To "burrito" or not to “burrito". Enclosing YOKE seams 4 WAYS. UNSEEN EASIER LATERAL methods.

A Yoke is a beautiful feature that blouses, shirts & jackets have and some patterns will have you cut two yoke pieces and enclose the seams with a "burrito roll" method. Some patterns will have a single layer and its a shame.... but you can cut two :)

Today I am sharing alternative techniques to achieve the same beautiful neat result. You can choose different ways to approach this step according to fabric choice, shoulder details and preference.

Come on over and see 4 sewing techniques up close:
00:00 Intro
06:41 1. Burrito roll sewing the back seam first (pleat or gathers on the back)
13:22 2. Burrito roll sewing the shoulder seams first
19:51 3. Lateral enclosing sewing the back seam first (no burrito)
23:55 4. Lateral enclosing sewing the shoulder seams first (no burrito)

I don’t necessarily follow instructions rigidly. My opinions are honest, especially around fit and sewing techniques.
