Sew along with us as we walk you through all the steps to sew a perfect lining onto your blazer Joe.

Stitch 2 rows of basting stitches on the cap sleeve. 

Stitch the under sleeve and upper sleeve right sides together. Press seams open. Depending on your fabric, you may have to ease the sleeve sides a little during the assembly.

Sew the sleeve to the garment 1 cm from the raw edge. Press seams.

Try on your garment and make adjustements if necessary. Folding the armhole and sleeve seam allowances against the bodice or the sleeve cap can make a big difference. Choose your favorite option. Serge the seams together and understitch (approx a 4cm line around the shoulder notch).
