Easy Guide to Sewing Linings

There are wonderful advantages to lining what you sew. A lining makes a garment drape better, last longer, and easier to slip on and off. Some linings add warmth, while others can keep a jacket cool enough for summer, but they all make a garment look great inside. In Easy Guide to Sewing Linings, you will learn all of the available options, whether you are lining a tailored jacket, a lacy top, or a favorite sweater.

You will learn how to:

• make a lining pattern when the garment pattern doesn't include one
choose the lining style that best suits your needs
• sew both traditional and quick linings
• line a sheer or lace garment
• line a vented skirt
• put a zip-out lining in your coat
