Laurens Top Sewing Tips - Interfacing for dressmaking

[@GagaKnits]

I find these videos really helpful. There's always some great tips and the right way to use interfacing has been a bit of a mystery until now. Another tip I picked up recently was to put greaseproof paper on you ironing board underneath the fabric and interfacing to protect it from the glue. X

I feel so knowledgable after watching your tutorials. Thanks 👍🏼

Very useful information! Thank you for making these tutorials.

Thank you Lauren some good tips . Love the fabric you put interfacing on its beautiful

[@jennysutton4988]

Very helpful - really great video series. Using the wrong weight in interfacing has caught before. So matching the weight to the fabric makes sense. I did assume that the weight might change based on the part of the garment - i.e. a waistband might need a heavier weight interfacing than a placket or a collar. So I am glad you clarified that! Thanks.

thank you very much, Lauren, for the instructive tutorial I did not know about the woven and not differences though they had stability just the same

[@jodieroundtree488]

Thanks! Helpful. I needed that 2 months ago when I was having mysterious trouble with a coat- yup. Took it apart and ironed in interfacing

[@mscatzord]

I always enjoy your sewing tips! I missed hearing about knit interfacing and types of stretch...

[@sallydingle321]

Spot on as usual Lauren 👌... thanks so much 😁💝😘

Hi Lauren, could you do a video on the different types of crepe. For example triple crepe, viscose crepe etc etc I have no idea. Your videos are brilliant Thanks you Elaine x

[@LaurenGuthrieGhani]

Hi Elaine, I do cover that a bit in my video sewing with slippery fabrics, but I'll add it to my list anyway :)

Living in Switzerland as I have for eleven years makes a Scottish voice very nostalgic for me

Thanks so much for this. Very helpful as always!!!

[@mattyice7546]

This video is perfect for me! Thank you! Also you are extremely beautiful!

[@Littlerosycheeksuk]

Hi Lauren, great video! I was wondering what weight of interfacing you use for your denim and also what do you use for your pressing cloth. I bought one from Lakeland and it tends to leave a grid mark on my fabric. I've heard people using silk organza. Thank you so much x

[@hjkennaugh]

Thanks Lauren. I have been sewing for many years and often wonder if I am using the correct interfacing. It is good to have this overview because then you know everything that is out there which is not perhaps all available in a particular shop. Will you be doing one on neckline, shoulder and hem stabilisers too coz that would be very useful. I have stuff I have bought that I am not even sure what to use it for, though I definitely needed it at the time. Lol

[@LaurenGuthrieGhani]

that's a great idea, I'll add it to my list!

[@stuartfraser5772]

Hi Lauren. Do you recommend pre-washing the interfacings before using them? Many thanks

[@lucykelland9054]

Hi Lauren. I find that I'm sometimes left with little offcuts of interfacing. Was wondering is it ok to piece together bits or should you just stick with one piece? Thank you.

[@autumncallison5575]

Very helpful video! You mentioned you used interfacing on I’m your coat. Did you also line your coat? Or did the interfacing act as the liner?

[@LaurenGuthrieGhani]

Hello, yes I used lining as well :)

[@KINGTHEYORKIE]

Does linen uses interfacing? I have a simplicity pattern 8137 and I want to make the long on. Yes But I am not sure if I need to add interferencing to linen Great information!!

[@LaurenGuthrieGhani]

Hello, yes I would say do use interfacing on linen if the pattern generally recommends facing anyway. Just make sure you choose an interfacing that most closely matches the thickness of your fabric :)
