A Beginner's Guide to Pad Stitching

Hello Beautiful Humans! Today I wanted to cover how to pad stitch an interlining. When I teach sewing and historical tailoring classes in person I always seem to have people astonished by the amount of hand sewing it can take to complete one of my garments. I was that person too when I started. I remember swearing I would never put that much hand sewing into a garment, and then I slowly realized skipping these steps was not giving me the results I wanted. This video is dedicated to me 7 years ago, and anyone else who is looking for the next step to improve their tailored garments. I hope this video is inspiring and helps to demystify some of the basic techniques I use in my videos and garments. If you have another technique you would like me to do a deep dive tutorial on please let me know in the comments. In the modern day, professional tailors go through years of apprenticeship to learn their trade and I don't want anyone to be confused here. I am not a tailor. I have done alterations and working on military uniforms, but I was not trained as a professional tailor. If you would like more information on this and other tailoring techniques from the source I am going to recommend the resources linked below.
