How to Sew a Skirt Lining
This is the method I used to attach a lining to my Echino Stag Delphine Skirt; there are many different ways to make and stitch a skirt lining, but this is the one I prefer because it’s super easy and doesn’t require any hand stitching, which is a huge plus!
I’m sewing the Delphine skirt from Love at First Stitch, but you can use this tutorial to sew similar skirt designs with a waistband, side seams, and invisible zip. The Delphine skirt includes a 3cm (1 1 1/4in) hem allowance, so I’m going to use the same measurements for the lining.
