Sewing GIANT 18th Century Pockets | But Make It Glam Rock!

This is the beginning of my next project: Glam Rock Goes Rococo, where I take 1973 Ziggy Stardust and plop him into 1773 Versailles. In this video, I walk you step by step through how I hand embroider and then sew a pair of 18th century pockets, inspired by one of my favorite artists as well as extant pocket examples. And at the end of the video, I show you exactly how huge these things really are—and may or may not try and fit an entire bottle of whiskey in one :D One of modern feminine clothing’s biggest faults is its disgusting lack of pockets. I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve passed up on a garment because it didn’t have any, or complained about existing clothes that are missing them—or worse, have fake ones! So, naturally, in building up my 18th century kit, giant 18th century pockets were going to be one of my first projects. A lot of extant pockets from this time period were made of plain materials—or pieced together with scraps. That’s all fine and dandy, because as we all know, nobody’s going to see them under all those other layers! But why make plain pockets when you could make fancy ones? Why make something boring when you could make it Glam Rock themed? After all, if my 1770’s English Gown is going to be Bowie-esque, why not my pockets?
