✂️ How to Line a Crochet Bag
For a tidy interior, it is best to proceed methodically:
- Measure the finished bag: height, width, and depth, without stretching the work.
- Cut the lining adding the seam allowance; for a structured interior, cut the interfacing to the same shape as well.
- Apply the interfacing between the work and the lining using an iron without steam, following the instructions on the product page.
- Sew the lining by hand or machine along the top edge of the bag, distributing the stitches evenly.
In crochet work, it is best to sew the lining to the bag's edge or to a rigid base so that the weight does not deform the stitches. For bottoms and handles, see bag bottoms and bag handles.
