Ah your video was helpful! I would have to watch it again to truly understand it as I'm just briefly watching it. But your video gave my hope that it is possible to have a lining to an already existing coat!
A good video. A Tip when making the inside pocket - Make a Vee Shaped Inside Pocket out of Nylon Fabric folded into a Vee format, so there is no weak seam at the bottom to break with use, from my experience over two decades, Vee Shaped Nylon pockets last for decades, even with coins kept in them, so the Vee shape format eliminates weak seams at the stress points.
I am sure you are talented and good at what you do regardless, but doing something for someone you love always adds that extra element. You had that element!
Wow watching you do the selves was like magic. I get so confused but really appreciate that it can be done. My husband has a favorite suit coat that the lining has torn but I would never attempt to do this I think it will have to be done professionally.
You are so welcome! 🤩 turning sleeves like this can be a bit mind-boggling - I have done it wrong many times in the past. You can definitely do this, but if you feel it’s better to pay a professional to do this I am totally in favor! (I do it even at times myself)
Thank you so much Matti! I have an old tweed jacket which I love so much and now I'm going to replace it's shaggy lining to make it new again...just as you showed ;-)
I was surprised that my new Corneliani overcoat isn’t fully lined. I’m going to see if the store I bought it from will do it. I’m glad to know it can be done!
It’s a common way to save money (for brands), but if you want to have your overcoat for many years to come and / or make it warmer it is a good move to line it 😊
@@missmatti I most definitely will! Aside from being warmer and lasting longer, it’s also an additional stylistic element. Plus it makes sliding the jacket over a blazer or suit jacket easier. Corneliani isn’t exactly a discount brand; I wouldn’t expect them to try to save money like that!
I am sure it’s a company that values quality. It might be other reasons too why they didn’t line it too - hard for me to tell without seeing it 😊 However, I really hope they can help you add a beautiful lining! 😄
@@missmatti they do! Their overcoats are amazing. $2,500 very well spent. I spoke with the store that I bought it from. They’ll gladly add a liner for me. That and a set of Benson & Clegg buttons. It’ll be great once I get it back!
Be great if you could put together a video of you lining a coat that doesn’t already have a lining and show your own cloning process for creating a new pattern for the lining, then attaching the lining on a long (ankle or calf length) ladies’ coat.
You can definitely have lining without sleeves, but how well it works depends a lot on the design on your garment & the material it’s made of. If you get sweaty I would look into a lightweight breathable material for the sleeves such as a linen, silk, cotton, bamboo or a light-weight merino wool. If you plan to actively work out in your jacket/coat I would look at moisture wicking active wear fabrics. Maybe a mesh lining at the sleeves would be a good option? I used to have a windbreaker lined with mesh which was great when I was sweating in it.
That’s awesome! Will you attach the lining yourself? I didn’t have the right tools for mine so I sent it to a leather repair shop but I think I would love to test doing it myself today ☺️
I’m glad you found it helpful! ☺️ I have additional lighting now since I made this video, but I think part of the problem is also I use black fabric which makes it trickier to se. Feel free to ask if something is unclear in the video!
Hi, Thank you for your lining coat video. I'm not replacing a coat lining. Instead, I'm sewing a childs coat using a 1949 sewing pattern. I really don't like the recommendation to attach the lining using a catch stitch. It didn't look nice attached to the neck facing. So, I machine stitched it there. Now I'm considering using a slip stitch to attach the rest of the lining instead of the slip stitch because I think it would be stronger. However, I think the catch stitch would be flatter and possibly more vintage looking. Do you have any hand stitch ideas for attaching the front facing to the lining?
Good question! I think a catch stitch would work but so would a ladder stitch / slip stitch if you want a more invisible stitching. I might personally prefer to use that to attach a lining over a catch stitch. Hope it helps and good luck with the child’s coat!
@@missmatti thank you so much for replying. I ended up using the catch stitch and it blends in well with the matching thread. I did slip stitch the bottom lining hem and other areas. Next I'm going to sew some buttonholes. Maybe after making a couple practice buttonholes. I am also going to pick stitch the inside of the lapel. Watching you reline a coat helped motivate me to attach a lining, by the way. Hearing someone talking about sewing is really nice, especially since I don't know anyone else who enjoys it. Thank you.
@@jes4026 That's amazing to hear! 😊It sounds like the coat is coming around nicely! If you have Instagram feel free to send me a message over there with a picture or tag me in a post once you are done I would love to see how this turns out. 🥰Good luck!
I wonder, would it be possible to only replace the underarm area somehow? I've recently become allergic to fragrances & cannot get the deodorant off of all my coats & jackets. I've already had to get rid of all my clothes.😞 It would be so much easier & affordable if I could figure out how to do that. I thought maybe I could cut that part out & replace it, but how would I keep it from fraying?🤔 I bought this fray glue, but it has fragrance in it.😖
Good point! I will do - the only fabric I think will be tricky to find is the fabric I used in the sleeves as that was bought 4 years ago now from a company called Stoff & Stil (a danish fabric store chain). But I will link something similar and the rest and let you know once I have done so!
Hello there, it's me again! I have a question: The coat I have doesn't have a lining, how can I get the peices to make a lining? Should I try to trace the coat's stiching patterns?
Yes exactly! There are some tutorials out there how to clone / copy clothes that might be helpful for you to check out. Then you need to adjust the pattern as follows: shorten the length of the garment so that the lining isn’t showing on hems (adjust the hem around 5-10 mm), raise the armhole around 1 cm for better arm movement and consider adding a centre back pleat for more ease. Hope it helps!
You show all the easiest bits in great detail and then rush through the most complicated stage - attaching the lining to the coat! It's fairly obvious how to remove the lining and make a pattern template. Machine stitching in the lining and bagging out is not at all simple but the video doesn't show clearly how to do it. What a waste of time watching the whole thing!
@@lizw121 sorry you can’t get your time back then 🤷🏼♀️ Anyway, this is an old video from over 6 years ago and I have improved a lot of my filming and editing skills since then. I have also a separate video on how I attached the lining to the coat vent which you might find useful. Otherwise attaching the lining isn’t that difficult other than making sure you attach the sleeves correctly.

@@kaichung2743 Oh wow! 🤩 Thanks for the tip! I have never sewn these type of pockets but I have seen them in some suits.
I am sure you are talented and good at what you do regardless, but doing something for someone you love always adds that extra element. You had that element!
🥰 that is actually true! Thank you for your kind words! ❤️
@@missmatti You’re welcome:). Again beautiful job! This is going to help me even though I am adding lining to a jacket that doesn’t have any. Eek!
That’s great! 😊 It makes them last longer with a lining plus they get a bit warmer. Good luck!
I recently bought a highwayman coat, and while the construction is lovely it wasn't lined. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
I’m so glad I could help❣️

This is amazing and so very helpful! Ive needed to reline one of my winter coats, yet had no idea how to do so. Thank you for posting!!
I’m so glad I could be of help! 🥰 Good luck with relining your winter coat!
Great video...very clear instructions
Thank you so much Matti! I have an old tweed jacket which I love so much and now I'm going to replace it's shaggy lining to make it new again...just as you showed ;-)
Amazing! Once you have replaced your lining tag or send me a DM on Instagram I would love to see how it turns out.
Wow! You make it look so easy ma'am! Im currently sewing a liner inside a denim vest! Thanks for the tutorial!
You are so welcome! Good luck with lining your denim west - you can do it! 👏🏻
@@missmatti Thank you ma'am! It turned out ok! Haha! I need more practice but not to bad for hand sewing on denim vest.
I’m impressed you were hand sewing on a denim vest! 😄
@@missmatti thanks Miss Matti! 💯
Thank you very much Matti.
I am glad I could help out! 😊

Brill. Think my little cuz had missed is vocation in life. Serious model moves :)
Haha I know I was pretty impressed with his performance! 😄
Great video, thank you 😀
Glad to hear you liked it! 😊

Noted! When I make a coat sometime in the future I will definitely film a tutorial on how to create a lining from scratch. 😊
@@missmatti thanks! 😁
I have question, is it okay if I leave the sleves unlined? It gets me sweaty with that lining on the sleves
You can definitely have lining without sleeves, but how well it works depends a lot on the design on your garment & the material it’s made of.
If you get sweaty I would look into a lightweight breathable material for the sleeves such as a linen, silk, cotton, bamboo or a light-weight merino wool. If you plan to actively work out in your jacket/coat I would look at moisture wicking active wear fabrics. Maybe a mesh lining at the sleeves would be a good option? I used to have a windbreaker lined with mesh which was great when I was sweating in it.
I need to replace the lining on my wool coat, which also needs a good dry clean. Should I replace the Lining and then have it cleaned, or the reverse?
Good question, I would probably remove the lining if I were you. What did you decide on?
thanks , i have a leather jacket that i want relined as well
That’s awesome! Will you attach the lining yourself? I didn’t have the right tools for mine so I sent it to a leather repair shop but I think I would love to test doing it myself today ☺️
@@missmatti Hi im not really sure , if it is too tough I'm thinking when this lockdown is over to ask my local tailor
It’s worth the wait I think if it means less hassle for you and you save money by doing the new lining yourself.
Great video, thanks for this! (Please use more lights next time, it was sometimes too dark to see properly. 🌞)

How much would a local tailor charge to replace just the body lining (not sleeves) if I give them the material ?
No idea! I think it can depend a lot depending on where you live. You are probably better off asking your locals tailors rather than me 😅
Ideatssss
Your husband😍
🤩😍😜
@@missmatti Yes! The coat turned out beautiful too😉
