I would cut out pieces of lining, sew the lining to the cuff parts (wrong sides together & then flip inside out), and then sew around the outside as shown. OR you could sew around the outside w/out turning inside-out, and leave the exposed seams on the outside for a deconstructed look (and that should be super-cozy because there are no scratchy seams inside to chafe). I don't have time to type out instructions for making a no-exposed seam lined mitten right now, but it would also be pretty easy. Here's a tutorial I wrote for making a lined purse - it would be the same technique as making the lining in the purse. http://croqzine.com/blog/?p=972 @lorrie Yes, you could do that!

One question, I think at least one of my kids would find the inside ithcy and the seam bothersome. Can you add a layer inside so it would cover the wool and the seam? maybe thermal or t-shirt cotton, and at which step would you add it? Thanks again.
