No, just unzip and unbutton when sewing the lining to the outside at the top. Start at the buttonhole side at the place where the button tab ends, then stop at the other side at the button. Then, just zip up and button. If you unzip and unbutton, all you see is the wrong side of the lining. If you look on the Internet, there are a couple of tutorials on how to do them. That is how I first started making them. There really isn't a pattern because all jeans are a bit different. I just decided to make mine a bit more detailed than the tutorials, with fused lining for strength and lots of inside pockets.
