Wow just found your channel. I avoid any patterns that call for a lining because I’m scared lol! But after watching your video I think I’m ready! Thank you so much for explaining and showing how easy it can be to line a garment.
Me, who has sewn and can sew a lining decently, watching this video just to give you views: 😊 Me, seeing the 0.5 seam allowance trick to pull the lining in: 😯 (also that is a gorgeous lining)
I don’t have autism. But I have texture problems with clothes and food! So I’m super happy I’m able to wear pretty fabrics with comfortable lining ❤❤ thank you!!
Now the written instructions make sense because I've seen you do it. Or close to it. The lining for the garment I want to make includes sleeves. But it was the inside out to pin maneuver that threw me off when relying on drawings and text only. Thank you. And your vest is pretty on you.
I've just finished a T&S binge and cannot believe that I haven't seen your channel earlier!! I love all your work and personality, and cannot wait to watch all your videos until the end of the world now 💙
It's a gorgeous pattern and a gorgeous finished result but I am currently looking for any kind of advice on how to add a lining to a store-bought dress but I guess the answer I'm not seeing from any sewing creator is just take the entire dress apart and make the lining like you made the pattern. I was just hoping that there was some kind of like cheap and easy hack without a one-to-one pattern but I guess I should just try and fail. 😂 I don't know if you have any advice about that but if you did it would be an amazing video to make because no one else seems to be making a video about that.
OMG! Excellent! Just what I was looking for! I have been a seamstress for years. I am 71 years old but lining things has always been horrible mess for me. Thank you so much for being so detailed. I just made a Flamenco costume and the lining came out horrible but in the future, I will check your videos.
Thanks for the super easy explanation! ❤ I'm really glad I found your channel 😊 hope to see more videos on basic sewing stuff like this one! :D the lining fabric was also very beautiful :)
Thank you for this! I always lined my garments but they ended up looking a little loose or not fitting well with the lining. I'm gonna try triming my seam allowance nex time.
Oh shoot lol if you read the old comment before I edit it it. It was meant for another video. UA-cam changed videos as I was typing and I didn’t realise and sent it sorry about that
This is a lovely dress. I love that the bottom part of the dress is not big and billowing. I notice that on alot of shirred dresses, it is like that, but this dress isn't and doesn't overwhelm the body.
I enjoyed this video. I didn't know how to do that. But what I really want to learn is how to repair/replace the badly ripped-up lining in a heavy wool coat.
You can do it with the principles shown in this video! I would try to copy the shell pattern pieces (there’s a cool trick on how to do that with painters tape, maybe you can look it up) and use those to create the lining.
Hello thank you so much for this!! It was such a helpful video especially since I was in a time crunch!!! I am really confused about how to do an understitch so I ended opting it out since I didn’t want to accidentally ruin the piece I hope that’s ok 😅
Hello~ awesome clear tutorial! I have a pair of casual linen pants (ready made) that are quite see through..any tips for adding lining to them? Is it even possible for home sewing 😢?
Thank you. Yes the principle is always the same. You’d have to copy the bought pants by tracing them, creating a lining that mirrors the existing garment. Then you can overturn the two.
Silly question: if I’m adding a zipper closure, should I still leave a gap in the center back for turning, or can I turn using the open front seams where the zipper is going?
Hi! If you have a zipper say in the center back, you leave that open until you put your zipper in. I show this process in almost every one of my videos as I line almost all my makes. You can see the process here for example (ca min 25): ua-cam.com/video/Nz0wpIrwCkc/v-deo.htmlsi=L43WLbIoRQwZ52w7 Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video! So with the lining shorter, do you then end up with the shell bunched up as you work around it? Or are you pulling on the lining to stretch it so they match? I just don’t understand how that shakes out
My god, that was helpful! And, honestly, we could all do a @BernadetteBanner and hand-stitch the entire hem closed, easy peasy, if the twisted part feels too clunky to pin to a sewing machine. I came here to learn how to line an heirloom house apron (another use to add to your "lining" list! My shell fabric is a mid-weight embroidered cotton. All the little thready things are showing on the wrong side so, to make sure the whole thing doesn't get destroyed when washing or snagged on my other clothes, the dressmaker at the store recommended I line the other side of it) and now I feel confident I can. Thanks so much!
It depends on which area we’re talking about - it definitely shouldn’t be longer than the garment itself and definitely trimmed in exposed openings like neckline or armhole if there is no facing involved. If you work with facing around those areas, you are right - you cut the lining slightly wider/longer so it can move within the garment. This is mostly true for tailored pieces like jackets or suit skirts.
So desperate to buy patterns from you but i cannot!!!😭 as an indian its hard to shop from etsy! Wish i could actually buy your pattern and sew it. Anyone out there who knows how to purchase from etsy internationally!?
@ThrillsandStitches could you do another video with this technique on a sleeved garment? I'm getting so confused at the armhole pinning stage because I can't see what I'm doing to line things up properly!
Oh my God! You can’t even imagine how useful that was for me! I love how well narrated and detailed this video is. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

This was the best narrated and explained video I’ve watched yet! After watching your tutorials, I just can’t watch or learn from others
Wow, thank you that's so nice. Glad it is helpful!

Hahahaha that's amazing! Both that you support me this way but also that you were able to take something away from it. Thank you for sharing ☺️
Finally I find a video that explains how and why on linning. I love lined cloths, they look so neat and profesional. Thanks so much!
Glad it helped! :)
I don’t have autism. But I have texture problems with clothes and food! So I’m super happy I’m able to wear pretty fabrics with comfortable lining ❤❤ thank you!!

Thank you for showing the hand stitching. I am new to this and didn’t really know how to hand stitch it shut!! Bravo
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks, will definitely use them next time I line something! Also, the vest looks great! ☺
You are so welcome, and thank you so much ☺️

Oh thank you, and thank you for educating me! ☺️
Excellent explanation, I’m about to start sewing a vest and this was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Good lick with your vest! :)
You did a great job explaining and demonstrating this process in a very easy to understand process.
Glad it was helpful!
Please show us how to add buttons and buttonholes to a finished and lined garment.

Many thanks! Glad it makes sense!
You are a good instructor
Thanks!
Thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge!❤️❤️❤️
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Love your vlog (e.g. fabric and design choices). So tired of nothing but viscose flowery material on other sewing vlogs. And u keep it real!!!
Thank you So much. Really helpful
Glad it helped!
Great job!!! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Hello thank you so much for this!! It was such a helpful video especially since I was in a time crunch!!! I am really confused about how to do an understitch so I ended opting it out since I didn’t want to accidentally ruin the piece I hope that’s ok 😅
I'm sure it is :) I am glad the video was helpful!
There are a few handy dandy videos on understitching on UA-cam that I searched up because of didn't know how to understitch either lol
Hello~ awesome clear tutorial!

Thank you. Yes the principle is always the same. You’d have to copy the bought pants by tracing them, creating a lining that mirrors the existing garment. Then you can overturn the two.
The arm hole, that's a bit tricky, can you give pointers on how you achieved to stitch the whole arm hole with the sewing machine?
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊 Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Thak you so much ❤
Which fabric do you use for lining?
Happy it's helpful! I use viscose lining as it's breathable
I love you😘😘thank you so much for this enlightening video.
Glad it helped! :)

Thank you! My first time here; new Subbie❤
Awww hello and welcome! Thanks for subbing! 💜
Thanks for the video!
So with the lining shorter, do you then end up with the shell bunched up as you work around it? Or are you pulling on the lining to stretch it so they match? I just don’t understand how that shakes out
Both! The shell will bunch while you sew, when you press your garment you pull so it evens out.
Super!!! Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome 🤗

Oh I love to hear that, glad it helped. Thank you for sharing and I hope it comes together perfectly 💜
Is it the same process to line drawstring pants?
I would think so, yes
You are great!! What the name of the lining?
Thank you - it’s simple viscose lining. I always go for the breathable one which is slightly more expensive
I love no serger seams. They itch even if they are inside.
☺️
Thanks so much
💜
Does this work with shorts too??
Absolutely!
Not me distracted by that gorgeous red dress in the back....
❤😂❤
Ooooh it's coming soon ;)
I thought lining should be a bit larger than the actual clothes. So it can move within the clothes better, but of course not showing from the outside.
It depends on which area we’re talking about - it definitely shouldn’t be longer than the garment itself and definitely trimmed in exposed openings like neckline or armhole if there is no facing involved. If you work with facing around those areas, you are right - you cut the lining slightly wider/longer so it can move within the garment.

Oh I am sorry to hear that! I wasn't aware that Etsy isn't really a viable solution in India... I will consider this!
❤❤❤

What about *sleeves*?
Same thing, you cut the pattern pieces in lining and shell material and overturn them with each other!
@ThrillsandStitches could you do another video with this technique on a sleeved garment? I'm getting so confused at the armhole pinning stage because I can't see what I'm doing to line things up properly!
Thanks for the explanation! It was all very easy to understand. I will see your tutorial again to make the vest that I have always liked 🥹🙏
Yay, love to hear it :)
