Interlining, interfacing and the many other ‘inters’ how do these work? Listen I hated interfacing

Описание: Interlining, interfacing and the many other ‘inters’ how do these work? Listen I hated interfacing for the longest time, applying it, cutting it, buying it….but I get why we need it. A great example i can remember in the recent past was that gorgeous jacquard corset-the weave of the material is loose and shifts around a lot, and so I used fusible interfacing to stop that movement, add structure and make it work for my project. Fusible interfacing works great for certain materials, but will cause bubbles in others, like chiffons, light weight satin, etc. . A lot of couture corsets (traditional not the modern sheer ones) use a material called coutil as a sew in interfacing. This is a strong woven fabric that supports the lining and fashion fabrics of the corset. To use sew in interfacing you add it by sewing it around the entire edge of the pattern piece, inside your seam allowance! . Which of course leaves interlining. We see interlining a lot in suits and in coats. If you have a nice coat (not a fast fashion one) you might notice how heavy it is, and how stiff it feels. That’s likely because there is an interlining added for extra warmth. Interlinings come in a variety of materials and have more than one application. You’ll see interlinings in suit lapels too, for structure and support! . Both of these methods have their places and what’s fun is when we see designers using these materials for non traditional methods (ie Schiaparelli using interlining for gowns). It’s fun knowing the new and exploring and expirementing with it! A teacher of mine once said ‘it’s good to know the rules so you can break them’ and this is a great example of that! . Have you used interfacing or interlining? #sewing #sewingtutorial #sewingforkids
