Tutorial, part 12a - Lining to Body (Picard version)

Sew the bottom of the lining body assembly to the top of the body facing assembly, right sides facing and matching seams.

Hand-stitch the facing/lining seam allowance to the vest body's interfacing layer, being careful not to stitch all the way through the layers to the outside of the garment.

Pin the lining to the open edges of the vest - the armholes, neckline, and center front. 

Baste or sew the lining to the body, ⅛" or ¼" from said edges. 

For the Picard version, fold the armhole trim underneath, then fold the raw edge underneath again and pin in place - in other words, in the same manner as you would attach double-fold bias tape.

Using your quilting/walking foot and gray thread, "stitch in the ditch" along the inner edge of the bias trim.

The front and back of the armhole trim should align perfectly with each other and the yoke trim at the side seam, forming one continuous curve.

Repeat for the other side.
