautiful pocket, you’ll have learned or practised some sewing skills that you can apply to all kinds of projects, you’ll have had the chance to meet some like-minded sewists and share your progress with them, and you’ll know a bit more about the fascinating history of pockets.

More than that, though, I hope you’ll feel that you’ve given yourself some well-deserved time and space to relax into a rewarding, stress-free and enjoyable project, and you’ll have the satisfaction that comes from making a lovely, useful thing.

Wonderful! But…what does the course actually include??

You’ll receive:

A pdf download of the Imogen pocket pattern and method.

Access to a 70-minute step-by-step video tutorial, divided into 4 videos that you can watch at your own pace, as many times as you need. We go through the whole project together, and I’ve included lots of extra hints, tips, and handy methods that I couldn’t fit into the written instructions.

Bonus videos where I talk about fabric choices, demonstrate the stitches we’ll be using, and give a little history of tie-on pockets and why we should all be wearing them!

Access to live Q&A sessions, where I’ll answer any questions you might have, and admire your work if you’d like to show it off!

Hang on, I’ve already got the Imogen pattern…

If you’ve already got the pattern, congratulations on your excellent taste! But this course offers SO much more than just the pattern. I’ve rewritten the pattern with new images to accompany the videos. I’ve added a new construction method and lots of other tips. Then there are the bonus videos, and the Q&A sessions as well!

Do I need to be good at sewing?

No, not at all!! The Imogen pocket is suitable for sewists of all confidence levels. One of the many beauties of tie-on pockets, is that you can make them as simple or as complicated as you like. The Imogen pocket is a perfect ‘starter’ pocket to make – whether you’re new to sewing, or you want a good simple pattern to use as a basis for experimenting with fabrics and stitches.
