I finally got my skirt lining made up today. I cut it from the same patterns as the skirt pieces as Jill said it would support the shape of the garment, and high fashion garments are made like that. I even edge stitched around the curve of the hip to hold down the seam on the other side. When I came to fit the waist band it was too short. This was unusual because it happened to the toile waistband too; and I had added a couple of centimeters onto the pattern piece for the proper skirt. Jill checked my patterns and said the only thing that could have happened is that I have been sewing with the seam allowance just under 1cm at each seam on the panels therefore it has all added to the waist and caused the band to be too short. I had used the rest of the fabric that the waistband is from so I couldn’t cut another one there and then; it will have to wait till next week.
