Sewing for beginners: How to easily line a bodice with a zip

[@pattireid5396]

I have been sewing for over 70 years. How I wish this tutorial had been available then. It is the simplest, most concise and easiest way to put in a lining I have ever seen. I am using it now for a christening dress for my first great grandchild. I have used it for 5 other garments before this one and they all turned out great. I won't ever use those awful, cheap looking facings again. Thank you for making sewing more rewarding and my granddaughter's dresses looking more professional.

[@rebeccap.40]

Very helpful. I would love to see a video showing the next step, attaching the skirt, and how the bodice lining is treated in that step. Thanks

[@Marinlss]

I bought a pattern with awful instructions and this video SAVED ME, thank your for making it so clear. I watched another video to do the pleated skirt and came back to finish ❤

[@mangolotus2000]

This tutorial is absolutely perfect. Easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate how this is done 🌹

[@redelephantsafari9217]

This is by far the best video I have come across . You have just saved my project for I didn’t know how else to sew up the sides seams before installing an invisible zipper . Thank you so very much .

[@carolynevans8826]

Best video of showing and explaining step by step. I've watched loads of videos and this is the only one that made sense, gave step by step and DIDNT RUSH. Will be using it step by step on my new sewing Venture SH

[@jennilira7526]

of the few videos that actually show clearly the steps! good job!thank you for this video!

[@stormdancer0]

SO glad to see I'm not the only one that resorts to doing projects on the floor!!!

[@torianoalonzo]

Thank you so much adding a lining of facing is so much easier than hemming arm and neck holes.

[@rachelmclane3727]

The video is nicely done and I like the close up views that you supplied at the end of the video. Your instructions were verbally clear and demonstrated nicely a tailored project. Thank you.

[@oluwakemicampbell7869]

I have seen several tutorials on how to line a bodice with a zip and this is the best,thanks

[@annholmes9650]

Lovely, I have been looking for a tutorial such as this, then I found yours! Fabulous, however, I would have liked to see you sew the other side of the zip in place. I am 76 and been sewing 70 years, starting with doll clothes and bits of torn of parachute silk when my father was stationed at RAF Church Fenton - happy days. Thank you so much for this tutorial. X x x

[@MyT.T215]

This was the most clearly instructed video on putting in a lining I have ever seen! Simple, to the point, clearly demonstrated and verbally understandable. Thank you!

[@cindylou5584]

Loved your video. Instructions were very clear. I only used it to figure out how to turn the bodice with the lining, once I figured out which seems I needed to sew. Thank you.

[@rosemariewildflower1]

BEST tutorial on lining a bodice EVER!

[@dollyrani6289]

Exactly what I was searching for... I have a dress I need to work on it but I was really worried because I had never sew a dress with lining and I was searching so hard for a video for help but didn't find one and some how I just saw this video after searching for hours so Thank you so much for this video. Very very very much helpful 👍

[@heathercontois4501]

Thank you. This makes so much more sense than the o structures in the pattern

[@TheDeborah89]

This is the best tutorial on attaching lining to the bodice. I hope you have made the video attaching the skirt to the bodice! Loved it! I just finished lining the bodice of my dress! It looks very professional! Thank you very much!!

[@annalamb8135]

Hay Rosa, I adore this octopus frock, the fabric is fun & funky. XX

[@Shadjvs]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I was looking for this specific lining method and couldn't find it anywhere else!

[@heysselg.3993]

You should become a sewing Bee!!! Thanks for your tutorials! Love the suggestions and great ideas!!!

[@pattiraithel5412]

Happy to see your octopus fabric made up in a dress. Great video, I learned alot.

[@pavlal.4552]

Thank you so much, exactly what I was looking for. It's like a magin when you pulled the main fabric from underneath the liner with zipper in between 😊 I had no idea that it can be done this way. Thank you so much once again 👍

[@Luke2128]

This was perfect. The best I've seen so far and I have searched and searched. Good close up and detail explanation. I would like to see how you attached the skirt.

[@torreycat7716]

Your floor is awesome! Great video, too. You are a good teacher.

[@patpatt4085]

Darling, it was clear and very easy to watch. It helped me and inspired me. Your dress is so cute, I would have never chosen that fabric but it is so cute. The pattern is flattering and you make it look so easy. I am learned and teaching myself. These shared videos are so wonderful! Thank you for your time and keep them coming. I would like to see how you manage a knit with double needles. Best to you.

[@Sewn]

Thank you Pat that is very kind. I too would like to see how I cope with double needles as I haven't yet to try! I use a stretch stitch on my usual sewing machine when I sew knits x

[@AleeyaIsEpic]

This is really nice. The whole process was alway confusing to me but thanks to you and your video, I think I can do this. I'd love to see more videos of adding linings to garments.

[@shaistaahmex2524]

Hi Rosa. Love this tutorial, you have an excellent knack of teaching and explaining! Please more of the same especially a tutorial of attaching a skirt and also how to add the sleeves ( unlined ) to a lined dress. Would love it! xx

[@tallywee9366]

Really nice video. Pleasure to watch it. Hope to see more of your projects.

[@nyokahowell2057]

This was very easy to follow. I love how your work was just neat. This step looks a lot easier than the other steps I have done.

[@marymary5494]

I’ve been sewing for 40 odd yrs but could still watch someone sewing for hours. Thank you 😊

[@quiltingjen]

Loved your video and such a great help for learning how to do a bodice lining. I’ve viewed a lot of videos and yours is by far the best. Thank you as I know this must have taken such a long time.

[@lashaunazurdia7035]

This is the best way I have seen this done....

[@marieclairevictoria2180]

I'd say this was clear enough and I truly appreciate this video tutorial. I do feel a little more confident now, confident enough to sew that lined laced dress with zipper I've been planning to do for what seems like ages. More power:-)

[@Sewn]

Yay glad I could help! Happy sewing x

[@PoppyNoir]

Love your videos so much, they are very clear and helpful for me, thank you so much for it! You mentioned under stitching, how does that work? Is it possible to make a video about it, I have no idea how this works. Most of the time I use top stitching.

[@michellevarner7922]

WOW! So funny! I went to look at the website for where you got that adorable pattern, and saw that the company is located right next to my house! Small world, watching a youtuber from the UK and finding a store in Torrance, California.

[@Sewn]

That's so cool! Small world indeed
