For crocheting a lining in place, it helps to either use a cloth with gaps between the threads to poke a hook, or to use a hole-poking tool to cut a line of holes the right size and distance apart to line up with your stitches. At that point, the lining fabric can be used and joined as though it was another piece of crochet cloth. I've not lined the bags I've been running a kickstarter for, but I like the idea of everything being 'of a piece' rather than a combination of different branches of textiles.
LOVE this beautiful bag pattern! I made one similar years ago following your tutorial and still use it to this day, so I decided to make another with you ☺ thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us!
Thank you for this lining tutorial. I have several crocheted bags which I wanted to line, but didn't know where to start. Yoh solved my problem. You are a wonderful teacher. 👍 💗 👍
Thank you so much Claire. I'm not a sewer but I've always hand sewed liners into most of my crochet bags. I've never really known how to measure them. Now I know how to properly measure!!! Thank you again! This was a great tutorial!!!! Very very helpful!!!!!
I've heard of using a T shirt as a liner... Thanks for the tutorial Clare... your teaching skills are appreciated so, so much! I just taught myslf to crochet last July & even as a left hander I can follow you Any chance, at all, of showing Us how to do a liner that goes all the way up to the peaks? Pretty please ❤
Hi Claire l think it would be a lot easier to line the bag if you had made it out of granny squares, might be an idea for a future project, all the best Carol from Scotland 🏴 😅
