Pocketing fabric back in our range!
This year we celebrate our 25th jubilee and when we started we sold pocketing. Most customers who bought it were tailors. They are the people who sew a lot of jackets, blazers and trousers. And those garment traditionally have pocketing for the pockets.
Unfortunately, a few years later, it was not available anymore. We always regretted that. But we have found a new supplier for pocketing fabric, so it is back in stock!
Pocketing with fishbone motif
It is a good looking type of pocketing with a woven in fishbone motif. In the colours black and white. The white is not bright white, more offwhite. With the fishbone weft the pocketing looks like it is striped which gives it a luxurious look. It is 84cm wide, enough to cut the pocket parts from!
Polyester and cotton, polyester for strength, cotton for comfort, perfect combination for the pockets in your skirt and trousers and also for your coat, overcoat or blazer. Als o suitable for bags. The percentages are 65% cotton and 35% polyester. With 115 grams per square metre we have a good sturdy pocketing fabric that is not too stiff…
Why pocketing and not normal lining?
The advantage of pocketing is that it is stronger than average lining. Especially when you are someone who likes to fill their pockets with keys, wallets etc. you will probably want to have pocketing instead of normal lining. Take your keys for example: they are made of metal which rub up against your pocketlining. Because you move they will keep rubbing. Ordinary lining will be damaged in a heartbeat…
So do yourself a favor and use pocketing to line your pockets!
On the picture here you see an example of a side pocket with pocketing. I hear your thoughts: I do not see the pocketing… That is right, when sewing a side pocket you always put a little piece of fabric in the entrance of the pocket, that looks great doesn’t it?
