Yoke Pocket | Jenniffer Taylor | Photo Tutorial
If you love a pocket (and honestly, who doesn’t?), then you’re in for a treat with this one. In this tutorial, author Jenniffer Taylor is diving into the world of the yoke pocket – that classic, slightly angled pocket you’ve definitely seen on your favourite jeans and trousers.
So, what exactly is a yoke pocket? It’s a pocket that’s cleverly built into both the side seam and the waistline of a garment, with an opening that can be softly curved or angled for a more tailored look. It’s a design you’ll recognise instantly once you start looking for it – and once you’ve sewn one, you’ll start wanting to add it to everything.
Now, at first glance, yoke pockets can look a bit… fiddly. There are a few extra steps and some pattern tweaking involved, which can feel a little intimidating if you’ve never tried one before. But don’t let that put you off – this is one of those techniques that looks far more complicated than it actually is. With a bit of guidance (and a few handy tips along the way), it all comes together beautifully.
This tutorial has been extracted from Your Skirt, Your Way by Jenniffer Taylor. In this title, Jenniffer will show you how to design and sew your own gorgeous, unique skirts, with no need for shop-bought patterns.
