HOW TO RELINE A JACKET

Bfmple Process Is Explained 8o Any Woman, Handy With- Needle, Can Do It. Many women, otherwise clever with the needle, think it difficult to .reline a jacket. It is in reality simple. Rip out one-half of the Jacket lining for a pattern, cut a complete lining by this, leaving the other half attached to the jacket for a guide. Sew the lining together, leaving the underarm seams open. Now baste in one-half, fitting it smoothly along the fronts and bottom of the Jacket; then rip out the other half of the old lining and baste In the same way. Sew the new lining all around bottom, neck, and fronts. Any fulness will go into the armholes and underarm seams, which should he sewed last of all. Cut the sleeves from the old lining and attach at the top and bottom, finishing the armhole first Be sure to have the lining larger than the sleeves, so as to allow plenty of room at the elbow.
