How about hiding raw edges with lining pieces? is it the same way that you did here in this tutorial? I can't figure it out just by reading the written instruction that comes with commerical patterns. I would apprecitate if you could make a video about apply lining to a sleeveless dress possibly with a invisible zip! thanks a million. your demostration is the best! very clear and wellspoken!

@3838bbla In this tutorial I used facing to hide the raw edges so therefore the seams did not need to be covered by lining fabric. It is possible to neaten raw edges by using lining or another fabric but not in this case. I will be making a sleeveless dress with lining over the Christmas period so keep tuned.

Lucky me, I actually got it, I believe what I did was turn the sleeve to the right side, any way I got it last night, thank you

[judibooty40]

I am working on Simplicity 2591 and the sleeve is already attached then the facing goes on, but I can't figure out from the directions how to add the facing with the sleeve attached. ...this helps a lil bit but i'm still lost!

Hi

I have looked at your pattern but I'm not sure which view you are making.

Here are a couple of very quick and easy solutions:-

1. Sew the neckline facing first then trim and grade.

2. As your sleeve is already attached, you will have sew the armhole facing to the sleeve and bodice then sew through all thicknesses again. Once done, neaten the raw edge.

I hope this helps.

Thank You so much for this video! I struggled all last weekend trying to figure out how to do this on a garment I'm making....and I was missing a step. I'm not sure I would have ever figured this out...new to sewing!
