I've been sewing for a very long time and never once thought about attaching a facing like this -- thank you so much for sharing these methods. I agree that the finished result is beautiful!
Thank you! I have been trying to remember if I learned this from you or one of the ladies at the Fabric Stash. I know is was soon after college. I would give credit if I could remember!
I saw this technique on a tutorial of sewing a mens camp shirt for attaching the collar. I do this for my husbands camp shirts. It’s so professional looking.
I have been trying to remember who taught it to me. It was either my sister or one of the ladies at the Fabric Stash way back in the 90's. I do love the method, though.
I recently got a second camera and tripod! I have been holding my phone for close up for years. It took a while to save up. Hopefully it will help with the movement issues.
Greatly appreciate these wonderful tricks - will really reduce my “interfacing anxiety”! And I have to laugh that every time I watch a seamstress on YT doing a nice, close-up sewing video - I rotate my iPad in synch with what I’m watching, as if it were a piece of fabric being stitched!!!!
Thank you! I can see exactly what you mean about turning your Ipad. 😀 Just natural for a sewist. Check back in and let me know how your interfacing turns out once you try it.
I’ve only just come across your Channel and absolutely love it. Immediate subscriber and will be binging on all your past videos in the next few days 😆. Such informative content delivered with such clarity, thank you 🙏
Hi. I saw this tip in a simplicity perfect fit pants pattern. I now do this all the time. So much neater finish. Thanks for the video demo..it always helps to see tips in action. And re: fusible vs non fusible… I’m leaning towards non fusible right now… same reason - potential puckering.
I love hearing this was included in pattern instructions. This works with any interfacing including using the self fabric. I almost did that on the satin. Many are saying they are going back to sew-in. It is good to know so I can use then in a project for those that are new sewists and need to see the option available. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am always learning.
Thank you! The Tee is one of my favorite patterns. I have a few videos on it. I copied it from a ready to wear. ua-cam.com/video/3qLfcppVuzM/v-deo.html
when you are sewing around the edge of the facing and interfacing, if you use directional Sewing, there won’t be puckers on one side. By that I mean, starte sewing at the shoulder sew down to the point stop started the other shoulder so down to the point and stop when you sew all the way around in, continuous seam one side will pucker like yours did.
Great tips to keep in mind; they certainly do create a higher level of detail and finishing. Here's a question: When I was in the heaviest years of sewing, I used woven or non-fusible Pellon interfacing. Everyone seems to have gone to fusible - no doubt because of ease. But the fusible sometimes leaves a dimpled finish and can cause edges to curl, as on a point of a collar. I'm seriously considering buying some non-fusible to try out in my next project. This sounds like heresy to avoid fusible interfacing, but I'm pretty darn close to doing it. Your take? Thank you for another trip to your lovely sewing room! Cheers from Norman!
I also like to use sew-in interfacing at times. Not heresy at all. Some fabrics can't take the heat to use a fusible. Others are altered in a negative way. One of the many ways sewing is so specific to the sewist. There are sew many ways to do everything! 🧵
I looked up the pattern. Lovely, classic style blazer. 🩷 Because it is lined the facing edge should be covered by your lining. If it were and unlined jacket this might be the application. I also love a bias bound edge on a tailored garment to give it a higher fashion finish too. I would love to hear more about your project. Check back in and happy sewing!
I was going to do the facing a different way, but then I made an about face. Real question - why do you use fusible interfacing this way rather than sew in?
Excellent question! This can be done with any interfacing. The effect of it behaving more like a single fabric is achieved with fusible. I guess this is a two-faced answer.
You certainly could line the facing. As to lining the garment it depends. A casual camp shirt wouldn't be my choice to line. Also, lining often makes a garment warmer to wear. Sewist's choice! We get to to make it the way we like it. That being said I often line my dresses and skirts.
I've been sewing for a very long time and never once thought about attaching a facing like this -- thank you so much for sharing these methods. I agree that the finished result is beautiful!
Hooray! I never stop learning with sewing.
What a brilliant idea, I shall be using this method, thank you for sharing it with us 😊❤
Hooray! Happy sewing🧵
I’ve never seen this technique before but I’m certainly going to try it! Thanks for this tip💕🇨🇦
Top tips Thank You 🙏❤️
Excellent way of making things look finished and flat. Thanks so much-Claudia
Such a nice, professional finish to facings. Thanks for reminding me of this technique.

Thanks for the tips! A stabilized camera would be really nice. (motion sickness 😬)
I recently got a second camera and tripod! I have been holding my phone for close up for years. It took a while to save up. Hopefully it will help with the movement issues.
I saw this method years ago and started to use it. Makes facings so smooth
Genius! Such a smooth finish. Would also be great for people with sensory issues
Thank you! I agree about sensory issues since it is so smooth. It can be used with sew-in too for those who don't like the fusible.
Very nice tips❤
Thank you!
Thanks,for sharing!!
Thanks for watching, and happy sewing! 🧵
Wow I love these tips.
Wow Stacy great trick! I’m definitely going to do this!
Thank you!

I do step one but never thought about step 2. I'm just going into my sewing room to do that to a facing I've prepared earlier today. ta
Works with sew in too. But the fusible gets so flat! Happy sewing 🧵
Thank you!
So helpful, thanks. Your raglan T is adorable, btw. :)

I’m just stating unisex jacket M7818. I would love to learn how to incorporate this technique to my jacket/blazer.

@@stacyrobbins well played ma'am ... well played.
I don’t get it who wouldn’t you line it?
You certainly could line the facing. As to lining the garment it depends. A casual camp shirt wouldn't be my choice to line. Also, lining often makes a garment warmer to wear. Sewist's choice! We get to to make it the way we like it. That being said I often line my dresses and skirts.
Please look at the camera. It feels like you are talking to your self, not to us. 📸
