### Step 1: Draft and Cut the missing Lining and Facing Parts
Some parts for Carlton require you to draft parts from the existing parts. The following are a list of what parts you need to draft, [see Carlton Cutting](/docs/designs/carlton#cutting) for details on how to cut them.
#### Drafting
##### Front facing and Front lining
- Trace off of **Front** part.
- Cut along the green line.
- Add seam allowance (if including) along green line to both pieces
- The piece with the lapel is now the **Front facing** part.
- Trim the hem allowance (if included) of the remaining piece to seam allowance length
- The remaining piece is now the **Front lining** part.
:::note
The button and pocket markings are not needed for these parts so feel free not to trace them.
