Interfacing

German:
Einlage

Interfacing is an additional layer that gives an area more body, at collars, cuffs and button plackets for example. It can be fusible or sew in.

In the file

Interfacing pieces are derived from the outer fabric piece. In a vector program or pattern CAD the shape is copied and trimmed back rather than measured off again.
