Linings

Find lining fabric for dresses, skirts, jackets, coats, trousers, bags and occasionwear. A good lining can make a handmade garment feel more comfortable, help it hang better and give the inside a neater finish. Choose lightweight linings for dresses and skirts, slightly more substantial linings for jackets and coats, and stretch linings for garments made from stretch fabrics.

Linings are especially useful for sheer fabrics, woollens, suiting, lace, occasionwear and garments where you want a smooth finish against the skin. Match your lining to the colour, weight and stretch of your outer fabric for the best result.
