Sew all-in-one facings: Burrito method for pull-on tops & dresses

[@tashacouldmakethat]

But what if you want to do all-in-one facings for dresses with a center back zipper?? Don't forget to check out my other tutorial for that! 👉🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2LFlWuAr7WnfdEsi=OuWWKaRCUx8yCMAn

This was amazing! Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@denisevitale4692]

You are a fabulous teacher. I've watched other videos describing how to do this method and didn't get it. You made it so clear.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks so much!

[@kellymartin1176]

I have been sewing for 40 plus years and never heard of burrito method until a few years ago. When did it get invented? Glad it did - I use it all the time now 😊

[@tashacouldmakethat]

That's a great question and I don't know the answer! When I found this specific technique almost a decade ago, I don't remember that it was really called a burrito method at that time. But then since then, I've learned about it for other areas, like sewing the gusset of underwear or the back yoke of a menswear pattern, when I've heard the term more recently. I wonder if the technique has been around for ages without a name, but wasn't in patterns because it would be overly complicated to draw. Imagine that in one or two drawings in a standard pattern, lol!

I'm trying to imagine the image to show this method of construction. My head hurts now! lol

[@Kakkydidit]

This is a terrific demonstration of the burrito method. I've seen good ones, but yours is the best. Thanks for the tips about the all in one facing, too. - Kelly

[@dorothydishman4664]

Nicely presented in an easy to follow pace. Thanks much.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! ☺️

[@kristinasantos-badiee9291]

Oh my goodness, you are literally the only video that explained this method in a way that I can easily understand ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for this.

[@minamessage]

First time I’ve understood this method. Thank you for your excellent tutorial. Now to go off and try it!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're so welcome, glad it helped make it click for you!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

You're good! It's tricky to explain this one in a way that makes sense! I'm saving this as an easy reminder. Thanks

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're very welcome!

[@loissage3630]

I was sewing a pattern with this facing, coincidentally when I was notified of this video. I was so excited to be able to try it while I watched your video. I had a great result and it was so much fun! Thank you!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

So glad to hear it!

[@julieh4816]

I have looked everywhere for this! I could find the burrito method for a back facing but not for both, thank you very much.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Glad I could help! ☺️

[@HelenG-xg3gn]

Another great demonstration. Very clearly explained and the visuals are good too.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Many thanks!

[@intenebrisveritas]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I always struggled to understand how burrito rolls work, or even WHY the process was necessary, so seeing it in action really helped to finally get it!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! The first time I hunted down if there way a way to do this without hand sewing, there was only one tutorial I could find and it was hard to visualize in pictures. I'm glad seeing it in action made it click!

[@GloFukuda-wn9lr]

The best explained demo of this technique that I have seen. Thanks

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Wow, thank you! 🥰

[@NaneeH63]

Thank you!

[@Afreshneedle]

I definitely needed this two days ago before I screwed up my bodice 😅 Thanks so much for this tutorial, very helpful!!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're welcome! And at least it'll be there for you next time! ☺️

[@tattoed_baker_crafter]

Incredibly easy to understand. Thank you so much 👍

[@meganschweizer6697]

This fabric is adorable! I love how clean all-in-one facings look and how well they behave!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks, isn't that so cute? I couldn't resist those swizzle stick straws, I used to love those as a kid. "How well they behave" -- yes! Best thing about all-in-one facings! No shoving them back in to keep them in place or any other monkey business.

[@renh9717]

This is such a good tutorial! I used the previous one with a back zipper to put in a lining to a sleevless dress, it was like magic lol.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks so much! So glad the first one helped, and now you can do the magic for non-zip items too 👏🏼🪄

[@donnacoleman4624]

This is great, I will be using this method in the future. Thank u!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're so welcome!

[@BritInvLvr]

Thank you so much. I now make all in one facing for all my garments.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Yay!

[@lighthseskr]

Great tutorial.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you!

[@kckazcoll1]

thank you, Tasha! So clearly demonstrated and explained :)

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! I'm glad it was easy to see what was going on, that's the worst part about filming something where what you're doing is a bit hard to explain. ☺️

[@chippy1948]

Fabulous thank you so much! So clear in how you describe the process and showed on screen.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that since I really tried to make sure it was clear so you could see the process, since it's a bit unusual. ☺️

[@jennyhoward8655]

Thanks for a great instructional video. The fabric is so cute, hope you enjoy wearing it!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much! And I think that fabric is so fun.

[@IAmCraftingAgain]

Works with no zips! Great! So happy to see this! All my summer dresses and pinefores are like this as I don't tend to need zips, and the facing are so messy and flappy!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Down with flappy facings! 🤣 Yes, this is perfect for things that pull on, or have a lower side zipper. And it's fun to do the burrito trick, too!

[@IAmCraftingAgain]

I'm just so happy to find this trick, you've made my week! And improved many clothing items to come

[@tashacouldmakethat]

@@IAmCraftingAgain That makes me so happy to hear. 🥹

[@KarenMcNeil-en2fn]

Extremely well explained. Thanks 🙂

[@tashacouldmakethat]

@@KarenMcNeil-en2fn thank you!!

[@sallygarza5989]

Thank you, tried it today, works beautifully

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Wonderful! 🙌🏼

[@geebee3100]

so good 💗 thank you 💕

[@maryann1187]

Great tutorial! Very clear explanation!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks!

[@ellenriedesel5318]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're welcome! It's such a fun technique.

[@LydiaDeHep]

I think you should release a pattern similar (not same 😆) to that vintage pattern 👏🏻

[@Maridith2]

Thank you for this video..☺️ AND,, What pattern is that beautiful Red top you are wearing??? 🙌

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks! If you mean the red top in the beginning, it's a Jennifer Lauren Gable top, one of my favorite patterns. 😊

[@Anna-jq2qi]

OMG before I even watch the video… what top are you wearing and what fabric?? It’s gorgeous ❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Not sure which top you mean, but if it's the red slash neck, it's a Jennifer Lauren Gable top, in a wool blend knit that's no longer available.

[@Anna-jq2qi]

@@tashacouldmakethat Thank you! That’s the one I meant. It looks great on you! 😍

[@maryann1187]

How do you keep from seeing the bulk (hemmed edge of facing) show through the bodice? Would a serged or zigzag edge lay flatter than a hemmed edge? Would a muslin weight fabric be better for that? Is this only for woven fabric? Sorry for so many questions….. just realized your bodice was woven. ❤️

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Knit fabrics don't tend to use facings, you're usually finishing with a turned in hem or a band. This is an opaque woven that I was using, so I could really do whatever I wanted and I didn't find the fabric too thick for a turned under hem. You don't see it at all. But I often just serge the raw edge. Or you could use a thinner weight fabric. So basically any of the options you proposed could be good in a thinner or more sheer fabric, or if you were worried about bulk. ☺️

[@sandreawhite7534]

I guess I’m confused. Why did you cut the neckline and the arm hole smaller so it rolls to the inside and then under stitch too? I despise under stitching. I think it looks terrible. I take steam and I use it down as well. Lays well as long as the garment and I don’t have that ugly stitching. Very nice video by the way I’m very very very good instructions. Wonderful teacher..

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! Understitching and trimming the seam allowances go hand in hand to help eliminate the facings rolling to the outside. Each works, but they work *better* as a team, you know? Even most vintage RTW pieces have understitching around the facings to keep them in check. I find it takes less effort to help keep them looking good after the laundry that way too. A very compelling reason to me since most of what I sew goes in the washing machine. lol I think understitching looks nice, and no one sees it to boot. But hey, to each their own-- we can do the techniques we like and not do the ones we dislike. ☺️

[@BlueMelissa]

Can you do this for a waistcoat or coat?
