2-Piece Sleeve Lining Drafting

Lining patterns are not the same as self patterns!

When you make casual jackets or simple dresses, the lining is almost the same as the self. You only need to adjust the length depending on how you’re going to finish hem.

However, for some garments, the lining is not the same as the self. 

Did you watch the video episode 59?

When I draft waistcoat lining, it wasn’t the same as the self, right?

I add a tuck at the center back and make a 1-piece lining for the front.

When you draft blazer linings, you’ll do it a similar way. It needs 1 tuck at the center back to give a room for moving, and armhole lines are higher than self, etc.

Episode 60 is about sleeve lining. I show you how to make linings for a two-piece sleeve with a vent.

In the video, I show you this.

If you fold the line, you will have self vent and self facing. Oh,I'm talking about under sleeve and bule is self, yellow indicates lining.

But if the fabric is too thick, you can make like this. (See below)

Now the vent facing is lining. But we don't make top sleeve vent this way. Nobody wants to see the lining at the edge of the vent.
