Now for the finishing touches. (And remember, it's the details that set a great sewing job apart from a merely good one!) - Drop the lining into the pants, pin and stitch around the waist, turning under seam allowance at zipper (figure A).
- Make waistband using batiste for the facing. Understitch along trimmed seam allowance on batiste side, as close to the end as possible (figure B). Finish waistband with machine stitch-in-the-ditch from right side of pants.
- By hand, slipstitch lining by zipper.
- Hem the pants 1/2" longer than the lining, using the same hem-lace technique. Make a crocheted swing tack to attach the lining to pants at side seams of hem.
