I love the idea of using old neckties for bias binding. Since the workplace is more casual in the US, there are SO MANY silk ties (as well as high-quality men’s dress shirts) at the thrift store, so reusing those ties as bias binding is an economical way to elevate the binding.
Thanks for this tutorial. I’m upcycling a pre-made, unlined super-sized jacket into a coat dress, and I wanted to add a lining to make it look more elevated, but I couldn’t figure out how to add a lining to something that was already made. This gave me the info I need to do it. Thanks again!
I'm so glad it helped!
Your coat is fab! Re cost effective sewing - I first started sewing in my teens (in the 70s) and it was definitely much cheaper than RTW. I stopped sewing when it started to cost way more to make....and when my kids started to roll their eyes at 'mum made' clothes v designer labels. The internet has brought the price of fabrics down until they are so much more affordable. When I restarted clothes sewing last year I found a length of fabric (cupro) that I bought in the late 80s. It was 1.5m remnant and the price tag was still on it. It was £20 ($26)! I recently bought cupro for a shirt and it cost £3.50 a metre. Edit - oops forgot to say...fabulous tutorial!!
Love the idea of using men's ties for binding.
Yes! I love talking about the cost of sewing and it's so interesting to hear about the cost of fabric! That's crazy! Also, where did you just buy cupro for 3.5 a metre?!!
@@TomKatStitchery From here: www.rainbowfabricsonline.co.uk/product-page/lime-green-cupro. In my summer fabric haul video Pt I - I made it up into a shirt for hubby and its lovely.
As for future videos I love to watch how -to on how others construct specific patterns, tips and tricks on techniques, make plans for patterns matched to a fabric and then see the item completed on on a person to see how it moves. Not so into pattern collections or fabric stashes but do love to see how your sewing room works for you, things that I might be able to incorporate into my own space to improve it.
Thank you, Susan! That is very helpful. So a sew a long for a specific pattern appeals? That would be fun to do!
Thanks for the tutorial. Made perfect sense. I am going to try it on a jacket. I will also check out the bagging technique. Thanks so much!
My pleasure and good luck!
Great tutorial, Whitney. Love your comment: Done is better than perfect-I'll remember that when my perfectionistic streak comes out 😊Excited to see a tutorial for bias binding made with ties.
Haha! I'm married to a perfectionist so it's a mantra I'm constantly trying to get him on board with! Bias binding from ties tutorial will be coming soon!
I love the way your coat turned out an I would love to see how you made bais tape out of mens tie!Such a great idea :)
Thank you, and sure thing on the bias tape tutorial!
I love you with blonde hair!!
Thank you!
Love this! And I am with you... sometimes I just want to get it done, and I like trying new things which isn’t always how I was taught or “the pros or books say” and I love the tie idea please do it! And yes fabric, pattern stash and sewing room
Yay to bucking the system 😂. There is a bias tape video on the channel! Thanks again for watching!
Appreciate the tutorial Whitney! I am a grandmother and teaching myself to sew, just about 2 years now. I have what you may say a champagne taste on a beer budget but I so love textiles and I find that I gravitate to high end fabrics and therefore want to make them well and also get the fit down. I am watching and learning from you so whatever you share will be gobbled up, ok, maybe I have Thanksgiving on my brain, but you know what I mean! Take care and by the way or as they do now, BTW, what is the cutting mat that you use. I really like the size. Also, I noticed that you have a gravity iron, do you like it? Thanks Whitney.
Hi, Jorja! I must admit that I have the same affliction, champagne taste on a beer budget! I'm so glad you're enjoying the tutorials. I also love that you're teaching yourself to sew. To answer your questions, my cutting mat is a 36X72 gridded self healing cutting mat. I ordered it online and I can't remember where (I've had it for awhile). I will do some digging and get that information for you! You are also correct that I have a gravity fed iron and it's amazing. I got mine from Wawak.com and it's amazing. The steam output you get from the gravity fed is so superior to home irons! Thanks again, for watching!
And I think there is a place for a conversation about how/why not to end up with fast fashion practices and negatives in self sewn wardrobes . I am spending much more money than I would in the fast fashion stores but I am trying only to sew clothes that I need now and will actually wear for many years. I am hiring a sewing teacher for help with expensive fabric and developing my sewing skill reconstructing my shabby worn clothes. My trial garments are from bedsheets, etc. I am aware that a lot of resources go into making a few meters of material and I don't want to waste the world to deck myself out. But it is hard...there are so many beautiful fabrics and interesting patterns!
I'd be interested in other people's opinions.
Lynn, I love this and definitely think that there is room to talk about the waste in self sewn wardrobes as well. I, too, use old/second hand bedsheets for muslins (when I actually do one!). I also love that you're employing a sewing teacher for some higher sewing help. That's fantastic!
Wow! Thank you! This is super helpful.
My pleasure! Glad it helped!
Yes would appreciate the tutorial on bias strips from men's ties.
Sure thing on the bias tape tutorial!
Great tutorial, Whitney.... Would love to see how you utilized the ties.... Coat is gorgeous....
Thank you, Deana! I can definitely put together a tie tutorial!
i enjoyed watching this and it seems straightforward to follow, especially for a jacket. But unless the lining and facing are both lightweight, would this technique work with other types of clothing (tops, shirts, etc.)? or would I need to trim out some of the lining underneath?
It would be a bit different for lining tops, dresses, etc. For those, I basically sew up an identical item to the outer layer and then sew them together at the neck (and possibly armhole if the garment is sleeveless). I like to leave the lining at least 1" shorter than the outer. I have some other videos on how to line pants and dresses if you're interested! They are in the playlist section of my channel and under Tutorials and/or Sew alongs.
Hi Whitney, great tutorial and would love for you to show how you utilise mens ties for the binding 😉👍😘
Thank you! I can definitely put together a tutorial for that!
Great tutorial handy tip on men’s ties would like more of the same
What do you use for magnets? That's is a big cutting board? Where do you find that for rotary cutter. I was given a old wool cape, from France. I would like to line it. Should I buy a cape pattern and use the big tissue? Should I cut it on bias, the cape is in 4 huge pieces. Also it has several small holes. How do I fix those? I wanted to put cozy flannel inside. It's great. It falls lovey over the shoulders.
Those are actually 2" washers that I use as pattern weights to keep everything from shifting while I'm cutting out. The cutting mat came from QuiltersRule.com and its fabulous. I've had it almost 8 years and it is amazing. I would definitely recommend looking there. As far as lining an existing garment, I would do a "rub off" of the original garment. While it's not hard, it's a bit hard to describe in writing. There is a class on Craftsy that shows you how to make patterns from existing garments: www.craftsy.com/class/pattern-drafting-from-ready-to-wear/ . I would just draft a second cape and use that for the lining. I hope that helps!
Wow - would that we could all sew that quickly lol. This video is awesome - thank you for sharing your knowledge. FYI: The description link to Grainline Studios produced this message: 404 Page Not Found
Ooh!! Thanks for the heads up. I’ll take a look at the link!
hello thank you very much in the same video after you demonstrate how to thread and wind the bobbin on your juki sewing machine could you also continue to hem a pair of pants trousers using your juki industrial sewing please thank you very much.
Thanks so much for showing your cheater way - I'd like to try this when I do the Anna coat in the future. I'm new to lining coats but have recently bagged out a coat and jacket so getting to know the basics. I've been getting stuck with the lower corners where the lining meets the facing - have been looking up stuff and even see it named as the "tricky corner" . I also often struggle with sleeve heads and you mentioned you crimp the sleeve head - is this something your sewing machine can do? Would love to see your tie bias binding tutorial in future. Thanks again for all the work you put into your vlogs.
Yes, the corners can be a bit tricky. I was trying to film how I do those, but was not successful. I can't tell you how many times I pulled things inside out and back again when I was learning to bag the lining. It's really a practice makes perfect skill. I will say, that when sewing it by machine fails, there is always the hand sewing stand by!
As far as crimpling the sleeve, it's just a way of scrunching the fabric as you sew a line of stitching inside the seam allowance. It takes the place of putting in easing stitches and helps to set the sleeve in without pins (or very little pins. I will use about 3 when setting my sleeves). You can do it on any machine. It's a Janet Prey (Islander Sewing Systems) trick that I learned from a class of hers and I've never looked back! I will say, it works better on thinner fabric than thicker!
Oh my gosh - I've just watch a clip of Janet Pray easing in a sleeve on the flat with no pins in about 4 mins - I'm sure this needs lots of practice but something to try! Thanks for sharing this technique, sleeve setting is my nemesis!
Robyn Jury yes! Give it a try and some practice. You will be setting in sleeves the first time around in no time!
Hi! Thanks so much! You've given me the confidence to make a coat that otherwise had to be made out of another fabric than wool. Can I ask you what purpose is the binding for? (Other coats I've made haven't needed it) Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The purpose of the binding is purely for aesthetic purposes. It holds no other purpose than looking pretty 😉.
HI!! I was wondering, I've been given a fur coat, I need to do a lining. There is no lining inside the coat. So how do I make my own pattern?
You're going to need to do a rub off of the body of the coat. This sounds hard, but it's not too bad. There is a fabulous class on Craftsy for just such a thing. You'll have to buy the class or a membership to view it, but last I checked the yearly memberships were really inexpensive!
@@TomKatStitchery thank you for your reply! 🙏🏻
hello I would like to watch how you thread it and wind the bobbin please ok?thank you very much.
Sure thing!
I do like your philosophy! it suits mine! I wanna make a lining for a coat that it's already made.Any ideas? thank you!🌼🌼❤️
There are many coat patterns that include a lining. Any particular type of coat you are wanting to make?
oh wow thank you for your fast reply! it's short of a kimono like coat,very simple.I was thinking to lay the coat inside out and then spreading the fabric on top of it to make the tracings.What do you think?🌼
maria dimaki yes! You can definitely do that. It would be the same process if you were making a pattern off of an already made coat!
@@TomKatStitchery thank you for the thumbs up! ❤️😍🌼
hello didn't get your reply do you think that could be possible to hem a pair of pants trousers after you show how to thread and wind the bobbin all In the same video please kindly let me if you will please thank you.
Sure! I can demonstrate some sewing on the machine.
a cheater way to do a lining....a video made just for me XD
😂 oh good!
Tell us how you got started with sewing and what classes you have found most helpful.
Ok! That would be an interesting video to share! Thank you!
But how do you make it on paper first??
Do you mean the pattern for the lining? I cut it the same as the outside pieces. This isn't the technical correct way, but it's a good cheater way!
Can I ask how you managed fitting the lining to the vent at the back of the coat?! Bagging is clear but a lot of the tutorials have a straight hem!
I have a tutorial on the channel! It’s under the playlists.
@@TomKatStitchery Brilliant thanks!
Yes!! Please do a “bias binding out of a tie” tutorial
It’s up on the channel! Thanks for watching!
Where are the links for bagging jacket linings? Don't see them.
They are in the description box. You may need to hit the "see more" for the entire contents of the description box to show up!
Unfortunately, I didn't feel as though I learnt how to line an item of your speeded up video.
The writing on the screen was also hard to read.
I'm sorry about that. This was one of the first tutorial videos. They have come a long way!
hello super great videos I know you're busy but when you get a chance please you got to Film a video tutorial all about that gorgeous juki sewing machine pretty please kindly reply back thank you very much.
Haha! She is beautiful isn't she? What would you like to see? Do you want to see how I thread and use her or anything in particular? I can definitely do a little tutorial!
@@whitneyluckenbill9545 is me. I was logged into my other account. Oops!
Talking too long I’m wanting a demo, please. Thank you
Sorry! This was one of the first tutorials I ever filmed. I have learned a lot and, hopefully, improved since this video!
To much talking in the beginning.... Got to go find a less talkative tutorial it's almost 5 minutes and you still running your mouth LOL by girl
I am definitely chatty!
