Bespoke Tailoring - Bespoke clothing is traditionally cut from a pattern drafted from scratch for the customer, and so differs from ready-to-wear, which is factory made in finished condition and standardised sizes, and from made to measure, which is produced to order from an adjusted block pattern.

Step 2 – Transfer the markings to the W.S. of the main fabric using pattern master/set square.
Step 3 – On the W.S. of main fabric, fold the linen in half and place the folded edge along the marked line; make sure the linen is centred with the marked line. Open the linen and baste it with the main fabric on its straight middle
Step 4 – On the R.S. of main fabric, place the 2 fillets R.S. down, and flush with the marked and basted placement line. Diagonally baste the two fillets in place.
Step 5 – Machine stitch the 2 fillets at half-foot space away from placement line.
*Stitch size 1.5-2: the smaller stitch size ensures the accuracy of stitch line’s beginning and ending.
**Start both stitch lines of the 2 fillets from the same direction to minimise and match any fabric movement occurring during sewing.
Step 5 – Cont.
***It was helpful to have the fillet pinned down closer to the placement line for the sewing.  
Step 5 – Cont.
 It is very important that the ends of the two stitch lines on both fillets are directly aligned.
Otherwise, it will result in the sides of the finished pocket being slanted and the whole effect will be unprofessional.
Step 6 – On the W.S. of main fabric, beginning at the centre and slash through the linen and main fabric DO NOT cut into the fillets at any points. From 1cm away from marked end/beginning, cut the prongs to as close as possible to the last stitches of either stitch lines. Overshooting the stitches will result in holes on the main fabric. Undercutting will cause puckers.
Step 7 – Pull the top fillet to the W.S. of the main fabric; press open the fillet fabric versus the main fabric and linen. Do the same for the lower fillet. 
Step 8 – On the R.S. of main fabric, evenly baste the stitch lines of the piping. While basting, work the folded edges to achieve desired result which means the perfect and flush meetings of the 2 folded edges at the middle.
Step 9 – On the R.S. of main fabric, cover the work with pressing cloth, stream press the pocket using a tailor ham. 
Step 10 – Diagonally baste across the piping to keep them from shifting while working on the rest.
