How to Sew Covered Shoulder Pads

This week I show you how to give an unlined jacket a super neat finish inside by covering shoulder pads and adding a sleeve lining, which also helps with sliding the jacket on and off. I'll show you step by step how I covered the shoulder pad, used satin bias binding for a neat finish and added a sleeve lining plus some speed tailoring tips for achieving a nice crisp edge to a jacket cuff too. As always everything I use in the video is available on our website and is linked below.

Very helpful reminder and I love the extra allowance of the bias binding to allow movement for the shoulder pads. Thank you Lucy, Grace

Timely information for me. Got an unlined jacket under construction now. I typically sew lined jackets so this info is very helpful. Many thanks!

Beautiful job on the jacket. Watched your sleeve head video and put one in...then lined the sleeves (seen in your prev vid). I made my shoulder pads and was waiting for this vid for info on covering and attaching them. Thanks so much for these tutorials.

Love your videos I watch them all but can never see the links below that you mention?? Is it just me ??? Thanks again for your really informative videos.

Excellent tutorial! Question; did you grade or trim the arm hole seam before attaching the lining?

[@maureencullen1008]

Brilliant instructions.Could you have waxed your thread to stop it tangling or could the wax stain the fabric?
