Please help

I love making purses and I am now going to try making one with handles and a lining. I am so excited, nervous and well confused. I have NO idea how to put in a lining. Any help would be wonderful.

There are several tutorials on line. HEre is one: http://www.futuregirl.com/craft_blog/2008/1/tutorial-sew-lining-for-crocheted-bag.aspx

 

I haven't done it myself as I have an allergy to my sewing machine (just kidding!).

Thanks so much

That's a really good tutorial. I usually like to add pockets. Also, if you add the magnetic snaps, be sure to iron on a square of medium to heavyweight interfacing onto the wrong side of the lining before you insert the snaps to reinforce the lining. I usually sew my lining in by machine, but I think most people sew it in by hand.
