ABSTRACT:
In a method of constructing pockets, a pocket blank is preferably folded first along both longitudinal edges, and then transversely so that the folded edges are inside the two resultant pocket panels. The inner pocket panel is adhesively secured to the inside of a garment wherein a pocket is desired. Following formation of a slit of predetermined shape in the adhesive connection between the garment and inner pocket panel, the flaps formed thereby are folded back and adhesively secured to produce a pocket slot. Alternatively, the slot can be formed directly by cutting or punching a rectangular opening through the garment and inner pocket panel. In accordance with the preferred construction, a pocket welt is then adhesively secured across the bottom of the slot. A reinforcing stitch is preferably added through the welt and the folded back bottom edge of the slot. If desired, another welt or a pocket flap extending through the slot can be adhesively secured across the top of the slot. A facing strip can then be placed over the welt(s), flap and/or remainder of the slot, if desired. Stitched tacks are provided at both ends of the slot through the garment, inner pocket panel, and desired pocket components. The upper section of the outer pocket panel is then closed and adhesively secured at least to the upper end and remaining edge sections of the inner pocket panel to complete construction of the pocket.
