   For skirts and pants, you can use the same pattern but about an 1 inch shorter. This way when you hem, the lining will be 1 inch shorter. Make a simple thread chain to loosely secure the lining to the seam of the outer garment.

   For jackets and sleeves, the lining is the same length or a smidge longer than the fashion fabric. Make a jump hem for more movement.

   *JannieI agree with Pam's comments and would like to add a little more detail on the actual attachment.On a loose hem such as you find on a skirt, then I just turn up the lining hem and machine in place, leaving a loose lining that can be anchored as Pam has suggested.Where you actually attach the hem to the hem of the garment, then I press up the hem of the lining and slipstitch into place onto thehem allowance of the garment producing invisible results. If this is as clear as mud then I have included a diagram as attachment. If you already knew this stuff then great! I have use this on ajcket hems and sleeves.
