Hello Beautiful Humans!
Today I wanted to cover how to pad stitch an interlining. When I teach sewing and historical tailoring classes in person I always seem to have people astonished by the amount of hand sewing it can take to complete one of my garments. I was that person too when I started. I remember swearing I would never put that much hand sewing into a garment, and then I slowly realized skipping these steps was not giving me the results I wanted. This video is dedicated to me 7 years ago, and anyone else who is looking for the next step to improve their tailored garments. I hope this video is inspiring and helps to demystify some of the basic techniques I use in my videos and garments. If you have another technique you would like me to do a deep dive tutorial on please let me know in the comments. In the modern day, professional tailors go through years of apprenticeship to learn their trade and I don't want anyone to be confused here. I am not a tailor. I have done alterations and working on military uniforms, but I was not trained as a professional tailor. If you would like more information on this and other tailoring techniques from the source I am going to recommend the resources linked below. These are affiliate links to books on Amazon if you would like to support my channel by using the links below.If you're not an Amazon fan you can also look up the authors independently.
