Lining for pleated trouser
Sorry if this has been asked already but does anybody have recommendations on how to cut the lining for pleated trousers? Do you cut it before you put in the pleats or do you put in the pleats beforehand? I’m just finding it a little tricky to figure out because of how the pleats “bulge” the cloth instead of laying flat like flat fronted.

You can always cut the lining at the fold of the slanted pocket. Just make sure it gets caught in the fold of the cloth during pocket construction and / or by your manual stitching while finishing. Preferrably, baste it securely in place, so it doesn't sag it's way out of the fold.
