"Irene Scott"
complicated
Never having made a lined coat I can't say, but as this shirt was already made and in use, I don't think I could have done it the right way. From what I see of the one lined coat pattern I have, it has to be done as it is built.
Anyway, as I have minimal standards at this point, I would say it turned out pretty well.
While still in the pinning and cutting stage it became obvious that if I turned the lining shirt inside out, all the seams would be hidden so I did this first. I slashed the back from hem up to around 3" below the collar and took up about two inches of bulk in the center.... sort of a big dart. The lining shirt is XL and the wool one is just large.
I cut off the collar just above the stand, folded this over and stitched this to the wool shirt below the stand by machine. I then folded the facings under and stiched this to edge of the facing of the wool shirt. I cut off the about half of the cuff and rolled it back and stitched it to the wool shirt just below the cuff by hand just catching the top of the wool shirt. I put a few stitches at top and bottom of armholes to anchor the sleeve.
All that is left is to adjust and secure the hem.
Not exactly haute coture but neither is the wool shirt I lined. It is my first home spun/woven shirt and in spite of it's warts, I love it.
There is a picture of it at the end of my fiber page.
