Thank you so much for this clear explanation. BTW, I also watched a longer version of the same method you did a while ago. In that video, the outer fabric and lining fabric had distinctly different right and wrong sides which made it easier to understand when the wrong sides were out and when the right sides were out.
Thank you so much for this! I am sewing a dress from a pattern and sometimes the instructions are pure gibberish to me, just like a word soup with sewing terms and i have no, and when I tell you no, I mean NO clue what I am supposed to do. Now that I see it it makes perfect sense. So thank you for taking my frustrations away and keeping me from breaking my sewing machine :)
Excellent instruction! I'd just say for those watching you may want to test it out with a muslin first to make sure the shoulders on your pattern are wide enough to pull everything through.
Thank you. I am helping my grand daughter sew a cocktail dress for her school end of year dinner. The pattern she found and we printed off had the armholes finished with biased tape, this is much better. I had forgotten how it was done.
Thank you, I agree with other subscribers your instructions and visual demonstration is very clear. Thoroughly enjoyed sewing along with you.... great work, hope to tune in again soon.
Look forward to trying this! I have previously.….long ago, in my life of sewing, magically and erroneously, created an "Escher" vest while making it with a "bagged lining". I had an opportunity to work with a master builder (stitcher) years later and was brought to tears of laughter to observe him do the same thing. I knew whst was going to be the end result byt kept quiet and watched. Hilarious. It was a good moment to see even the best have moments of "huh?" in their work. Thank you again, I look forward to trying this.
I like to sew reversible, sleeveless tops. I will switch from hand-sewing the shoulder seams to this fully-enclosed seam method. It looks so much better. Thank you!
Holy geez. Whoever came up with this is a genius of 3D visualization. I had to watch several times before I understood. My lined top is now waiting for a press. Thank you for the clear instructions.
Thank you!!!! I was breaking my brain for 2 hours over this. I couldn't get anything to work and the instructions didn't make any sense. Such a life saver x ❤
Yes! These instructions are just right. I did feel that I would benefit from creating a practice muslin of just the upper portion of my sleeveless sundress to see if I really understood - I did. It is like magic!
Thank you, this was so clear and concise, so much so that I’m going to cut a full bodice lining for the dress I have cut out and dice the binding. Thank you for the confidence you’ve given me. ❤️
Thank you for this video!! I taught myself to sew to make shirts for my dogs. Been trying to figure out how to sew one with lining and this did the trick . Easy to follow and it worked!!
I have seen dresses with zippers down the back that are enclosed and finished looking like they were sewn with the buritto method. Could you do a video showing this method, or another way to insert a zipper that is similar. The finish on the inside of my dress is really nice and clean looking.
Hi... thank you sooo much for this detailed video. I’m a little confused about I do I go about doing the same method but if I want to insert a zip on the back. Could you please kindly show how I can do that🙏🙏🙏
This is so helpful! I remember the first time I tried this method....What a mess! I will definitely refer back to this video the next time I make a burrito!
Great, thank you. Is there a way we could line a sleeved garment? I often want to line things I make, but as a lot of patterns don't come with instructions, I'm never really sure how to do it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
It's actually even easier. Usually, you sew the lining to the neckline (right sides together), turn the lining to the inside so the wrong sides are together, then install the sleeve, sewing through all layers together.
Great tutorial! And perfect timing... I was going to work on sewing the metamorphic dress by sew liberated this afternoon. Would you be able to post a video on sewing invisible zippers? Thanks.
That makes so much sense! Thank you! Could you use this if you wanted to line the prudence dress? And would you stabilise the neckline with interfacing if doing a lining? Thanks so much.🙏
Yes, this should work if you plan to line Prudence. I think whether you stabilize the neckline with interfacing would depend on how sheer your fabric is, and how prone it was to stretching out. Definitely stay stitch around the neck!
How do you do the understitching at the armholes? It seems like it would be nearly impossible to get into that area once the lining and the main fabric are seamed.
You'll probably want to hem the shell and lining individually. If you want to anchor the two layers together, say at the side seams, you could create thread chains. Here's a link for a quick tutorial on that: blog.colettehq.com/tutorials/thread-chains-two-ways
"The Burrito Method" was titled that method by Industrial Sewing teacher Margaret Islander, of Islander Sewing Systems.
Islander is amazing tbh
Chris I wish I could get classes from u you are so informative in about everything sewing 🪡 I am a big fan of u and I want one of ur bags for Xmas 🎄
This is probably one of the clearest videos I've seen on this method, great job!!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this clear explanation. BTW, I also watched a longer version of the same method you did a while ago. In that video, the outer fabric and lining fabric had distinctly different right and wrong sides which made it easier to understand when the wrong sides were out and when the right sides were out.
You are the best teacher of the burrito method. You speak clearly and slow enough for one to understand. Thank you, so much!
So much easier to see it step by step than to try and unravel the written instructions on how to do this! Thanks!
I just used this technique for a sleeveless dress. It worked out beautifully. Thank you for clear instructions!
You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I did this a couple times decades ago and it's nice to have a refresher.
BEST video on the burrito method! Nice and slow and great explanation, others are too fast!
Yay! So glad that you found it helpful!
Excellent instruction! I'd just say for those watching you may want to test it out with a muslin first to make sure the shoulders on your pattern are wide enough to pull everything through.
A muslin is always a good idea!
Thank you. I am helping my grand daughter sew a cocktail dress for her school end of year dinner. The pattern she found and we printed off had the armholes finished with biased tape, this is much better. I had forgotten how it was done.
Me too. I am a visual learner. Love this.

It happens to the best of us sometimes! 🤣

This is brilliant thank you so much. Made a sundress for my granddaughter using this
method, so easy
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this video - so clear! Managed to do it in one, no unpicking after being totally confused by written pattern instructions!
That's awesome! So glad it helped!
Perfectly explained, great visuals making this method easy to follow, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. You explained it so clearly. No problem.
Glad it was helpful!
That's so much better than other methods that patterns suggest - thank you
"Burrito" is a Margaret Islander method. People never credit her.
Holy geez. Whoever came up with this is a genius of 3D visualization. I had to watch several times before I understood. My lined top is now waiting for a press. Thank you for the clear instructions.
Glad you liked it!
This is a great method and this tutorial is very clear. THANK-YOU!

How do you understich the armholes once you have sewn it??
This was a great tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow along, thank you!

Witchcraft and wizardry! I love love love it!
That’s exactly what I was going to write
So clear and concise, thank you! I now think I will line bodices like this and use a side zip instead of in CB!
Thank you, very good tutorial

thankyou so much i now am confident i can do this
Yes you can! Happy sewing!
This video is amazing, thank you. My bodice has darts, do I sew the dart before I attach the lining? Thank you.
Yes!

Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
Wow!! U explained that so well , it actually looks easy, dare I say that 😂
So glad you found the tutorial useful!
It is! Just made the top section of a stretchy dress. Felt like having a double layer look to enclose the raw edges.
@@mjey1 I'm gonna try it!!!!
Awesome! I get it now, thank you!!
I feel so foolish, all this time I’ve been doing this wrong and I couldn’t figure out why. Thank you so much for this video!
Wonderful 👍
Thumb up! Great tutorial! I have a question: for knit or spandex fabric this can be done in the same identical way with a serger?
Super!
Thank you very much!
Very excellent
Thank you!
GREAT channel name!👍
Thanks!
Genius!
Question, what's that on your table that allows you to iron on it?
How do you do the understitching at the armholes? It seems like it would be nearly impossible to get into that area once the lining and the main fabric are seamed.
Exactly. I'm almost sure it will have to go through all the layers so it will basically be top stitched...
Thank you for this precise instruction.
Can the burrito method be used for a vest which would be open in the front?
I think so! It's hard to say for sure without seeing the pattern.
So how would you hem the bottom, or add in a fully lined skirt? I’m struggling to find a method for this 😬
You'll probably want to hem the shell and lining individually. If you want to anchor the two layers together, say at the side seams, you could create thread chains. Here's a link for a quick tutorial on that: blog.colettehq.com/tutorials/thread-chains-two-ways
excelente!!! gracias
Could we add a little cap sleeve or ruffle at the shoulder between the main fabric and the lining and still use this method?
It might be challenging to have that extra fabric sandwiched in there, however, it's worth trying on a muslin!
I actually just ran into a video demonstrating exactly this, which I found to be helpful. :) ua-cam.com/video/CplfCrFfzCA/v-deo.html
