EBurk Posted November 9, 2011 Good Morning All. Want to say thank you for this forum and look forward to seeing what you are all working on. I'm currently working on a project by Loops and Threads (Charisma Yarn) and the product is a long western looking wrap. It is in a Loops and Thread booklet sold at Michael's. I have a question that sneaked into my brain and I can't seem to ignore it. Question is: Since all the pieces of this long wrap are flat (no arm holes), would it be a valid idea to sew a lining somehow to the pieces (before trying to put it all together) in order to hold the shape a bit better? If so, would fleece be a good option you think? How would you sew it on? Sewing machine, hand sew, or try to perhaps do a sc around the edges? Can you punch holes in fleece? eek! This may well be a lousy idea. The pattern says nothing about doing any such thing. Would like your thoughts. Thanks. Evon/OKC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cathryn_Elisabeth Posted November 9, 2011 Welcome from North Carolina! Not srue about your question as I haven't actually lined any of my projects, but I did see a crochet hook out there that does punch through fabric so you can add borders although I can't remember where I saw it now.

tiffer93 Posted November 9, 2011 & from North Central Kentucky! As far as your question goes, usually lining is done on things that will be holding something, such as a purse. But, if you're concerned it might not be a warm enough wrap for you otherwise, give it a shot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cat3crazy Posted November 10, 2011 Hi and to Crochetville from the west side of Michigan. Without seeing the wrap, I can't answer the question properly. You can punch holes in fleece. A lot of people do this then crochet an edging around the fleece and use it as a blanket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gumby28 Posted November 10, 2011 Welcome. I have put a backing on an afghan that was intended to be a wall hanging. I used a sewing machine. Not having seen the pattern you are talking about may I suggest you you assemble your wrap and add the linning in a single piece. since you are the artist in this case I think you can use whatever fabric makes you happy.
