This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. We have been working on a garment bag and we applied the ribbon, trim, we have applied our letter initial that we have on the top our letter D. I have made the pockets and pressed them, pinned them, and now I would sew them to the front of the garment bag. Starting at the top edge and sewing just along the pressed outer edge of the pocket. I would just do a line of stitching just along the outside of the pocket. I would lift the pressure foot to turn so it would be nice and smooth. Try to be sure to keep the bottom fabric, the garment bag fabric flat so I would get a nice flat look when I finish. Turn it again at the bottom corner. One more turn and that is all there is to sewing on the pocket on the front of our garment bag.
