Drafting + Sewing Linings Bundle

What do you do when you’ve chosen the perfect fabric… but it’s a little too sheer? Or when a pattern you love isn’t lined? Or when a skirt needs a lining so it doesn’t cling, or a coat deserves a beautifully finished interior? This bundle gives you everything you need to confidently draft and sew linings, so you never have to pass on a design or compromise on finish again. Combining both the Drafting Linings Skills Kit and the Sewing Linings Skills Kit, this two-part series takes you from concept to completion. You’ll learn how to create linings for a range of garments and then bring them to life with professional sewing techniques. Together, these resources build a complete, transferable skill set you can apply across your entire pattern collection. Please note: This listing is for a digital pattern and resource only.
