The lining was quilted to the jacket pieces before assembly. The outer jacket sections were machine sewn, and the lining sections joined by hand.
Next the lining is hand stitched all around the front and hem. Unlike ordinary jackets this lining is stitched all the way to the edge of the jacket. I first basted the edge of the jacket, then basted the lining in place, and then hand stitched to the jacket
The collar section is added last, again hand sewn. Here I've pinned the collar lining in place preparatory to hand stitching it to the jacket collar.
The sleeves will be completed in a similar fashion.
Here's the front with the collar sewn in place. I really like having the collar lining all the way to the edge, so there's only silk against the neck.
