I watched this video at least 20 times during my first lined dress project and it turned out great! Thanks for making such a great tutorial!!!
🥳 woohoo 🙌 I’m so happy it turned out great :)
So that's what I did wrong lol everything! 😅 I tried lining a dress recently but I sewed it in as I went...and things got really wonky by the end. I'll try this next time. Thank you!
@@wow_icangetcraftytoo welcome. Good luck on the next dress. I’m sure it will go great!
You have the best comprehensible video on how to add a lining and invisible zipper. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching & happy sewing 🧵
Fabulous teacher. ✨👏💕
Anastasia, thank you so much for this tutorial, I finally understand how to finish the zipper off. The way you explained and showed the whole process was the best. Love your dress, it looks great on you. Thanks again.
Thank you 😊 I’m happy this tutorial helped!
Wow you’re such a great teacher and your video quality and zooming in action is spot on. I’m subscribing!
Welcome aboard!n🎀
Thank you for posting this video, Im sewing a dress and now in time to do a lining too. You are such a great teacher! xoxo
What great timing! If you have any questions let me know. Thank you for watching.
I just can't get enough if your tutorials, they are so informative...
❤ nice and clear for me a beginner, thank you! I’ll be back often. 😊
Happy sewing :)
Great tutorial! Psychedelic squirrels are never a wrong choice! ❤️🐿 Your advice to understitch the neckline is spot on. I love how neat and tidy the top of the zipper, self fabric, and lining all look.
I personally have a really hard time getting the lining at the bottom of the zipper to lay right and line up all tidy. My solution is to sew the center back seam of the lining from the hem up to the bottom of the zipper before I attach it to the zipper. Then I do what you did to stitch it to the zipper tape.
The fabric is amazing for sure. Great idea about sewing from the bottom up! Thank you for watching.
Loved this tutorial! Your explanations were well paced and easy to understand. Thank you so much, yay!!!
@@jeannie82024 Thank you for watching 💖 Happy sewing 🧵
I hardly use lining in clothes but you made it look very easy. Where I'm from I usually hot and rainy so its not feasible for me. But thanks so much for sharing your video with us.❤❤❤❤👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad it was helpful! I live where it is cold so I need lots of layers! I wish it was warm here all year!
this is SOwell explained! Exactly the video I needed! You are a great teacher
Woohoo 🥳 happy to help. Thank you for watching! Happy sewing 🧵
Wow! That was the most amazing, easy-to-follow tutorial. I am so proud of myself for lining my dress! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Girl, you are such a hero! I was struggling to understand how to do this but you explained and showed so well!
thank you so much! ❤
Happy to help!
What a great teacher u are❤️thank you so much for posting this amazing, comprehensive and well explained video when it comes to attaching lining with the main garment❤️now i can sew the lining with the main shell without any fear❤️love u xoxo from Thailand ❤️
I'm thrilled to hear that I've helped you conquer your fear of sewing! Now you can stitch like a pro and take over the fashion world. Watch out, Thailand! 😉
Great video! I was worried about my lining showing. So glad you told us about that trick!
So happy you watched the video. Happy to help with your sewing projects.
Your Tutorial is very simple. I’ve been struggling with this . Thank you so much❤❤❤
You are very welcome 🤗
this was so helpful! Just wondering - many patterns come with front and back facings - do those just get left out if you are lining?
Thank you so much! I never learnt how to sew, so a lot of what I am doing depends on trial and error (more error than trial...). Your tips are really helpful.
The way you’ve simplified this is so helpful ❤ Thank you x
You're welcome! I'm just here to make complicated things seem easy, like magic! ✨
Thank you for learning how to sew lining🎉
You are sew welcome 🤗
Love all your videos could you please show how to stitch a lined blazer
This was such a helpful video! I was intimidated with attaching the lining to the zipper, but your way of teaching is so comforting it made it do easy! Thank you, and subscribed!
I'm so glad! This is great to hear and thank you for subscribing! ❤️
Wow nice and clean. Thank you for the much simple and detailed tutorial. love from Shereen of South Africa
Thank you for watching.
You're amazing. Thank you so much for your clear explaining. Excellent❤
You are so welcome
Thank you for sharing this tutorial on adding a lining.
Very welcome :) Thank you for watching.
Anastasia, thank Y💖U very much for this beautifully & fun essenced detailed guide. I really needed to see a quality review so I can start lining my own dresses. I’m sure you already know this & assume it’s a given, but for any newbie sewers; if could just make 1 suggestion that I learned that REALLY makes the difference for a finely tailored outcome. It is so important to get in the habit of PRESSING (not ironing back & forth) the seams after EACH time you sew them. For two reasons. 1.) It heals or closes back the holes made from the needle in the fabric. 2.) It leaves all your seams NICELY flat & smooth for a beautiful couture like finish. The result is a beautiful drape with no bulkiness or puckers.👗🪡🧵✨🎉💞🥰🎶
P.S. If your fabric is mid to high end buy 1/4 yrd of white organza fabric or pressing fabric & place it on top of your fabric, then press it. This ensures your beautiful fabric is not altered by the heat in any way (i.e. makes it shiney or dull.) Also, use the correct heat setting for that specific fabric. Thank you again & HAPPY SEWING✨💞✨
Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for this video. I’ve used the information in this video to add linings to so many dresses. ❤
woohoo 🥳 This is great to hear! Happy sewing 🎀
Thank you was my first lining dress
How exciting! 🎀
Brilliant tutorial!! thank you
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your tutorial
You are very welcome
I'm making my first ever lined dress. Your video is just what I was looking for to help me with the process. I'm making up the pattern as I go along and have decided to add a contrast waistband between the bodice and skirt. When I do the lining, is it best to do exactly the same and add a waistband, or can I just extend the bodice to the same length it is with the waistband?
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for watching :) Happy sewing.
What a great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you for watching. Have a lovely day 🎀
I love this tutorial and this dress. I'm going to make it in deep red, vavavoom
Thank you! It was very helpful.
Excellent 😊
This is incredibly helpful! I have made lined dresses before, but I had a really hard time with the commercial pattern instructions around the zipper/outside fabric/lining fabric (I ended up hand-stitching the lining to the zipper tape, which actually worked fine, but was REALLY SLOW). THIS is awesome! Question: what are your thoughts on assembling the lining FIRST as sort of a "muslin" for a garment?
Thank you for watching. 💕 Why not assemble the self pattern pieces as your muslin sample ? I mean if the lining is the same sure but sometimes the lining is bigger so I wouldn’t suggest doing that for a test fit.
This tutorial is fabulous! So happy I found your channel and have subscribed. I do have a question/request. Could you please do a tutorial about lining fabrics? I have some gorgeous voiles and lightweight linens that I want to sew up but they need linings. Since they are 100% cotton, is it essential that I use 100% cotton lining? If I prewash/preshrink both fabrics, can I use an Imperial Batiste to line dresses made with translucent or sheer fabrics that are 100% natural fibers? I can find imperial batiste at a local shop but it is a poly/cotton blend. The only other thing that I have found nearby is the Symphony broadcloth at JoAnn which is also an appropriate weight but also poly/cotton blend.
Great teacher
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing ❤!
Thanks for the helpful video! When you attach the neckline of the dress to the lining, you sew at a 1/4” seam allowance. So you basically lose a 1/4” at the neckline of your dress? Would you recommend adding a 1/4” to the neckline if you’re starting from a pattern vs. an existing dress? Thanks again!
One more thing - how would you recommend sewing a lining in a dress with ruched sides? The pattern uses the side seam allowances for the channels of the ruching. I considered leaving the sides open prior to connecting the necklines, but then I end up with my fashion fabric on the inside of my garment. If I add the channels on both pieces separately first, then I need two sets of straps and the seams are bulky. I thought about using the inside of the lining/fashion fabric as the ruching channel, eliminating the need for the single fold. but I’m not sure how to do that cleanly. What’s the best option here? Any advice would be much appreciated!! Thanks again!
Thanks sooo much for sharing!❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
First I want to say how much I appreciate your videos! I have a dress that I'd like to line. The dress has 4 vertical pleats at waist line. Do I do the same with the lining?
That was very weird - I JUST had a thought about this….and there’s a video about the exact same topic! Thank you! I got two kinds of cotton (because I don’t totally know what I’m doing) and one is a little thinner.
Ha! How awesome. We are on the same wave length. Happy sewing.
Is there a breathable fabric that works best as a lining under a see through blouse? What kind of fabric did you use for your lining? It looks almost a bit stretchy. Thank you again for always posting such useful content we can apply right away!!
I love all of your videos and watch all of them! I had a question and maybe you can help me with us, how would a line a button down shirt dress?
I would trace out the sleeves and body pieces and sew the lining by the cuffs, collar and placket.
What if you want to add lining and/or pockets to a garment you didn’t make? (so you don’t have the pattern pieces for it)
@@kateisaacson4766 You can trace the pattern pieces out from the garment & make a pocket pattern of your choosing.
Thank you
You're welcome
So cute!
Thank you :)
This tutorial is so informative and fun!! What fabric so you recommend for lining?
For a fancy lining I would use a plain silk like china silk or a bemburg rayon lining. Otherwise anything thin & smooth to the touch. You could even use plain cotton if u don’t need it to be smooth.
Thank you!This video is so helpful!
I made a dress but didn’t realize how see-through the fabric until I finished😅
So I want to add a lining to it but my dress has pockets on it and I was wondering if I should just sew around the pockets kind of like you did with the zipper or is there a different way for pockets?
The lining goes on the outside of the pockets. So you don’t put pockets in the lining. Just remake your dress with no pockets.
Wow ! Merci beaucoup! ❤
💕💕💕 Thank you for watching
So happy to find your video, it was easy to follow how to add a lining to a dress with an invisible zipper. Thank you! Also, where did you find your squirrel pattern fabric? I love the fabric and such a beautiful dress. I will be dancing rock and roll on stage in a few months and your dress and the fabric would be perfect.
Thank you so much 🥰
🎀🎀❤️🥰
Awesome work
Thank you!
I have black sequin fabric I want to put over a bodysuit and skirt I have. Do you have any videos for that? Can I even do that?
I have some videos on working with beaded and sequin fabrics.
Enjoyed your video. You made it look so easy. How do you sew a lining when the dress has a top on
Can you explain more? I don't understand exactly what you mean by "the dress has a top on". Maybe you mean a facing (a small inner layer near the edges), or a ruffle on top maybe?
Thank you for this helpful video! What do I do if my dress has pockets?
No pockets in the lining.
I'm very new to sewing. What type of fabric do you normally use for a lining? Did you use quilting type fabric in this video?
There is actually a section for lining at the fabric store if you want a standard lining but technically you can use just about any fabric for lining as long as it is of similar weight and/stretch.
This is great for when you’re sewing your own garment but damn I need to add a lining to dresses I bought and didn’t make. I obviously don’t have patterns for it other than using the dress itself as a pattern.
I was looking for pattern to make a slip but no luck on simple slips.
Can you make a video on how to add a lining to ready made dresses and a simply slip?
I would love this too!
great to know. I have a pattern for a simple slip. I will have to put it out. Thank you for watching.
Awesome. I will put out a simple slip video soon.
Nice. What if I just want to line the skirt part of a dress?
You can totally do that. Just sew the lining into the waist seam or side seams.
It finally makes sense
Woohoo 🥳 thank you for watching .
Thank you! Will it be the same process for a sleeveless dress (with lining and zipper)?
Yes it will
Hello, I love this video!!!! Would I need to allow extra seam allowance to the dress for this? Would it make the dress smaller?
You always need seam allowance.
My dress pattern has arm/neck hole binding. I'm thinking I would forgo the binding if adding a lining? Thanks to anyone who can offer feedback!
How do you attach the lining if it is a sleeveless dress with armholes and shoulder seams. Thanks!
Good question! In a very specific way. I do not have a video on that at the moment.
How would you sew/ attach a lining to a dress with arm holes?
I was just about to ask the same question! I'm struggling with this too
Thank you for this tutorial. Can you do one on collar band.
Sure. What exactly do you mean by a collar band ?
I am sewing Butterick Pattern B6852 and the collar band instructions are not clear. The collar band attaches to the collar and then shirt. I save ALL your instructions and refer them them often. Love, love, love your tutorials. Thank you
I really enjoyed this video so much and your dress is super cute! What fabric did you use for your lining?
Thank you. I used a poly lining fabric for my lining. You could also use a light cotton or a china silk. Happy sewing!
great video, if i was to do a underlining instead would it be okay to.
Yes but u don’t want to see raw edges through a sheer fabric ….. if I’m understanding you correctly.
I’m looking for a tutorial showing how to add a lining to a ready made pair of jammies. I have a red checked flannel that is super cute but I want to add warmth. Do you have a tutorial for this?
I do have a few videos for adding lining. Check out the one I did for a red skirt. I trace out the garment to make the pattern. ua-cam.com/video/2UCCdsTlcJQ/v-deo.htmlsi=s9JrUQnDvkgJgoRq
Thanks for this! I'm working on this skill right now :) Any tips for installing boning in a dress bodice? I find the whole idea very intimidating but so many of the patterns I want to sew need boning
I totally need to do a video on this! There are a bunch of different types of boning. I would suggest poly sew on boning with out the casing. I like using that one the best but they all work so it’s just a personal preference.
My suggestions are to make sure you keep it 1/8 inch away from your seam allowances & wrap or cover the ends cause they get sharp!
would this work on a box pleated skirt? im working on one right now and im thinking of adding a lining
Yes, just make you lining 2 inches shorter :)
Is there a way to add pockets in a dress when you go in to add the lining? I can't figure out how I would do that through the outer AND the lining fabric!
How do you do it if you have an ordinary dress with sleeves….
exactly… i am making a dress that needs to be double lined but it has shoulder seems and sleeves. i have no idea how to move forward with it since i cant find help anywhere:(
How would this work with a pattern that used facings and sleeves. Would I replace the facings completely?
You can sew the lining to the facing. Basically remove the facing pattern from the lining but make sure you have seam allowance.
Could we take the lining all the way to the end of the outside fabric so the hems are sewn together? What might we need to do so the dress isn't bulky or stiff with that approach?
Yes you can do that. Its a bagged lining. If you have any curves you can clip them so they lay flat.
What sewing order would I follow for a sleeveless dress?
This is a sleeveless dress. Do you have more specific questions?
What if my pattern has a shoulder and armhole with sleeves or sleeveless how to finish that??
Thank you so much for sharing this video! It was extremely helpful. And the psychedelic squirrel dress turned out great!!! 😊
Now I want to make a dress with a fun pattern haha I'm thinking cats as I'm a cat mom! 😆🐈⬛
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching. OMG yes. Send me a pic of your dress with the cat pattern. I want one too.
Is this the same dress that you put in bra cups into in a previous video? I am assuming they would be sandwiched in between the finish fabric and the lining?
Great video. Clear instructions.
Yes it is! You are so right. The bra cups are in between the layers.
I’m doing my first lining for a cotton dress, is there specific cotton lining fabric or can u use polyester with the cotton or broadcloth, 65 poly/25 cotton?
You can use a poly lining or just use the cotton as a lining. They both work. It depends on which one you want against your skin. You could always get a thin cotton voile too as lining.
Anastasia how would you like e a sleeveless dress?
What do you mean?
Your videos are so fun, and inspiring to watch, but also frustrating at the same time. I would LOVE to do that, but would NEVER be allowed to wear something like that! I get enough harassment for wearing a skirt, but WOW, if I tried to get away with that, .................... 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you :) Huh sounds like you need to move to a new community. I am sorry to hear people are harassing you. That is so not cool. Maybe just ignore them and you be you.
@@SewAnastasia If it was only that easy, but it seems, If a guy likes skirts, and/or dresses, MOST people make assumptions about his sexuality! I just think we should ALL have equal freedom to express ourselves!
Ever hear of vests? Lol
@@freakygardener8033 I'm a woman and my boyfriend is a beautiful androgynous man who wears make-up and dreamy fashion everyday. He needed to build up his confidence to get there though. Homophobic comments mostly don't bother him anymore.
If it's actually dangerous where you live, you could at least start to wear your dream clothes at home if it brings you joy. You deserve to wear what you want and be who you are, it sucks that people are giving you a hard time. They're in the wrong.
I hope you find a way to live your dreams 💖
@@veve7349 Thank you, for your kindness, and support. I appreciate it VERY much!
Unfortunately, my family is is not supportive of my interests, and feelings, so I really can't do much at home. I have made myself a couple skirts, (which I no longer have), and I have a couple store bought as well. I have a project skirt, I'm trying to finish, but can't find the time to get back to.
It's SO nice, to find kind, supportive people like you, but unfortunately you are RARE! Thanks again, and I wish you both the best.
hi! why didn't you attach the lining to the zipper? how does the lining stay in place?
At 10:44 I’m attaching the lining to the zipper.
ps. i forgot is a thin musaline cotton fabric ok for a lineing on rayon fabric
Yeah, totally. As long as it's not heavier than the outside you should be good. Thanks for watching!
Does my dress need to be completely sewn with zipper in before I add lining? Or can I add lining at the same time?
There are many different ways you can attach a lining. If you want it to be finished by the edge of the zipper how I did it then you will need to add an invisible zipper first. You can sew the lining to the dress 1st then treat the back like it is one piece of fabric and not two. The downside is that is you can see the seam in the inside. That way is a more fast fashion approach to it but hey they both work and there is a time and a place for all techniques. Thank you for watching.
How would you add a lining to a wrap dress/skirt?
Trace out the pattern and do the same thing.
What kind of fabric is best for lining?
Anything light weight. It could be thin cotton or a satin or a china silk or a rayon bamberg.
How does this work with a gathered pattern please.
Measure the gathered section by measuring the hem or if stretchy by stretching it out.
How do you line a dress that has a bodice an skirt
Cute bodice & skirt pieces & sew them together like it’s one dress out of lining
Thank you. Is an all purpose zipper sewn in the same way?
@@rhondarichie7950 a regular zipper is sewn in different then an invisible zipper.
What happens if your dress has shoulders? I want to line a shift dress I made.... 👗
Trace out all your pieces & do the same thing. It doesn’t matter if it has shoulders. It’s the same process.
…but does this still work if the dress has armholes .
♥️👍
Question, for that blue dress, what’s the sheer fabric called that you use for the straps? I’ve been looking for something like that and I don’t know what it’s called!!
It is an organza ribbon! Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Your content is so, so good. I struggle to listen to more than 60 seconds at a time, due to your elocution/modulation. I'm ND, so probably a "me" thing (sensory) -- but it would be way easier to take in your excellent content if your speech/communication was better modulated. I don't mean to criticize; your work is AMAZING. It's just that the recording is, to me, extremely shrill and harsh on the ears, which means I can only take in a minute or two at a time. Probably a me thing; feedback meant well :)
Ok thanks. Sorry I cant change my voice. Maybe put on CC. This was great for my self esteem. Thank you again.
I had no problem with your elocution, please don’t let it put you off as the feedback was well intentioned I just meant that it’s ok for some of us, so it could be the device some people are listening on, not your voice 😊
