Lining, Step by Step

My lined teal top is still on the "to do" pile. Meanwhile, I've completed this lined evening bag. It's a simpler shape than the top, so I've taken the opportunity to provide a step by step on the lining process.

1. Two bags, made in the same way. The darker brown is the outer layer--it's seams are turned to the inside. The lighter brown with the woven checks is the inner layer--it's seams are turned to the outside.

2. I put the inside layer on the inside, so the two sets of seams are now sandwiched together. 3. I finished the raw edges at the top of the bag by turning them to the inside and adding the bright orange casing for a cord. The row of orange stitching holds it all together.
