Step 5 : Assemble the bag and the lining

It's time to assemble the "lining bag" and the "coated bag".

Start by tucking the coated bag into the lining.

Make a hem by folding the edges over 0.5cm and hold everything with pins or small patchwork clips. Then sew a seam around the edge with the sewing machine.

Turn the piece over through the opening left in the lining and close with a blind stitch.
