Heyhey,

here are the final steps of the jacket!

 pin the lining to the jacket, all around facing-neck-facing and leave your seam allowance open at the end

sew

sew the top of the sleeves of lining and jacket with a few stitches together, this keeps the lining in the sleeve

turn the jacket right side out

fold the lining up

and sew the down end also with a few stitches together

next pin the lining sleeve to the seam allowance of the sleeve (make sure its not turned around)

pull the sleeves through the still open hem, then pin the sleeve all around together and sew

last fold the lining up and pin it all around and sew with hand stitching

finished! I really like this pattern, I didnt do any buttons in it because I wear this kind of jackets always open. Next time I use it I will make the shoulders a little smaller, this way the sleeves will fit in better as well, I think. 🙂

All questions, ideas, suggestions and comments are most welcome!

And please vote for your favorite drawing, since its still a tie.

keep sewing and smiling
