Wow. That's all I have to say. Every time I look at that lining, I smile. Maybe the insertion could have been better - there are a few tiny puckers along the top that don't seem to want to press out - but the combination of fabrics just makes me happy.I still have to attach the lining to the sleeve hems and finish the bottom, but the facing part and the neck seam are done.
Before I sewed in the lining, I dealt with the pocket issue. I've been flip-flopping between patch pockets and faux pocket flaps, and I finally went for the patch pockets, mainly because I had two scraps of boucle big enough to make pockets. They are lined in the silk as well, and since I have 6 buttons and only need for the jacket front, the last 2 will go on the pockets.I am so loving this jacket.

It's looking great! And little puckers in the lining? Karen, who looks inside there unless it's one of us :) . The jacket is so beautiful, no one will ever notice tiny little puckers (and we know they're in RTW too).
