Fusible Interfacing Question

I received an e-mail from someone inquiring about the fusible interfacing pieces so I'm going to cut and paste the question and my reply in case any one else has the same question in the future.

>Hi April,


>I am in the midst of sewing the oliver + s SWINGSET TUNIC & SKIRT.


>Thanks for your pictorial blog, but I still cannot understand "Assemble the

>front bodice" on page 2 of the instructions.

>

>Step 1 says: Fuse a 1 1/4" strip of interfacing to the wrong side of the

>back bodice pieces where indicated on the pattern piece.

>I cannot observe any indications on the pattern piece that I have.

>

>Please help me so that I can get on with my project.

>Can you give me advice about the method I should use to line the ruffle?

>Their instructions do not include a lining. Should I sew the ruffle and then

>the ruffle lining separately, and then attach both of them to the bodice?

>Would that make it too bulky? I am using a beautiful 100% cotton fabric

>(can't recall the name of the designer) that I purchased at a great shop in

>Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where we vacationed recently.

>

>I thought that I was a pretty good seamstress. I made my daughter's wedding

>dress from a very complicated Vogue pattern. Maybe since I've been spending

>most of my time quilting, I have lost the "touch."

>

>Thank you very much!
