Sewing A Tight Corner Pocket

Recommended Posts

I want to do some outside pockets much like these on a bag i bought in Thailand.

What i can't do is find a way to sew those tight corners.

Do you sew from the inside or outside?

The foot on my Highlead flatbed machine is too big it seems and i can't turn the corner without it getting in the way.

Do you need a very small foot?

Is a flatbed not ideal?

What's the trick to physically manage the 2 pieces when turning the corner?

I also have a Seiko CH-8B (441 style) but i can't see how this machine would make it any easier either.

also, how do you burnish the edges on thin leather like they have done rather nicely?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Can't speak for the machine or how to sew it with one but the edges look like they are rolled. There are a couple tutorials somewhere on the site on how to do them. Search for "rolled edge" and it should come up.
