Oh my gosh, this is such a great tutorial for doing the burrito method on a sleeveless garmet! So clear and concise! ❤🇨🇦❤️

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thank you so much!

[@teeshare9]

This was so incredibly clear and helpful! I’ve been looking for a video that shows the burrito method on a sleeveless garment, and this is the first time I’m not confused. Thank you so much for making it less intimidating!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Yay! I'm so glad that you found it helpful. Once you understand the technique actually doing it isn't so bad! You got this!

[@terrydahl4494]

The slow video and the recap makes this a topnotch video. Thank you!

[@SeamworkVideo]

I'm so glad to hear that those additions helped! We want to make the info as clear and easy to follow as possible.

[@SparkyOne549]

Great content! Thanks so much. ❤ How the universe works lol. I download a tank dress pdf pattern, there was no mention of a lining, but I want one. Today, here’s the method. This helps so much.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Ha! Perfect timing! That's awesome.

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

Why does no tutorial discuss doing the burrito method with bodices that have a side zip? I’m coming up at a dead end every single time I try to find tutorials for bodices with side zips that are part of a dress.

[@catherinewong157]

Thank you for going step by step slowly!

[@Genxxcide]

Just to clarify - would this work with a dress that everything has been sewn together except the armholes? I'm trying to alter a dress to fit me, but the lining is only on the bodice, not the skirt. Every time I try to put the armholes together, the shoulders get trapped in this weird infinite loop. This method was suggested to me. Would I need to change my technique?

[@SeamworkVideo]

Is the dress you're altering sleeveless? That's what this method is intended for. If it is, then this method should work for you!

[@stephaniebeaty8709]

That looks like a magic trick! Thank you for sharing it! Would you use the same method with a knit? If so, would you serge the seams instead?

[@SeamworkVideo]

This is not a commonly used technique for knits since those are often finished with ribbing or a band at the neck, but you could give it a try!

[@carinasoh]

Thank you for sharing. Does it work for a sleeveless dress. .

[@SeamworkVideo]

Yes it does!

[@TheSolipsist0]

Brilliant video. Using different fabrics for outermaterial and innerfacing was crucial for understanding. Great job.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@xochishirtz9969]

Wonderfully clear instructions!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thank you!

[@daraharper2003]

Thank you! Actually I'm on Both teams😄

[@yourgirlsp]

You guys - I tried this last night for the first time ever on a plissé and rayon voile dress and it came out FLAWLESS. This was the first time it's made sense to me. Thank you soooo much! I'm so delighted with my squeaky clean arm holes.

[@yourgirlsp]

PS - My dress has a Chelsea collar backed with lightweight fusible interfacing and it was no problem whatsoever. If anything, the stability helped me hold the fabric roll out of the way during stitching.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Wonderful!

[@catherinem.6801]

thank you a lot, ladies! It was so clear and it gave me much confidence after walking in the desert about this technique! I think I’m going to watch your sewalongs that look amazing ! We are so lucky to have you and your talented lessons! Thank you for being so helpful to us all, beginners! 🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😃😃😃👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thanks Catherine! So glad it was helpful. Happy sewing!

[@Cynthia2v]

In college we had a class that taught us couture methods and shortcuts from the clothing industry. After sewing the neck area, we trimmed the facing/lining edge 1/8” before sewing the armhole, then proceed as you showed. That was how we insured the facing never crept out . Great video.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Great tip, thank you!

[@katebroege6083]

Thank you so much for these video tutorials.I've never quite been able to catch onto the burrito method but after this tutorial I totally get it and my results were truly magical! I love the podcast and my Seamwork membership!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thank you so much!

[@michelle-perthwa4974]

So grateful for this tutorial, I had watched many other videos and my sleeveless top had to wait until I could find one to help me conceptualise this process. Thank you thank you 🎉

[@SeamworkVideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@denisetymensky8922]

Silly question but would it work with a lined sleeveless top? Last time I did a facing it showed through the dress….

[@SeamworkVideo]

Hey Denise, this method is for a lined sleeveless top, so you're in the right place! :-)

[@ChrisClarke-w8b]

Watch many doing this method, so unclear. This is brilliant. So clear and precise. Thanks
