The burrito method still seems like magic to me. I always have to look at the instructions because my brain turns things around. It's so much cleaner and easier than the old way of sewing yokes. I remember ironing seam allowances and trying to match them up with the seams and it always frustrated me. Thank so the demonstrations (all of them) today!
Both are your tops are lovely. Thanks for sharing the hem facing and burrito yoke techniques. I’m looking forward to seeing your ITS Delaware jacket. Happy sewing, Diane!
Looking forward to the jacket video! I have two pair of my altered yanta overalls cut out and marked in the 5 oz canvas. The colors are so pretty individually and together. I'll. definitely have to put the scraps together for a tote or something. (Copen Blue medora Flora and Malbec Violetta)
I'm going to answer this question - without talking about a specific fabric. I love french seams because it seals the possibility of raveling fabric. However, I only use them when the seam is not in a "fitted" area of the garment - like the underarm area or around a side pocket. This is the case for linen and rayon. When I working with a garment that is loose fitting - french seams are my preferred finish. When I'm pressed for time - I serge everything.
@@sewbatikfabric Thank you for the thoughtful answer! Some fabrics require it but I don’t remember if I ever tried to french seam an armhole. Probably did because I’m so stubborn. 🤦🏻♀️

You are so welcome!! I turn things around myself. I'm glad I'm a visual learner!!

Thank you so much Laura!!
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! You are so welcome!
I might sew up my Azalea Hand Dyed linen like this. It looks so good on you. I have similar taste (different coloring, fewer dresses 😉).
Fantastic!!

Fantastic. I'm keeping my scraps for a scrappy pillow covering. The canvas will be great for summer pillows with our outdoor furniture!!
@@sewbatikfabric that is a great idea!
It's similar to the "Simple Elegant Tee" if one made it with shoulder seams and maybe altered the round neck.
I agree. I'm still looking for another pattern to inventory.
Do you prefer overlocked seam finishing to french seams when sewing linen? Good idea to clip it first.

I like actual people on pattern jackets too. Drawings aren't always realistic to human bodies.
So true!!
