6 At the finishing stage of your garment, pin
the bottom and sides of the pocket lining
in place (a) and stitch to attach (b), using
the overcast stitch you used to reinforce
buttonholes on page 164.


7 Steam the sewn-in lining to flatten it, taking
care not to press, which would bring the
outline of the lining to the front of your work.
Note:You can also make an inset pocket by putting the
stitches where the pocket is to be placed onto a holder after
working across them on the right side. Then you continue
across the row to the end and place the lining as illustrated
here. At the finishing stage, you can then work from the held stitches to create an edging, such as ribbing, seed stitch, or garter stitch.
