Add Lining

1. If you want to add pockets to the inside of your bag, do so now. There are a number of ways to do this, and other online tutorials to show you how. So please don't be too hard on me if I don't explain that fully here!
2. With right sides facing, sew the sides of the lining together using a 1/2 inch seam. Press seam open.
3. Sew on lining bottom using a 1/2 inch seam. Clip curves and trim seam to 1/4 inch.
4. Push lining into bag form, smoothing out the seams as you do so, until you have a nice fit.
5. Open up the bias tape and fold it over the top edge of the bag. Cover the top edge of the bag with the bias tape, mitering corners and folding under bias tape at the ends. Pin in place, then stitch.
