How to Hand Sew a Fabric Liner to a Knit or Crochet Blanket

[@ca.r.33]

Hi! I’m so happy I found this! I appreciate how you verbally explain and show the work - I am a visual learner!! Thank you so much!!

[@mrsbadger320]

As a complete sewing novice, this is such a great video. Instructions are explained clearly, both verbally & visually. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@sabrinafloros1876]

Thanks for this very helpful video. Your instructions are so clear and easily understood. I’m going to be knitting a large color stranded throw for my sister, so I’m very glad I happen to see your tutorial. Thank you!

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank you! 😊

[@MidnightHedgehog365]

Omg thank you! I'm working on a coat for my niece's first birthday this December and I wanted to line it but the other tutorials were kinda intimidating to me as I'm not a sewer. I know very simple stitching to repair garments but really not anything else. This is perfect!

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank YOU! I’m so glad you found it useful!

[@mariananavarro4175]

thank you so much for this tutorial. this worked perfectly for me. I really appreciate it.

[@diannebartkus9893]

Perfect! Thank you!!! Beautiful

[@shibuhashim6815]

Oh. My. Goodness. I just adore this argyle pattern ‼️ It's normal or tunisian crochet ❓ I just normal crochet. Will I need to learn tunisian for this ❓❓❓ Please, please, please answer this someone. I love the detailed tutorial about the lining. Just what I needed as I want to start lining. Thank you 💐

[@ModeBespoke]

It’s Tunisian crochet, love.

[@amyd1026]

Can you use this method for lining bags? I’ve never lined anything. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@SilverIchimaru]

I don't see why you couldn't as long as you like the look. If MB doesnt have a bag liner tutorial, both Bag O Day and Jayda Instiches do.

[@latanyastclair9447]

Great tutorial - well explained! Much appreciated!!!

[@BeverlyTilton]

Excellent video!

[@Lizard3889]

Hmm, how do you finish this off? Does it get knotted off on the lining or knit side? How do you finish off and make it blend, without looking like a big knot in your blanket?

[@ModeBespoke]

Knit side. Use a thread that matches one of the colors on the knit side and make a small knot, then weave in ends.

[@jordanhogan6312]

Do you have the pattern for the black and white plaid blanket shown at the beginning?

[@ModeBespoke]

hello I hope youre well I was wondering rn im crocheting with barnet baby blanket yarn that soft kind should i use regular sewing thread or my yarn thread? im not sure what to use bc i want it to be strong enough

[@ModeBespoke]

Hi there! Regular thread is fine. If I am thinking of the correct yarn, that’s a bulky yarn, isn’t it? You’ll have one hell of a time trying to sew with it. The yarn I used was a fingering yarn, so it was marginally thicker than cotton thread. Really, any sewing thread will work, and you can double up the thread if you want extra thickness.

[@Bettebet79]

Hi, Nice, succinct video :-) I am sewing a liner onto a chunky hand crochet blanket. How wide a stitch can I get away with? Thank you

[@ModeBespoke]

Thank you! 🤔 I wouldn’t go bigger than a quarter inch (about half a cm)

[@Bettebet79]

That small 😮

[@forcommenting3143]

Helpful, just what I needed! Thanks!

[@Unknown07-3-]

What kind thread or yarn you used to hand sew them together, if it’s not rude to ask :D

[@星空-i1k]

I think it would be much easier to line a blanket after blocking. The corners would be straighter too.

[@ModeBespoke]

It probably is (I’m just lazy 🙈)

[@Unknown07-3-]

Did you use Caron Simply Soft Solids Yarn for sewing the fabric and blanket together or use a different yarn or thread?

[@ModeBespoke]

I used a fingering yarn to sew the two together. The simply soft would have been much too thick.

[@Unknown07-3-]

@@ModeBespoke would acrylic yarn do well with sewing them together?

[@ModeBespoke]

I don’t see why not. Alternatively, you can use regular sewing thread.

[@Unknown07-3-]

@@ModeBespoke thank you so much :D

[@vivekanewkirk]

I finger crocheted a chunky blanket with gauge 7 chenille yarn. Am I able to just use a smaller g yarn of the same color?

[@ModeBespoke]

🤔 good question. As far as the yarn is concerned, you can use whichever you prefer. Not sure about finger Tunisian crocheting though. It’s never occurred to be, and it’s an interesting idea! If you do try it out, let me know how it worked out.

[@cerinespeaks971]

Can I use a swing machine? For this thank you for your beautiful videos

[@ModeBespoke]

Sure, why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@miriea8504]

Wanting to line a big blanket. What do i do if i don't want a loooooooong piece of string?

[@ModeBespoke]

Just work a small section at a time. I’m also not a fan of too long a string (the tangles are unreal!)

[@deninevh]

Hello and thank you for this! I didn't see a link for the fingering yarn, which is probably right in front of me. Can you tell me which one you used? I don't want to screw this up, lol.

[@ModeBespoke]

Hello! I used Woolike, but Loops and Threads. If you’re in the U.S., you can find it at Michael’s stores.

[@deninevh]

@@ModeBespoke Great, thank you, and thank you for your time in making this vid. I'm probably going to buy this argyle pattern, as well. And cry a lot, lol. Thanks again!

[@ModeBespoke]

😂 no, you got this!! It’s really not as complicated as it looks, I promise. Just get that first stitch of the argyle down and spaced out how you want them and that’s it. The rest is cake!

[@Jyxorz]

Would this work for a large hexagon style blanket ?

[@ModeBespoke]

I don’t see why not, so long as you cut the fabric in the shape you need and leave a little ease for sewing.

[@samanthahead5736]

Can I add a border to the sewed edge?

[@ModeBespoke]

Why not? I bet it would look great!

[@CatrinaMcPherson]

What is the fabric you used called 😊

[@ModeBespoke]

Don’t know, it was just a soft jersey-knit fabric I found in the fabric aisle 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@CatrinaMcPherson]

It looks so soft and love the stretchy I am going on a fabric hunt 😂 wish me luck 🤞🏻

[@ModeBespoke]

Good luck!! 🍀

[@puppie321]

What kind of fabric is it? Is it like a jersey knit? Or bamboo?

[@ModeBespoke]

Jersey knit, though bamboo would have been amazing to find!

[@sharonhamilton6107]

Not being rude. Simple question. Does everyone have to chatter a lot vs jumping right in. Everyone of tutorials. Chatter a lot. I finally go find written instructions

[@ModeBespoke]

Not being rude, but I don’t know and don’t care what everyone else does.

[@MissCandyTattoo]

I’m sorry, but you ARE being rude.

[@ravenjackson1169]

Not being rude but you don’t have to watch her video.

[@ThoughtfulPotato]

Ok, I know you didn't WANT to be rude but that is hella rude anyway... Remember, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything... This is the nice side of the internet. Don't muck it up please...
