The Lining

Attach the Lining

• Sew two rows of gathering stitches inside the 1/2" seam allowance, between the notches on the curved edge, as you did on the body of the bag.
• Center the lining on the strips, on the opposite side as the body of the bag so the seam allowance will be enclosed when the bag is finished. Gather as you did the body of the bag. Apply a seam finish to the seam allowance.
