How to repair torn trouser pocket

Most suit or good trousers have the pocket attached to the side seam.  So when the pocket splits, or is torn, it can seem a bit confusing as to how you get in there to repair.  If you try and sew up the seam without unpicking the side section attaching the pocket to the seam, it will not sit correctly.

This video covers how to unpick, access, darn and put it all back together.  It is only a 10 minute video, but well worth the watch.

Why throw the trousers away when they can be repaired.  And if you do this for a living, you could charge around $15 - $20 to do the repair.

Happy altering
