A neater way to finish your facings
You’ll usually be instructed to finish the exposed edge of an interfaced facing with an overlocker or zigzag stitch to stop things from fraying — but there’s another method that can give you an even neater finish.
In this Stitch School class, you’ll learn how to sew your interfacing (whether iron-on or sew-in) to your fabric instead, leaving you with a smooth seamed edge that looks lovely on the inside of your garment.
What you’ll learn
- Why sewing your interfacing to your fabric gives a neater finish than overlocking or zigzag stitching
- How to apply the method with both iron-on and sew-in interfacing
- How to get a smooth seamed edge on your facing

Incredibly versatile, the Penny Dress can be sewn in a huge range of woven fabrics. If you're a beginner we recommend choosing a cotton lawn, seersucker or linen, whilst intermediate stitchers can have fun with drape, with rayon, viscose and lightweight crepes. With minimal interruptions on the bodice and skirt, there's lots of scope to make a statement with a bold print for a trendy summer look.
