First, the finished product. Then the tutorial~
The advantage of lining is right here.
I prefer more delicate items~
Let's show various linings:
Let me explain. When I first started making it, I made it too long. So the process images and various display images are from when it was initially made and were longer.
The real person in the top image is after it has been shortened to the appropriate length.
The outer fabric and lining are both scraps. The outer fabric scrap cost 10 yuan. The inner fabric was bought in 5-6 meters for a few yuan, which is very thin cotton. This time, it cost about 2 yuan.
Total cost: 12 yuan
Time spent: 2 evenings. One evening for cutting the fabric, one evening for making and taking tutorial photos~~
The images are still being edited.
Making tutorials is really a laborious task~~
Suggestion: It's best to choose a lining that doesn't have a distinguishable front and back. You know what I mean.
Otherwise, you'll have to differentiate between the outer and inner fabrics while sewing.
That would be quite tragic.
Additionally, if you're really confused, find something with a lining in your wardrobe or bag and study it~
If the fabric is relatively economical, trim the lining at this stage~
I have many fabric scraps, so I trimmed them after cutting~
Everyone can do it as they please~
Why should the lining be slightly shorter than the outer fabric?~
You can see that sometimes, if the lining of your clothes is poorly made, it might hang down due to gravity~ (I'm not good at physics)
This looks very unsightly~
Therefore, the body length of the garment should have the lining cut slightly shorter than the outer fabric, but only for the body part. If other parts are cut shorter, the outer fabric will look like it's being pulled by something, which is also unattractive.
In my case, I cut the lining exactly the same as the outer fabric first, so the seams on both sides align well. Actually, the inside is not visible, and the sleeves can also be cut from a single piece of fabric~
I directly included the simpler processes in the images.
Start sewing the outer and inner fabrics together
At this point, pay attention to sewing the right sides together~
An essential step for a neat finish—basting
Finally, the editing is done
This part is a bit complicated.
Pay extra attention. I can't explain it too clearly.
I've marked everything I could.
Next is attaching the collar.
There are several ways to attach the collar.
I personally find this method convenient for lining, and there are no visible stitches.
The following images show where the lining should be shorter than the outer fabric after attaching the lining.
