I made my first seam the hem to help the lining lay flat. First and foremost is to get the lining to lay flat and straight in line with the main Fabric. Lay the 2 Fabrics face to face Smooth the heck out of it, then pin it together (not just along the seam, the whole thing) You want both fabrics to move as one.
After the seam is sewn, Iron the seam flat and then iron the lining back on to the back side of the main fabric. Smooth and pin Smooth and pin, until that lining is nice and straight. I always changed my thread color here, and top stitched the hem to keep it flat. Once you get it all pinned together nice and smooth, these pins will stay in until the end to keep it as one, as you work.

My husband and I are into the 3 C's... Computers, Camping, Cars, and too many others to list. We own a VW bus, a westfalia, if you don't have one ... you need one.
