Photos are fairly clear, instructions are conversational, very good explanation of the (to me) non-intuitive process of attaching the lining to the vent overlap. You might find it helpful.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201009126846898608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-55386465860750532292022-01-03T13:44:38.138-05:002022-01-03T13:44:38.138-05:00Yes!

It gives them structure and they feel lovely to wear! And really don't take much more effort to sew.
