I make the lining separately, with fusible fleece, add in pockets and sew up the bottom and sides. Leave it inside out and just stick it in the jeans, wrong sides together. There should be an extra 1 1/2 - 2 inches extra at the top. Tuck that under at the top about 1/8 inch below the top of the jeans and pin. This is when you add your straps front and back, and I add I. a key clip on a tab. Once straps are in place and both pieces are all pined, sew around the top about 1/4 inch away from the edge. You need a jeans needle and use denim thread on top with thread matching the lining in the bobbin. I skip sewing over the belt loops.
