    To new sewers, interfacing is mysterious. Beginner sewers may not realize that there is a world of interfacing varieties. For experienced sewers, it is smart to refresh your understanding of the types and applications. Each type has a specific purpose, and once you know how to select the right one, you’ll be amazed by the improvements in your garments and other projects.

    There are those who love to make bound buttonholes, single- and double-welt pockets and other couture details, and there are those who put the pattern back in the drawer when they see such things.

    In this class you will learn a simple technique for sewing a single-welt pocket with just two pattern pieces.  This style of pocket is best suited to unlined, casual garments.

    Inset corners can appear in many areas of a garment—such as cut-on shawl collars, inset panels, and godets. Creating a clean, sharp corner can be tricky. In this class, you’ll learn two effective techniques for constructing inset corners, along with methods to stabilise them and prevent stretching or fraying.
