How should I finish my seams?

Aargh. After a lot of head scratching, I’ve finally realised why I can’t work out the vent on my @byhandlondon #rumanacoat - I cut the back lining pieces the other way up to the cutting layout, so they’re back to front! Or left-right? 🤦‍♀️ Any suggestions on how to save this so I don’t have to pick out the entire lining and construct a new one? 🙏 (I’ve trimmed and top stitched the centre back seam of the shell so I can’t just flip the vent to the other side.)
I’m trying to catch up with some of my UFOs this week – first up, this chocolatey alpaca wool scarf I cast on last summer. The warm weather seemed like the perfect time to block and photograph it – if not to wear it… 🌡
More pictures and all the details are up on the blog (link in profile). #sewingblogger #knittersofinstagram #unseasonalsewing
I’m thinking of upgrading my overlocker – possibly this to one – the Janome 6234XL. Has anyone got one/got an opinion on one? 
And does anyone know why are they *exactly* the same price everywhere I look in the UK? Does Janome have a price fix agreement of some kind, and is this even legal!? #overlocker #janome6234XL
It’s 25 degrees outside and my Scottish genes are melting. So am I sewing a breezy linen dress? Nope. I’m trying to insert the lining into my #rumanacoat ! #stubbornnessrunsinthefamily #nomorewips #unseasonalsewing
