I finished cutting out the lining fabric this morning. I have the serger threaded; I like to finish the edges of my jacket seams even though I am going to line the jacket. I serge finish the lining fabric most times. A few times in recent months I have not. The seams are well protected as they are up against the jacket seams, so there should not be additional raveling.
What do you do with lining fabric- serge edges, pink the edges with pinking shears, or do nothing or do something else?
I just got home from grocery shopping as well as window shopping. I did purchase a couple of sweater knit tops at Belks. They were having a sale and I have not been able to sew as much as I had hoped on tops. I have some knit tops that need to go to Goodwill. Many are in good shape; I am just tired of wearing them and a few are just to large now.
Drinking a Peppermint Mocha to boost my energy and will head to sewing room soon.
More sewing updates later.

A peppermint mocha sounds like a great idea! Regarding lining, I have started to always serge finish all of the lining edges and then use the sewing machine to stitch the seams. I have had a few garment linings that became shredded at the seams if I just serged the seams only, so now I like to have a little buffer there.
ReplyDeleteI have used the lining from Hades before and yes it was best to have serged it.
DeleteI've started serging my seam allowances in jackets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment!
DeleteI serge my lining because I use Bemberg lining most of the time and they fray so badly that's why I serge. I need a booster too.:)
ReplyDeleteTrue about Bemberg lining, I have learned that this type lining does better with serged edges.
