I used a Craftsy class to make a Chanel style jacket and skirt. I have just enough tweed to make a sheath dress and I have chosen a boat neck lined pattern. This is absolutely perfect for installing the lining with a beautiful finish, and I just want to thank you for sharing all your knowledge and skills. I will use this technique for my dress.
Thank you for teaching us what no one else ever has! This is the first moment I watched one of your videos and I'm amazed. Maybe FINALLY, my seams/corners/etc. will turn out better.
Thank you for this fantastic video! I am so intrigued by excellent sewing techniques. I’ve been sewing 60 years and was never taught how to make clothes look so beautiful and professional !
Are you using a thicker thread for the pick stitching? Like a 30 wt thread used for buttonholes or topstitching? What brand and what is the fabric content? polyester, cotton, silk or a combo? When you mentioned a finer thread for sewing in the lining, did you mean something like a 50-60 wt? Or even finer? Does it depend on the fabric you're working with, what type of thread you use? That is, cotton or silk, etc.? And that goes for fineness as well? I discovered you years and years ago through Threads magazine. I haven't done much garment sewing in decades but I do remember being taught in the 1960's about stay stitching, under stitching, underlining and the like and you'd always see it in the patterns of the time. It was just how you did things back then. It's so lovely to see these techniques explained in such detail -- extremely helpful refresher for older sewists and to illustrate to the newer ones if you want something to last and wear well, it's worth it to take the time to build a good infrastructure. Thank you!
@@kdknycа я на ютюбі постійно чомусь вчуся так, як я самоучка, але такого досконалого відео ще не зустрічала, дякую, що ділитеся такими важливими моментами... ❤❤❤❤
Is the organza stay stitching a technique that could be used on other neck lines in general? Your work and your attention to detail are impeccable and very inspiring.
A very ingenious way to use organza,correct me if i am wrong, but does streatching the organza under hot steam change its fibres memory when you curve this strip, heat, pull and cool ?
Great video! I’m a new fashion studies student with lots of sewing experience, just not in clothing construction. I’m starting my first construction class next semester, so I’ve been trying to find tips on excellent construction and finishing to prepare. You do beautiful work. Just one question. Would you sew the shoulder and side seams of the body pieces and lining before or after joining them as you illustrated in the video?
Kenneth: As I am coming to the party late, and perhaps missed your explanation for this: why silk organza is stitched to the wool - then you are adding a lining? I have so much to learn! Thank you. KA
If you watched the entire video, you would see that we stretched the organa boas strips before sewing to the wool, to stay the edge. Then the lining went on. A question: Where did you get the link for this video?
To answer your question regarding the silk organza that lays on the back of the wool,this is called underlining. It helps to stabilize the fabric, the bias strips of organza stabilize the seam lines and the lining covers up all these innards and lays against the body. The silk organza underlining provides a lovely feel to the wool and helps it to not ‘bag’ out. Look up underlining for more information.
Mr. King! Does the underlining need to be natural silk fabric? Here in Brazil, most stores only sell polyester organza and call it "silky touch" and it's very rare to get the real silk organza.
