Facing to Lining
p. 14- Align the edges of the finished facing and lining, right sides together. IMPORTANT! The lining will be longer along the seam, since a slight excess is built in. Ease the lining onto the facing, between the dart and the bottom edge.

Attaching Facing and Trimming Lapel
p. 21- Place the front and facing pieces right sides together, align the edges and notches, and sew from the lapel break point down to the hem. Trim the corners of the lapel seam allowances. Make small snips at the start of the lapel fold, stopping 1 mm before the stitching line.
Sewing Lining Contour and Facing
p. 24- Sew the contour seams on the lining, matching the edges at the notches on the corresponding pieces. Press the seam allowances open. Align the edges of the facing and the front lining, baste them together, and stitch. Please note, the lining should be 1.5 cm shorter than the facing.
Inserting Collar into Neckline
p. 27- On the wrong side, mark the corners of the seam allowances on the facing. Make small cuts in the allowances, stopping about 1mm before the corners. On the front panel, the collar seam meets the dart, so no notch is needed here. From the inside of the coat, insert the collar into the neckline, matching the edges of the undercollar to the back neckline. Align the edges of the upper collar with the facing on the back neckline. Align the notches at the center back. Make sure the marked corners match up perfectly.
Trimming and Sewing Collar to Facing
p. 29- Trim the corners of the seam allowances at the shoulder seams and the center back seam. Align the collar and facing edges along the break line, matching the seams of the collar and lapel. Sew the collar to the facing side along the break line, starting from the notch and continuing to the lapel seam.
Basting Neckline and Front Edge
p. 32- Baste together the seam allowances of the back neckline and the facing. In the same way, align and baste the seam allowances of the main fabric and the lining along the front edge. Turn the collar right side out and press it to finish.
Finish the lining edges
p. 7- If the lining fabric frays at the edges, finish all the long edges to prevent fraying.
