I’m a self-learning seamster. One of the areas I’ve struggled with are facings, interfacing and linings. I’ve been stuck (mentally) on an interfacing issue for a month now. I happened to stumble upon this video. It was exactly what I needed. I actually yelled out loud when I found it. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
72 years old and I have avoided this type of interfacing because I have ruined so many fabrics in the past, and opted for hand sewing. This is the most innovative technique I've ever come across. Your video was so well done, easy to follow and the instructions are so clear. Thank you. 5*****
I can't thank you enough for this video! My mother accepted a dress request from a friend of my older brother... and asked me to finish it. Your video has saved me! It has interfacing and I have never dealt with inter facing before! THANK YOU !!!!
Easy to understand, clearly explained. I hate those videos where someone spends hours (or so it seems) just waffling away, talking absolute rubbish just because they like the sound of their own voices ! like they're auditioning for the X-Factor or something !
Thanks to this video, I was able to finish a "simple" dress that was absolutely confounding me! I will, from now on, ALWAYS do my facings this way! Thank you, thank you!!!!
Oh mon dieu...merci pour cette vidéo...j' ai failli ne pas la regarder ne comprenant pas suffisamment l anglais mais quand j' ai vu la 1ere image, ça m'a rappelé un modèle de robe pour petite fille qui m ' avait fait "attraper des sueurs froides"... Donc j' ai regardé et là... OMG...c est si simple quand on connaît la bonne technique !!😄😄merci merci...je vais pouvoir utiliser cette technique, la finition est si jolie comme ça....un grand merci pour votre partage 🙏
I once made 23 girl scout uniforms usinf these methods...a life saver. We went from the group no one wanted ro join to rhe group everyone eveeyone wantes ro join almost over NIGHT. Suxh a riny amount of fabric and a few nights work brought such joy
Absolutely fantastic tutorial thank you so very much! My garment is now finished after seeing this and I am one very happy bunny! Thank you once again!!!!!!!
What a superb video. Clearly and succinctly explained and demonstrated. You’ve made, what has been for me, a baffling,challenging technique utterly achievable. Thank you.
Awesome❤😊❣ You helped me to remember how to do these steps🥰❤😊❣ Thank You For Sharing With All Of Us. Sending Love, Hugs and Blessings to you and your Family and your TH-cam Family ❤ Xoxo Vicki from the State of Utah ❤😊❣
Thank you so much for this very useful helpful and informative video. Question: why can't armhole and neck be under stitched prior to turning through? Looking forward to your explanation. Thanks
This video suddenly, randomly popping up gives me the answer to how i am going to finish a project that I put on hold because I did not want to do the neckline on a pattern that I created to duplicate many times.
This information is so helpful I had to sew a facing such as this and I got so frustrated I did not even put the facing on. I end up making a collar that pulled down and lamps over my shoulders which I end up making up myself but this would been very helpful in figuring out what I kept doing wrong and why I couldn't get that inside facing on, thank you.
Thank you for saying so! Lots more tutorials on ThreadsMagazine.com. If you'd like to support our work so we can continue making awesome sewing videos, please consider becoming a member. It's only $59.95 for the year (less than $5/month!)
This is so helpful. I just made a dress where the instructions were to sew and attach first the front panels & facing and then the back panels & facing, and finally, attach front and back, but I couldn’t follow the instructions at all and I tried to make the shoulder seams neat, without a lot of success. Intuitively this makes so much more sense.
Awesome!! I will try it for the first time. Please tell me what's the name of that white paper you use? Sorry but I am not an expert but love seeing sawing tutorials . Thank you and congratulations!!👏👏👏
This is a lovely tutorial. Was making a dress but stuck at this point. Thank you so much. But i do have a query. When u mentioned give understitch to the facing as far as you can. I didnt get that. Wish that was illustrated too. Thanks again.
Love the simplicity of this tutorial. I intend to keep this as my guide. Thank you so much for this. Your presentation is clear and that is very important to me.
I finally get it! It's nice to see the different stages in real time. Do you have a tutorial of how to insert a zip into a dress or top please. I can't seem to master the technique. Thank you for teaching.👏👏
Had done this on a dress bodice (zipped back) but not on a tank style....brilliant! Going to sew the GBSB tunic top but with out the zip, so this tutorial is invaluable...thank you! 💐
I've seen this a couple of times. Once, a few Yeats ago, it was explained. Recently, I saw it explained by a Latina seamstress. I haven't grasped all of the sewing vocabulary, so it was difficult. I really understand it now. I like dresses and knit tank tops. Thanks.
I am so jealous! You have my favorite sewing machine! Mine has the gears stripped and can no longer be fixed. Great video by the way! It really helped me figure out what I needed to do!
very very informative and straight forward tutorial. Thanks for sharing this, I have been wondering how this facing is being done. I can now finish my sleeveless dresses professionally. thumb up! ☺
With a serger, this should all go faster. Thank you for this clear video. It will make nice garments of different sizes. Without fondness for DIY time consuming needed bias tape, your patterns skips it!. My back piece will be extended so center closure can omit a zipper. Blessings 2 U!
What if you have facing and lining to sew to the bodice? Do you do the same steps but keep the facing sandwiched between the bodice and lining? Please help
So I imagine this works for sewing a sleeveless dress with a full lining? That's pretty cool and was new to me. I've been trying to figure this out for a while.
How would you finish the edges of the back opening? The opening is only 3 inches long and closes with a button at the back neckline of a child's dress. Like a letter V at the back neckline of the dress. I've been using this video ever since I found it a few years ago to face all sleeveless, collarless bodices with no openings. Thank you!
Someone with a genius brain has figured this out. Even with me watching this well done video am I able to comprehend this on the first try. Believe me, I'm going to make a garment just so that I can achieve this method. Who are these people with these genius brains when most of us just keep stumbling along while trying our best?? Now if they could also help stop global warming and stupid wars.
I used this technique with one of my patterns and the top came out perfectly. I needed to watch the video a few times then it just clicked and I knew what to do, this is the great thing about TH-cam. One question, do you have the name and pattern number for the tops which you made ? Thks
This is a fantastic video, but I need help with drafting the facing and can't seem to find a video. I don't want to use a commercial pattern for my bodice.
I Love Love Love this technique!! I am actually using it specifically for joining the lining and shoulders of my fabric grocery totes. I pretty much have the technique conquered. The only problem I am having is making it look neat and even at the seam line where the shoulders join. I don't know if its due to bulk or what. Can you please show how to do this up close. Thanks.
Hi! I am super confused. Why is the back on some of the fabric pink and some white? I thought you were cutting another piece of the same fabric for the facing..... I'm just learning how to make my own clothes and have just started on tops and I am lost! This looks great and I would love to incorporate it. The first shirt I am starting is one with a yoke.... I think that's correct. Well it looks exactly like what you are doing. Thank you guys in advance!:) I believe it is interfacing.....

as someone who's also (mostly) a self learning, I totally agree facings are difficult.
And it works like a charm.Ive done it many times and it always produces excellent results.

Can I just say you have CHANGED MY WORLD! This technique will make my little dresses for Africa so much better! Thank You so much!
I can't thank you enough for this video! My mother accepted a dress request from a friend of my older brother... and asked me to finish it. Your video has saved me! It has interfacing and I have never dealt with inter facing before! THANK YOU !!!!

Excellently explained. No extra best friend rubbish. Just clear instructions. Thank you.
Thanks to this video, I was able to finish a "simple" dress that was absolutely confounding me! I will, from now on, ALWAYS do my facings this way! Thank you, thank you!!!!
This is the best tutorial on the burrito method to turn a faced bodice I've seen yet - thank you!!
Oh mon dieu...merci pour cette vidéo...j' ai failli ne pas la regarder ne comprenant pas suffisamment l anglais mais quand j' ai vu la 1ere image, ça m'a rappelé un modèle de robe pour petite fille qui m ' avait fait "attraper des sueurs froides"...

Years later, I still go back to this. It's perfect and really shows the method.

You help me to solve the mystery of installing All-in-One facing. Thank you very very very much! Your tutorial video is very clear and easy to follow!
I once made 23 girl scout uniforms usinf these methods...a life saver. We went from the group no one wanted ro join to rhe group everyone eveeyone wantes ro join almost over NIGHT. Suxh a riny amount of fabric and a few nights work brought such joy
I do recommend Threads Video to all sewers I know because they are the best!
Absolutely fantastic tutorial thank you so very much! My garment is now finished after seeing this and I am one very happy bunny! Thank you once again!!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic video, I had no idea I could do it without the back seam. Game changer!
Thank you so much for this very useful helpful and informative video. Question: why can't armhole and neck be under stitched prior to turning through? Looking forward to your explanation. Thanks
This video suddenly, randomly popping up gives me the answer to how i am going to finish a project that I put on hold because I did not want to do the neckline on a pattern that I created to duplicate many times.
Thank you for this tutorial. For years i have been learning sewing i have great difficulty sewing facing like this one. Thanks a million.
I love this technique. It comes out very smooth and hangs perfectly.
thank you very much for the fantastic tutorial now I do understand better how neck and armhole are done in an easier way
This is what I was looking for . Beautifully explained .
Still one of the best video I've see. Thank you
This information is so helpful I had to sew a facing such as this and I got so frustrated I did not even put the facing on. I end up making a collar that pulled down and lamps over my shoulders which I end up making up myself but this would been very helpful in figuring out what I kept doing wrong and why I couldn't get that inside facing on, thank you.
Now that second technique is one I have never seen before! Very nice, thank you.
I’m so glad I watched this. I never thought of using the burrito method. Thank so much.
2:47 Genius technique!! Soo generous sharing this information😍

Ich finde dieses Video super... So habe ich noch nie die Kanten versaäubert.. Geniale Idee. vielen lieben Dank.. Gibt es dies auch on deutsch??????
This is so helpful.

Wonderful. Explained so beautifully and succinctly with no waffle. Thank you .
Beautiful sewing and lovely cloth
Why has it taken me this long to find these tutorials. Wow.

Does this work with knitted fabric also?
I tried this and it really worked ... Great video
This is by far the best tutorial for this topic! Thanks a lot
I finally get it! It's nice to see the different stages in real time. Do you have a tutorial of how to insert a zip into a dress or top please. I can't seem to master the technique. Thank you for teaching.👏👏

Can you share a pattern for this top? It is just beautiful, exactly what I am looking for
This is exactly what I was looking for and thought I would not find it. Thank you!
you made it look soo simple...now it's my turn...thank you!!
I am so jealous! You have my favorite sewing machine! Mine has the gears stripped and can no longer be fixed. Great video by the way! It really helped me figure out what I needed to do!
Brilliant!! You have just inspired me to go and sew a summer top, even though it's winter here. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this! I have a nice UK pattern, but I either lost the instructions or it didn't come with any. Now I'm sewing :)
Great tutorial but I would love if you made note as to where some of these beautiful pieces of materials were purchased.
Great work. Thanks a lot. It's very useful to my children's frocks
Please help me out how to cut a facing. Are there different methods of cutting facings?

It will make nice garments of different sizes. Without fondness for DIY
time consuming needed bias tape, your patterns skips it!. My back piece
will be extended so center closure can omit a zipper. Blessings 2 U!
In UK we call this the 'burrito' method; lovely tutorial!
What if you have facing and lining to sew to the bodice? Do you do the same steps but keep the facing sandwiched between the bodice and lining? Please help
Would this method work if I lined the full length? Instead of just sewing a interfacing?
Thank you, I love how easy you make this
Great tutorial! I was wondering how to sew a nice finish to woven fabrics.
this is the best tutorial I have yet to see for a lining, THANK YOU!
You're welcome! Lots more tutorials on ThreadsMagazine.com!
This is so helpful. I prefer this than bias binding
So I imagine this works for sewing a sleeveless dress with a full lining? That's pretty cool and was new to me. I've been trying to figure this out for a while.
Thank you . This is going to change my life.
I'm working on an eyelet sleeveless shift dress, could I do this for the entire length of the lining?
Mighty clever! This is the first time I've seen this technique! Wish I had known several botched garments ago... lol
Thanks a lot!! How can apply this in a dress with sleeves? Please reply soon
You don't need facings on the armhole edge on a dress with sleeves, so you wouldn't need this method.
Short and simple! Loved the video.
How would you finish the edges of the back opening? The opening is only 3 inches long and closes with a button at the back neckline of a child's dress. Like a letter V at the back neckline of the dress. I've been using this video ever since I found it a few years ago to face all sleeveless, collarless bodices with no openings. Thank you!

There are 359 would-be professional sewers who gave 👎🏽thumb down critique to this wonderful lesson. Their loss!
what pattern is this based off? I would love a simple top pattern like this. thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
Amazing thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! I can’t wait to try it.
I was having trouble withe this kind of dress pattern and this video help me how to ...thank you ..wonderful teaching
Absolutely fantastic. I can't believe that I've not seen this before.
Excellent video. Congratulations
This was really great and easy to follow
BrillIant tutorial. Simple and clear thank you.
This is a fantastic video, but I need help with drafting the facing and can't seem to find a video. I don't want to use a commercial pattern for my bodice.
Thank you! I hate doing bias binding so much (as much as it looks awesome) so I'm totally gonna try this technique next time.
I really appreciate this video. You made a short, easy to follow tutorial.
Does this work well with stretch fabric?
Thank you so much. This is brilliant!!! save me lots of time and energy
Me encanta!! He tenido que verlo dos veces porque me parecía imposible. Gracias.
I Love Love Love this technique!! I am actually using it specifically for joining the lining and shoulders of my fabric grocery totes. I pretty much have the technique conquered.

I did this so many years ago that forget how to do it so was fantastic to seeing it again thank you
Thanks a lot! it was very helpful! Can you show how to finish the blouse with facing at a zipper part?
I’m looking for that too. Have you finally found it? Because I haven’t found one yet
Can this be done with a stretch fabric as well?
This video is so helpful! thank you for sharing it.
Yes. This is the way to install a whole facing. This is correctly explained.
Thank you. This is a game changer. I understand how to make a smooth and perfect bodice.
Thank you. May i know if i can apply the same method with full lining?
Harriet Graham my question also!
I'm so glad I found this tutorial.
Very easy and useful technique...going to try it 😊 thankyou 😇😇
