Hi,
I'm a new member and I can't tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy the informations on your site.
I always have trouble sewing a facing on a blouse, it never seems to fit properly,when I read the instruction on the pattern, it should fit and cover the shoulder seam, but it is always to short, sewing the collar is also a problem for me.
Please help, your instructions are so detailled and well explained, that I am sure you will make it so easy for me. Thank you again for your work.

Thank you Nehzat for your information, maybe it will be easier now.
Will you be teaching the drafting and sewing of a blouse in a near future?

Re: Sewing a Blouse
Dear nicgir,
Yes we will be making a video lesson on how to draft a sleeve block pattern first, then we will be making different outfits using that.
Happy sewing,

facing shrinkage
Why don't the pattern companies tell us stuff like this?
I'm learning so much already!
Thanks

Dear nicgirl,
Welcome to eSewingWorkshop. Right now we have a lesson that shows how to prepare the pattern for facing, then cut and fuse interfacing to it and sew it to the top of a dress.
If you watch the Dress Sewing Video Lesson, especially the chapters below, you will learn a lot about how to prepare the facing before joining it to your garment.
8. Drafting the Front and Back Facing Patterns
9. Adding Seam Allowances to the Patterns
11. Cutting out the Pattern
15. Fusing the Interfacing to the Facing
16. Transferring the Marks from the Pattern to the Fabric
39. Basting the Facing Pieces in Place
42. Sewing the Facing by Machine
Most of the time we fuse interfacing to the facing. If you cut your facing larger than the pattern, then fuse interfacing to it, then lay the pattern on it and trim away the excess fabric you will not have a small facing. There is always some shrinkage when we fuse interfacing to the facing because of the heat and steam of the iron. By doing this you can avoid this problem. This is assuming that you are fusing interfacing to the facing
I will add your suggestion to my list for up coming lessons.
Happy sewing,
Nehzat
