I didnt realize when I embarked upon my sewing adventures that lining would fill my dreams and nightmares.
Anyone else sick of lining?
I started making a cape- with lining and INTERLINING, no less. Aargh!
For all the lining-fearing out there, this basic video explains so much, and provides some support down that lonely, and slippery poly satin path. (and what a cute jacket she's making!)

Here's a different link with similar information.
Oh wow, lining and interlining a cape. I had nightmares with linin my first skirt. This thought sends me running in terror!
ReplyDeleteI used to love lined garments, and every single skirt I sew had to be lined, until I moved to a beach town.
ReplyDeleteMy first and only attempt to wear a lined skirt outdoors lasted 20 minutes. Now I consider myself a lining-free sewer :)
Thanks for your thoughts on lining, Rita, and Daligula. Besites the basic construction fesars I have, I'm also having a bulk problem with lining...no so on the cape yet, but on past skirts- like the tweed one and the leopard print one. Is that a problem with my choice of materials (I used some kind of cotton for one, and some kind of cotton/poly blend for the other) or my construction method, you think?
ReplyDeleteMmm... I would say it's your choice of materials. I used to use polyester lining, known here as poliseda -poly-silk-, I don't know how it's called in english, but it's a very thin, slippery fabric.
ReplyDeleteI never had any bulk problem with it.
