How to Re-line a Winter Coat
"Save your good winter coat for seasons to come by replacing the worn lining. For most of us, the lining in our good coats is not as durable as the outer shell, especially those shells made of 100% wool. This step by step tutorial will take you through removing the old lining, using it to make a pattern for a new lining, sewing the new lining and re-inserting it into the existing shell. You'll have a brand new coat to keep you warm for years to come."
NotesWhile it looks difficult, it really is not that hard. Some basic sewing skills needed, but you can do it!
