Questions & AnswersHi, I?m Melina Piroso and welcome to Expert Village. Today I?m going to show you how to make cute little bag out of regular everyday fabrics. So the next step that we're going to do is we're going to sew our lining onto our bag. This can be a little tricky if you have a small bag like this because it's very hard to position it under the sewing machine. What you want to do is you want to start sewing right on the outer, right where your seam is because that's where you're going to go back and forth. That's where you're going to start your stitch. And that's where you're going to go back and forth. And again, you want to make sure that you do have, because since now this stitch is going to go over the top of the outside of the bag, this again shows the importance of picking a thread that's going to disappear in your fabric. The last thing you want is a colored thread line up at the top. Pulling out pins as you go and holding your fabric straight. And this is probably the hardest part of the whole project, is keeping this hemline straight. Ok.
