Reply To: How to hem a coat with lining

If there are slits the jacket, then I would do slits to the lining as well before you insert it into the jacket. You can also do your hemming of the lining prior to putting it inside the jacket, just make it shorter so that there’s no chance it’ll stick out below the jacket. Once the lining is inside, you can hand sew the slits and parts of the lining to the main fabric to help keep it place.
