Curated by ITF
Curated by In the Folds
Are you ready to make clothes you will wear, love and cherish?
In the Folds offers a monthly subscription that brings together patterns, techniques and answers your specific questions, all in one place, within the In the Folds community.
Curated by ITF projects will help you learn more skills, instead of just making more clothes.
Sewing a handmade wardrobe you are proud of is about learning the skills and building on them over time. With these resources (and access to our online community group), you will build a resource and pattern library that you can refer to on your handmade journey, empowering you to sew a wardrobe that you love, one piece and one skill at a time. We are excited for you to join us.
More information about Curated by In the Folds can be found here.

This tier allows another maker access to the subscription (which we will organise). It is not gifting to a friend. If you would prefer to gift a membership to a friend or family member, select this membership tier and provide us with their name and email address in the notes at checkout. Please be aware that at this stage, gifted memberships are a manual process (we're working on it), which means your friend or loved one will not receive the project instantly.

This Month's Project
What do you do when you’ve chosen a pattern and found the perfect fabric… except it’s a little too sheer and the pattern isn’t lined?
Or you want to add a lining to a coat you’re going to make for a top quality finish?
Or if a skirt needs a lining so it doesn’t cling?
Knowing how to draft and sew linings is a fantastic skill to add to your toolkit. Never pass on a pattern you love because it isn’t lined, and extend the functionality of the patterns you already own!
Part one of our latest In the Folds garment sewing series, the Drafting linings Skills Kit is a comprehensive guide to drafting linings for a number of garments from our ITF range.
Learn about the purpose of linings, different lining types and how to draft linings for jackets and coats; skirts with waistbands, waist facings, and side splits; and dresses with and without sleeves, with tutorials for the Ormond coat pattern, Barkly skirt pattern, and the Stow and Cartwright dress patterns.
Equipped with these extensive new patternmaking skills, you can then apply the knowledge to other designs in your own personal pattern collection!
The skills covered in this Kit:
-
Lining jackets and coats, with the Ormond coat pattern
-
Lining skirts with waistbands, waist facings and side splits with the Barkly skirt pattern
-
Lining dresses with and without sleeves, and how to draft a neckline facing, with the Stow dress and Cartwright dress and top patterns.
Please note: Although the tutorials from the Drafting linings Skills Kit can be applied to a range of patterns, the tutorials are based on the In the Folds Ormond, Barkly, Stow and Cartwright patterns. To begin with, for a more enjoyable experience, we recommend working through the tutorials using the related patterns, before applying them to other patterns. Current Curated members can purchase all four related patterns from our Past Issues catalogue for $15AUD (plus taxes).
Mighty Networks group
We will be working on everything together in our private, online community on the Mighty Networks platform. This means that you will be able to ask questions, share your makes and connect with other makers who are also on a mission to learn new skills and sew clothing in a slow and conscious way.
Difficulty
The content covered in the Drafting linings Skills Kit is suitable for sewists of all levels.
If you have never attempted patternmaking before, drafting linings is a great place to start your journey and will give you an opportunity to learn and apply the basics.
Digital product details
The Drafting linings Skills Kit: 84 oages of patternmaking tutorials and content. The booklet is suitable for printing on both A4 and US letter sized paper, or can be viewed onscreen using a PDF viewer.
