  • Turn the body of the bag right sides out. Place the lining inside the body of the bag, aligning all seams and the top edge.
  • Pin in place.
  • Sewing 1/4" from the top edge, baste the lining to the body of the bag, or zigzag the layers together.
  • Turn under the sewn edge, approximately 1/4" and sew it in place.
