Would you recommend hand stitching the lining as per the instructions, or using the bagging method which seems to be popular? Also, with regards to the collar is it just a case of taking 5/8's off of the underside of the collar on the outside edge? Most of the patterns I have completed so far have been by indi pattern makers who use lots of photos etc, so I am nervous about using this pattern, as the instructions are a little more sparse! Thank you.
