Title:

Denim Jacket! Sure we all have one, or always want to make one. But why not make would with a lining!

Follow along as I create a lining to Simplicity pattern S8845 - Mimi G style : Denim Jacket
The original pattern does not offer a lining, so in this video I will show you how I created my own! ( in my case faux fur and satin )

This means you can take this summer time jacket, to a fall or winter piece .

Thank you for this detailed tutorial on how to add a lining to S8845. I followed your method exactly as described and made the Sherpa lined denim jacket of my dreams!!! I’m so excited to wear it out.

Greetings from Texas! Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm making my first jean jacket and have been looking everywhere for a good lining video. Yours is the first to suggest going up a size for the shell. Everything made so much sense and gave me the confidence I need to make my first jean jacket!

Update 9/4/23: I finished my first lined blue jean jacket! Thank you so much for such great directions.

Fantastic job! Really enjoying your videos and love the fashion show at the end.

cool, thanks. I kind of figured I could do something along those lines but was thinking I would end up doing a turned lining. This looks simple. I am aiming to do a waxed light canvas with wool blanket lining.

Love the jacket and you’re so cute and easy to understand.
Love the content also!

So cute, Alex! I'm currently making a Japanese inspired jean jacket, and seriously considering putting in a lining.

Yours is so cute!

Oh how timely that I found this video! I’ve just begun to cut out my patterned denim for this jacket! I live in San Francisco where one can wear a denim jacket all year round (though there are days in the winter you need a wool hoodie underneath). I was wondering if I wanted to make one lined how would I go about it? The only thing I was sad about was that there were NO INSIDE POCKETS. As a woman (who mostly wears men’s clothing, cause pockets! When I sew I always make sure all my pockets are functional and I add inside pockets. I wish you had a “Tools I use” video so we could click an Amazon link and throw some money your way. This is a GREAT video. Thank you.

Gorgeous, excellent craftsmanship! I know a trick to avoid faux fur shedding. Use a brand new razor blade, cut from the back like you did, only pressing the razor deep enough to cut through the backing and you won’t cut any of the hair.
