  slightly round off the sleeve pieces of the lining and when making the sleeve gather them rather than folding the pleats.

  Overlock all edges.

  Step 7 of 13

  Make the outside and lining of the jacket the same way as is described in from sewing the back and front and inserting the sleeves. No need for facings or a collar. Pin them together right sides facing and sew all around the edge.

  Turn the jacket right sides out, press the seams and top stitch all the way around. I used a blue thread for the denim side and a white thread for the lining side.
