I eliminated the hems and facings for the lining, so it just went to the edges of the outer coat; the outer facings and hems folded over, enclosing the lining. Top-stitching and edge-stitching kept it all in place. I was very happy with the result (and still am!). This is one of my favorite coats, and it still feels terrific every time I wear it. Doing the lining was more time and effort, as you note, but I can honestly say that I've gotten pleasure way out of proportion to the effort expended. Good luck with yours!

Thanks! Would you tell me whether you simply underlined each piece, or did some more complex approach to lining, and whether you were satisfied with your method? I can tell it added time and labor, which is to be expected, but yours is certainly beautiful! If possible, please reply to my email address. Thanks much!
