To "burrito" or not to “burrito". Enclosing YOKE seams 4 WAYS. UNSEEN EASIER LATERAL methods.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ส.ค. 2024
- A Yoke is a beautiful feature that blouses, shirts & jackets have and some patterns will have you cut two yoke pieces and enclose the seams with a "burrito roll" method. Some patterns will have a single layer and its a shame.... but you can cut two :)
Today I am sharing alternative techniques to achieve the same beautiful neat result. You can choose different ways to approach this step according to fabric choice, shoulder details and preference.
Come on over and see 4 sewing techniques up close:
00:00 Intro
06:41 1. Burrito roll sewing the back seam first (pleat or gathers on the back)
13:22 2. Burrito roll sewing the shoulder seams first
19:51 3. Lateral enclosing sewing the back seam first (no burrito)
23:55 4. Lateral enclosing sewing the shoulder seams first (no burrito)
Patterns Mentioned:
Simplicity 8216
Mc Calls 8031
Matilda dress (Megan Nielsen)
Mila Shirt (Itch to Stitch)
Cindy Jacket (Style Arc)
Some makes have not been featured on the channel yet! stay tuned to see one of them tomorrow.

Another really useful video.....I can't imagine why these technique videos are less popular - I find it useful to see different ways of doing something. Even if you aren't going to use the technique straight away, you remember that you've seen the video and can go back to it when you do need it. Thanks very much.
I’ve proved it over and over. But over time the views pick up a little. I still love making them for those who like them and I can reference to them in the future.
Great demonstrations. Also, I can’t wait for your new fitting videos! You are the BEST!!
Love this kind of teaching content. Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome 😀😀
Thank you for showing alternate options, this video is so helpful and clear 👍.
Personally, I love these types of videos and this was such a help. You explain things so well and like you, I think a finished yolk just ups the game on your blouses and shirts. Thanks as always for your time putting these together for us.
It’s feels nicer on the skin too. It’s just a better look :)
It is so great to have options. Thanks
It sure is :)
I always avoided yoke designs in the past. No longer. Easy to follow and understand yoke techniques. And this video is now in my special SAVED folder.
That makes me very happy! Yokes are lovely.
Years ago when I started sewing my husband’s shirts my mother showed me your lateral method. Instead of trying to get the bottom of the yoke seam pulled through to one side she told me to do half from one side then pull it back out then do the other half from the other side matching the seam up in the middle. This works well with stiffer material rather than trying to get it all out on the one side. Thanks so much for sharing all the different methods. I get sew much from your videos and love what you make.
This content is just what I needed see. Thankyou x
This was so helpful thank you!
You're so welcome!
Please keep doing them! I get some many useful techniques that are so helpful!!
More to come! I try to mix the type of content and I really love making these.
You are a great teacher! Thank you
Very interesting techniques. I love that fabric!! Thank you for taking the time to share your talents.
Another great video! Thank you!
You’re very welcome :)
What a great video. Thank you for your generosity.
So happy to share.
Thank you Karina a great video making such a lot of sense which I couldn’t get my head around before. 😀
Fabulous demonstration and well explained
Very good. I struggled with the burrito method. I will come back to this when I have another enclosed yoke to do. Thank you for filming these.
Glad it was helpful! it'll help when you need it :)
Thanks! Helpful as always.
You’re very welcome :)
Wonderful vlog some people are just not ready for the more advanced work . It is nothing to do with not liking, you are such a good teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I know not every video will be what people want to see but I know these do help the fewer that really are interested in exploring sewing a little deeper. I also love sharing :)
Really helpful instructions! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us!
Thank you so much. Your videos are awesome
Thanks you ever so much 😀
Thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge! This video is awesome!❤️❤️❤️
I love this type of video because I usually don't have the same patterns as you, but these techniques are universal.
I’d you look a little deeper, most of what I share can be applied to other projects too. Not just what I use to demonstrate :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles thanks Karina, I know that lol. I just meant to refer to your statement that these types of videos do more poorly in regards to views than your other videos. I don't buy a lot of patterns so I'm not more likely to watch a video on a specific pattern than a specific construction technique. I understand that the tips, tricks, and techniques that you share in all of your videos can be used universally. I'm sorry that I didn't express myself more clearly😁
Thank you, Karina.
You do a wonderful job on these kinds of videos... thank you for showing these techniques... I can think of at least 3 patterns I have now that I will try this while making...blessings
That’s amazing and I hope you enjoy them.
Thank you as always full of great information. Look forward to more sewing goodness.
More to come!
Thank you so much for making that clearer! Thank you for all your hard work too, I really enjoy learning from you xx
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for these tutorials. This information is really helping me to elevate my sewing skills. Your channel is super clear with the best content.
You mentioned this sort of video gets the least views. Please don’t stop giving us this level of detail.
Wow. Thank you so very much
You are so welcome
I love this content. I appreciate all your hard work!!! Thank you!!!
I appreciate that!
Always learning from your videos. Thank you Karina. xx
You are so welcome!
I discovered the burrito method a few years go, and it was a game changer. I can remember hand sewing or top stitching yokes in the past. 😔
I like these type of videos as you can apply them to so many patterns . I refer to them constantly and have many favourites e.g neck and sleeve bindings , fitting , and mashes of patterns . It’s a great library of techniques . I have learnt so much from your tutorials .
Thank you Karina. I've been intrigued by the burrito method, you have slayed it for us. Piece of cake following your lead!
Yay! Have fun with your yokes :)
The “lateral enclosing” is excellent! Thank you!!
Great job as usual ❤️
Thank you so much ☺️
Karina I so appreciate these teaching videos. You are such a treasure to the online sewing community and especially to those of us who are just learning. Last fall I tried to sew the Love Notions Rhapsody. It was a fail due to poor fabric choice. However, I was able to sew the yoke correctly. Yay! I plan on giving the pattern another go now that I have more experience and understand a bit more about fabrics. I will be referencing this video when I sew the yoke. In my mind I’m much more accomplished than I actually am!🤣
So much more understandable than any other videos I have seen. Thank you ❤
Thank you for a clear, detailed video. I've used the burrito method many times, but always on button down shirts. I was never sure if it was possible on a pull-over shirt (and too lazy to make a mock-up and try it). Your sample looks like a pull-over, and as I suspected, you can just turn everything through the armholes. Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Jepp, I snaped this last method from an earlier video. Been used with good results. Works great, thanks :-) Don't mind the "quality" of your older videos, btw, it's the content that matters. Love going back to watch :-)
That green floral.is soooooo pretty. Your examples are so timely. Thanks.
Thank you so much :)
Thanks. This video is the best explanation I have seen so far.
Awesome! Thank you
Thank you for this clear explanation. I really enjoy your channel.
I try my best to make things clear. Thank you so much 😄
Hi karina
I know it’s a few months down but I have only just seen your vid. This method is also how I have “adapted “ the burrito method. It just make sense. It works. Thanks for validating to me that this is ok to do. Lol.
Thank you. Am going to try this tomorrow for Perfect Tunic by wardrobe.🤞
As usual a great tutorial. I do enjoy watching your show.
Thank you so much 🙂
Excellent tutorial...you made it so clear and I love having a choice now .... thank you
Choices are the best. I’m glad this helps :)
Thank you for this video...I will return to watch it next time I sew a yoked garment. I prefer very finished seams. ❤️
Finished neatly inside is always so nice. Thanks for watching 😊.
Thank you for this informative video. I have used the last method for many years because I didn't know that there was a correct way to do it. Thank you for showing the correct method and the alternative method. Regards Christine 🙋♀️🇦🇺👍🏻🤔😍😘
I don’t think there is a “correct” way. There are just different ways to do things. The burrito seems to be what you see in instructions but it does not make it the only way and all the other ways wrong as such :)
I'm going back to my old patterns with yokes. Simplicity 8973 from 1999- Simplicity 5801 from 2002- and McCall's 3393 from 2001. It's been a long time since I did a blouse with a yoke, so I thought I'd look up some videos.
I am working on a kwik sew pattern from the 80's and i could not understand the yoke instructions which is the last example you showed! Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video. I needed this information a lot.
You’re very welcome :)
Perfect! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Great teaching video. I had figured out a couple of these methods but hadn't taken the time to explore the possibilites of more. You take all the mystic out of the process and make it accessible to all who sew their own clothes. Thank you.
Again an excellent teaching video!!!! Love the variety of different ways.
I’m in bed sick this morning watching you teach me new techniques. I realize a lot of people don’t find technique videos as “entertaining,” but I disagree. I think learning something new is quite entertaining.
Another fabulous tutorial from you! Thanks for all the wonderful tips & techniques.
For the 1st time, I did the Ballad Blouse using your lateral method. It was so easy! I know I would not be having the success I am having if it was not for your videos. Thank you!
I really appreciate and enjoy your technique videos. It is really amazing that you have such an extensive catalogue of online tutorials that you can mine them for specific techniques like how to sew a yoke in different ways. When I first learned to sew (and even now) I used sewing pattern instructions like training wheels. I am not ready to take them off completely! I really appreciate that you open viewers' eyes to other methods of finishing seams beyond what are listed in the sewing pattern instructions. Thank you!
I think instructions are important but slowly there are things you see there that you might remember doing differently and that’s when little changes start happening :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Absolutely! After I learned about mitred corners from your videos, I now take time to read instructions and plan to include them where I can. Another great finish! I love these skill builder videos!
Thanks Karina
What EXCELLENT tutorials! Thank you! And i also love your taste in fabric!
Thank you!
Thank you
You’re very welcome :)
I have used the burrito method successfully, but it is not intuitive as you say. I love that your lateral method makes sense of the burrito method. Thank you for another great video.
The burrito needs concentration and paying attention to what is right sides with what... all of that. The lateral way really does not, that's why I find it easier :)
I love the painting in the background. Great video as usual.
Thank you very much! my mum painted it for me :)
Amazing. Definitely using your method going forward!
I hope you like it :)
Another excellent video!
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for sharing your wonderful technique, I now feel confident to try a yoke garment 🥰💖
I have used your "lateral" method to sew the lining in a jacket at the arm cuff and it really helps get your mind wrapped around what it is supposed to look like. Thanks for sharing!
I have been using that last method for lining yokes for years, long before the burrito method became popular. I never knew of any specific name for the method, so will be happy to use your term 'laterals. Great video!
Same here. Since the 90s and the burrito came later :)
Thank you Karina, I can no longer hand sew very well. Either method will be very handy. Love your tutorials. Excellent work 👍
Perfect timing ! I am currently sewing a shirt / light jacket with a collar and yoke . The instructions were so confusing, actually they confused me so much ! I am glad I like to baste as otherwise I would have had to unpick machine stitches so many times ! I will be Trying yr method and I am sure I will finally get there !
Thank you 🙏. Great tutorial 😍
I hope these 4 ways help. You’ll get there 😀
Thank you so much , these videos are so helpful . I learned already so much from you 😘💐👍🏼
Great info!! Love double yokes enclosed of course! Loving all your content!!
Awesome! Thank you! Its hard for me to leave a yoke on its own :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I feel it's unfinished if it isn't doubled.
Exactly:)
Very helpful video. I don’t understand why they don’t do well. I like the chance to learn more things and having a choice of techniques to make sewing easier. I think double yokes always look classier and more finished.
Quick shout out - I’ve been gifted a huge amount of jersey fabric, but it’s mostly 4-way stretch. Any suggestions for good Indie patterns pls? 🙂
Sinclair patterns has loads of great knit patterns :)
As always a plethora of useful information! Thank you Karina for taking time to teach so many different methods. I truly enjoy your channel ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! I've been watching your videos for a while now. I am definitely staying with you when it comes to sewing. You do wonderful work and I'm learning a lot. I keep seeing "patreon" now and again on your videos. Can you please tell me what this means and maybe where I could find it? Thank you so much for taking the time making all your videos for us. Gratefully appreciated!
@@honeywell891 PATREON: for ongoing monthly support you receive exclusive posts, videos and full sew alongs from me www.patreon.com/liftingpinsandneedles there are 3 tiers and you can find all the information on my page. You can leave at any time too.
What you are calling the lateral method, I agree is the easiest way. I do things the same way alot.
Awesome. It really is easier :)
Such a good video, Karina! I , too , love these techniques sessions and hope you continue to give us them, they are much appreciated! I have made the Sew me Something Helena dress which uses your “lateral” technique to achieve a clean finish on the yoke and back neckline. It was quite difficult for me to understand from the line drawing in the instructions but I got there in the end. A video explanation is so much easier to learn from. Thank you.
I'm glad you saw this in a pattern and I wish this way was more popular. I really do find it easier :)
Hi Karina what a great video I love the selection of tops the colours are beautiful.I have just made three shirts for the husband using the Tropical pattern by Wardrobe each time no matter how many times I check the pleats have come out the wrong way round could it be because I have pulled it through the neck and not the armhole. I will definitely give your version a go great tutorial as usual.
Oye maybe got to do with if you are making them from the right or wrong side. In any case. Pleats can be in any direction so there is no “wrong pleat”
With yokes, I have another technique. Mine will leave a visible seam.
Sew either the shoulders or back as a sandwich first. Then sew only the front piece(s) to the other side of the yoke.
On the inside, the shoulders or back will be loose unfinished. Tuck the raw edge(s) under by the same amount as the seam. Pin to the seam.
You can sew by hand (whip stitch) or machine stitch in the ditch to close the layers together.
I hope you understand what I am trying to explain.
Thank you! This will work well on the gusset of undies too. Really, really appreciate this content. I am changing patterns often now because of your videos.
It sure would and it being a tiny area, it would be so easy :)
Very nice summary! I like to see the previous garments, too, anyway. I have seen your "lateral enclosing" pull-through method in one other place, but I can't remember. The person didn't give it a name, it was just something like "Step 11...do this..." If I recall rightly (big "if"), he used that technique to enclose the armscye seams of a lined sleeveless top. He pulled laterally the top seams to the front, stitched to where the fabric was bundled too tight, then pulled through to the other direction (back) and stitched the other parts. In his photos it looked very good. My version looked super wacky. (Btw, I am disappointed in Chrome's spellchecker, that it underlines "armscye".)
The "lateral enclosing" is what I've done for decades, and it does make more sense to me. Love it for little areas and it can work in other areas of garments too. Seems like the burrito is all you see in pattern instructions though :)
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I think it's the catchy, yummy name. :D
Ha ha
Hi Karinna can I please request you to do a video showing the Orchid midi showing how to do exposed casing with elastic and ribbon, please
Hi Jeannette. I can’t take specific video requests, especially considering that I already have 2 videos that feature the Orchid midi dress on the channel.
Thank you Karinna. I love your video's and the way you explain sewing steps is outstanding!
I finally had a chance to try the burrito method. Love it! If you are adding sleeves I am guessing your serge or sew them in as you normally would. is that correct? Thank you.
Yes, the sleeves don't interfere with anything-
Any tips on the tucks on the Xanthe dress it’s so confusing? Do I do two rows of stitching or one thanks
Hi Karina love your videos. Hope this question is not too specific if it is I understand. I was wondering which method might be best for a pattern with a double yoke, one at the front and one at the back, such as the Sagebrush Top by Friday Pattern Co. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos.
The sagebrush seems to only have a double yoke in the front. The back yoke is a single layer. I’d sew the front seam that has the gathers in between first and then the shoulders. You are only doing the burrito in the front.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles ok. Thank you so much!
Can we use any of the affiliate links in your videos at any time? Or are the links only valid for the pattern being presented?
The links are valid at any time :) Whenever you want 😀.
Maybe you can help me. I want to make a Juliet Top by Love Notions and I understand they have bust options but wandering how would do bust adjustment for DD. Thanks so much
I would not do anything further than use the full bust piece. I would if it was a woven pattern but for a knit, you’ll be ok.
How do you add sleeves using the same methods on your videos
I’m not sure what you are asking in the context of this yoke video. The yokes don’t interfere with the sleeves at all.
@@LiftingPinsandNeedles I am wanting to add sleeves in a lined bodice top but not using the burrito method
Sorry I may have not made myself clear I have been watching all your videos on vnecklines woven and knit fabrics series and I wanted to add sleeves to a lined vneck top without a neck band but not sure at what stage I add the sleeves if it has a lining I hope I am making sense hard to explain
Great video!!!
Just one question : do theenclosed seams need to be serged?
Thks
Depends on the fabric but generally no. I’d only serge fabric that frays terribly.
Thks for answering !
Love your videos 😊
I am just doing the pimpante blouse and I am lost can you help ?
Hi, I’m not able to offer free or paid one on one consulting. I’m not even familiar with the pattern you are mentioning. There’s no way I can help you via messages here in a good way.
Your lateral method actually IS traditional. It is what most people did before the burrito roll method was invented.
That’s how I did it when I started sewing. Seems like no one does it anymore.
Thank you so much for showing us these techniques to finishing yoke seams, they make such a difference to the finished garment. ✂️🧵😊💕
