How to sew facings on a lined garment | Secure and clean finish

Want your facings to stay neatly in place on a lined garment? This tutorial walks you through a simple technique to secure facings invisibly and keep your garment looking polished from the outside. Follow the written instructions below to learn how to stitch your facings by hand for a clean, professional result – perfect for jackets, dresses, and coats with linings.

🪡 Materials Needed:

• Hand sewing needle
• Pins or clips

1. Prepare the Garment

Turn your garment inside out so the wrong side is facing outward. Position the facing against the main fabric, right sides together, making sure everything is properly aligned.

2. Sew the Facing in Place
Stitch along the lower edge of the facing, stopping precisely at the edge. This helps secure the facing to the garment neatly at the seam.

3. Secure the Facing by Hand
Using a needle and thread, hand stitch the edge of the facing to the wrong side of the garment. Take a tiny stitch in the garment fabric and one in the seam allowance of the facing – just like when securing a facing inside a sleeve. This method anchors the facing without visible stitching on the outside.

4. Check and Press (Optional)
Make sure everything lies flat and smooth. Press the facing lightly if needed to keep it crisp and hidden on the inside of the garment.
