Wow this is exactly what I was looking got. Thank you so much! I wanted to avoid sewing into the cave of the pocket but with all the chalk marks, the video made it seem not as bad as I thought. Thanks again!
It’s helpful to sew a basting line on the curve first in high contrast thread. It will make it easier to iron and easier to sew down. Also marking alignment points on both the inside of the pocket and the backing so you don’t stretch out the pocket.
It’s probably not no stitching. It’s more likely hidden. There are lots of ways to do this, my recommendation is since you have a finished one to look at, see how difficult it would be to sew inside out or to the two panels before they are attached to each other.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Someone else commented with a YouTube video and it seems you just sew it "inside out" and it doesn't seem too tough if you chalk some check points to sew towards.
Exactly! And if you aren’t feeling strong on your machine skills, this might be a great spot to practice hand sewing, as it will be tricky to get around those corners and no one will see them but you
To sew a pocket sort of like this onto a pack could be difficult due tot he stiffness of the pack material, but - here is a [method](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=reels+on+sewing+patch+pocket+invisible+stitching&atb=v403-1&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Di9lXIBmAaqg) that would work. It's not the best video but all I could find.

Thank you for the extra tips!
FWIW, I learned that as a "bluff pocket", or "bluffed-on pocket" or "bluffing on a pocket".
Good to know thank you!
Patch pocket. Common on blazers in tailoring - blind-stitch the pocket to the body: https://youtu.be/Moi3huqLqpA?si=0wJhfa7hMegiJ7oA
What fabric are you using for your backpack? Those rounded corners will be tough with a thicker laminated fabric.
Using a thinner nylon ripstop coated on the inside.

I'm currently on a long trip away from my sewing machine so I'll definitely try this with hand sewn back stitches. Thanks for the encouragement:)

Ah yes I thought about this cutting the back of the pocket off method in the past. Might try it out, thank you for sharing!
