Love this tip!!!

[@angelamcgovern1525]

I flatten my seams this way have u watched the video from sew honey Bea on how she modifies the lining of the Mabel so it fits perfectly xx

[@LuvLolaLooks]

I haven't; I haven't had any issues with my lining not fitting, but I'll still check it out lol I just like watching tutorials. Here's my Mabel tutorial! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYmakHatmbWji9k

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

Glad it was helpful!

This is interesting that you used vinyl for the inside as well. Do you notice that it’s the same, more or less bulky than using cotton/wpc/anything else with interfacing??

[@LuvLolaLooks]

I don't find it bulky. I prefer a bag with structure, so it helps me achieve the feel I like. I only do this with smaller bags.

The other really good tip here is to install the handle AFTER the topstitching. DOH. Thanks!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Lol you're right! It took me a few Mabels to realize that!
