I usually bag the lining and have no reignite when using that method, but didn't this time because I was following the patten guide. I will definitely incorporate your tips. And I didn't even mention the flaps and how I fought with them. And I did mark them for placement first. I think I forget to re check them when I altered the front of the jacket. Lol. But I will not be defeated.

Sorry the jacket gave you so much grief!!! H...Hey! Sorry the jacket gave you so much grief!!! Here are some tips that I hope you can use going forward. When I cut my lining fabric and the pattern piece is the same (not a special drafted lining pattern piece) I cut an inch off the sleeves and 1/2 inch off the body pieces. I also sew my under arm seams (lining) 1/8th bigger and grade down at the elbow to the seam allowance used on the fashion fabric. Also make sure when you are marking your fabric that you use marks that don't disappear before you finish your work. The pocket flaps look a little off balance. I also use the "bagging the jacket" meathod used in "High Fashion Sewing Secrets from The World's Best Designers". Hope this helps!!! Great color and the buttons are the Bomb! Give it another try - Second time is always a charm just be glad you can actually wear this jacket and it's not a wadder! Erica B. made this jacket and her's is nice. She mentioned she will make it again with some minor adjustments. Check out her review.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595297306976390158noreply@blogger.com
