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! 👉🏼 ruclips.net/video/u1bd8JzPtGo/видео.htmlsi=OuWWKaRCUx8yCMAn
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
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 😊
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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. ☺️
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!
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. ❤️
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. ☺️
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..
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. ☺️

This was amazing! Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
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.
Thanks so much!
First time I’ve understood this method. Thank you for your excellent tutorial. Now to go off and try it!
You're so welcome, glad it helped make it click for you!
Nicely presented in an easy to follow pace. Thanks much.
Thank you! ☺️
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.

I'm trying to imagine the image to show this method of construction. My head hurts now! lol
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
You're very welcome!
I have looked everywhere for this! I could find the burrito method for a back facing but not for both, thank you very much.
Glad I could help! ☺️
Another great demonstration. Very clearly explained and the visuals are good too.
Many thanks!

So glad to hear it!
Incredibly easy to understand. Thank you so much 👍
Thank you!
The best explained demo of this technique that I have seen. Thanks
Wow, thank you! 🥰

This is great, I will be using this method in the future. Thank u!
You're so welcome!
This fabric is adorable! I love how clean all-in-one facings look and how well they behave!

so good 💗 thank you 💕
Thanks for a great instructional video.
The fabric is so cute, hope you enjoy wearing it!
Thank you so much! And I think that fabric is so fun.
I definitely needed this two days ago before I screwed up my bodice 😅 Thanks so much for this tutorial, very helpful!!
You're welcome! And at least it'll be there for you next time! ☺️
thank you, Tasha! So clearly demonstrated and explained :)
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. ☺️
Fabulous thank you so much! So clear in how you describe the process and showed on screen.
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. ☺️
Thank you so much. I now make all in one facing for all my garments.
Yay!
Great tutorial.
Thank you!
I think you should release a pattern similar (not same 😆) to that vintage pattern 👏🏻
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.
Thanks so much! So glad the first one helped, and now you can do the magic for non-zip items too 👏🏼🪄
Thank you, tried it today, works beautifully
Wonderful! 🙌🏼
Great tutorial! Very clear explanation!
Thanks!
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!
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!
I'm just so happy to find this trick, you've made my week! And improved many clothing items to come
@@IAmCraftingAgain That makes me so happy to hear. 🥹
Extremely well explained. Thanks 🙂
@@KarenMcNeil-en2fn thank you!!
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! It's such a fun technique.
OMG before I even watch the video… what top are you wearing and what fabric?? It’s gorgeous ❤
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.
@@tashacouldmakethat Thank you! That’s the one I meant. It looks great on you! 😍
Thank you for this video..☺️ AND,, What pattern is that beautiful Red top you are wearing??? 🙌
Thanks! If you mean the red top in the beginning, it's a Jennifer Lauren Gable top, one of my favorite patterns. 😊

Can you do this for a waistcoat or coat?
