**Some things I didn’t mention in this video!** Sewing Machine: - I use a stitch length and tension of 3 on my sewing machine to attach the lining (I just use a regular straight stitch) - I like to colour match my bobbin thread to the bag colour in order for the stitching to be barely noticeable Hand sewing: - If hand sewing, I recommend to use a back stitch for the assembly of the lining and then use an invisible stitch to attach the liner to the bag (this way you don’t have to worry about the thread appearing on other side of bag) Ironing: - At the time of making this video, I did not have an iron mat so I used my carpet, DO NOT do this, it was not smart of me and I definitely do not recommend this!

Thank you so much for the extra details. I came to ask exactly these questions.😊

[@kourtneyskinner9791]

What sewing machine brand do you use, because I believe I may not have one big enough it keeps on jamming as soon as I try to make a stitch! Through the lining and the crochet

[@rachaelalexander7947]

hey, thanks for the video! one wee question about the needle though, what size did you use? and did you use a regular machine needle or something like a ballpoint? thank you so much! 🫶🏻

[@rantaroamami4841]

@@kourtneyskinner9791 omg this exact same thing happened to me when I first tried! The solution for me was to do all of the lining in machine sewing, and then attach it with hand sewing. Hope this helps!

[@jaistashu1560]

I hope more people are able to find this video who need help with lining. I've never done it before, and I thought it'd be impossible, but you made it look as easy as making a granny square! So excited to try this!

[@jaistashu1560]

Update: I tried it using this process and it worked out great! I love my bag. I get so many compliments on it!

[@meera.srivastava]

@@jaistashu1560 SAMMEEE, I totally agree

[@shezcal]

Fab technique. Does the stitching show on the right side?

The best lining tutorial for crochet bag! Very clean and easy to follow. I really love it, thank you do much for sharing!

[@AlyssiaCreates]

Thank you for the kind words! I am glad it was helpful 😊

Believ it or not, thats the exact same bag I am making! so this is just so perfect, and im really glad i found this, thank you!

[@suzyk5656]

OMG I just lined my first bag. 😀😀😀 I am ridiculously proud of myself for doing it & doing it with my sewing machine as well. Thank you Soo much for this easy to follow tutorial. I wish I could show you a picture lol I want to show everyone 😂.

[@AlyssiaCreates]

I am so happy to hear that!! 😊 You are welcome to send me a photo over DM on Instagram, I'd love to see!

[@cydney1545]

this was literally so helpful. I promised to help my sister sew a lining into a bag we made and had no idea how to attach it to the fabric. I changed a few things only because our bag was slightly different so all in all really good, direct tutorial. and I actually think a good tutorial can be modified to fit the needs of the user which this one very much is! good job!

[@aliceincrochetland5267]

Cool.. I was really hesitant to sew lining with the machine cuz I thought it would be too thick. I’m happy to see that I can. Thanks for sharing

[@MillerMehlos2]

Thank you!!!! I am a visual learner & this post has made my day!!! Thank you for sharing this!! It’s way less complicated than I was thinking in my head.

[@valphillips7002]

Wow, that is brilliant and you made it look so easy! I haven’t ever lined a bag but have just crocheted one that I feel would look better with a lining. So I will definitely be trying this out. Thank you for a great video with clear and easy instructions to follow! 👍❤️

[@LG-KETO]

Thank you so much for this video! I just finished crocheting the squares for this bag and had NO idea how to line it. So glad I found this! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow!

[@AlyssiaCreates]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@mickeyfoeller771]

Thanks so much for this video. You make it look so easy. Not knowing how to line it was holding me back from hopping on the granny square handbag bandwagon, lol. But now I'm up for the challenge!

[@beverleypryor371]

Thank you for this tutorial. Super easy. Lined my first bag yesterday and came out great. I also lined the handles to prevent stretching.

[@Dulnaivi]

That was legitimately awesome. Straight to the point, clear and no fuss, materials we should all have... subbed

[@maybekhris]

I've been crocheting the biggest majority of my life, usually plushes, and I made a bag for the first time for a friend. I'm excited to finally line it like I want, thanks to your video 🧡✌️

[@reb-fy9qr]

This was my first time lining a crocheted bag, and since it was a weird shape I really had no idea how to do it. This video made it SOOO easy and quick, even for someone with very little sewing experience at all! Thank you so much for this tutorial

[@marvylbrizeno6812]

Thanks!!! This tutorial is just what we needed for finishing a birthday project 🥳. Big sister made this hand bag for her little sister’s 26th birthday 🎉❤EXCELLENT Tutorial!! Directions were easy to follow and we liked that you added a pocket 😊. Really like how detailed all the instructions are. GREAT JOB THANKS

[@avocato6857]

thank you so much!! i made a similar bag as a birthday gift to my best friend and i didn't know how to add lining so i was going to give it to her without a lining but i saw your video and you really helped me. i cut my fabric in the 3.30 in the morning lol 😮‍💨 gonna sew it tomorrow. hope it will be as good as yours

[@user-of8df4ll5d]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you. I was wondering how I was going to make the lining when I found your video. It’s very clear and easy to follow.

[@D9P323]

SUPER HELPFUL, I've always wondered how exactly this was done. Thank you

[@wendyeaton7517]

Ahhh this is so cool! Thank you ive been looking for how to line crochet bags ❤

[@user-cm7cc9gn1y]

Beautifully explained !

[@chloegrl1366]

Great tutorial turned out so nice!!!

[@poodlegirl55]

If you cut the lining a little bigger after you sew the seam you can turn it inside out an sew it again and the unfinished edge will be sealed in, neither side has a raw edge. I like to do it that way so you get no fraying when you wash it. With a crochet you can look through and see the raw edges also.

[@Hippie_Chick_11]

I like to do that too!

[@robyn40]

I love crocheting bags. That's the fun part. Adding the lineing is not so fun.

I have knitted a bag...that was the easy bit. Lining.??? This clip will help alot thank you

[@emmale2008]

i would love a tutorial on how to make bag linings for bag with bases, like your drawstring ones. been having trouble finding it out :)

[@AlyssiaCreates]

Thanks for your suggestion! Depending on how small the base is, sometimes I make it similarly to the way I do in this video, but for the bigger ones, I use a different technique that I can for sure do a tutorial for :)

[@GP-fj9qu]

You are amazing thank you

[@yuyangac8172]

Really thank u...It's very useful for me...I'm looking forward to a tutorial on placing a zipper in this bag 💕

[@busraoz8977]

Please someone answer. I crocheted my own bag, but it yawning/expand when I put something in it. everyone said I should lining it. Is it enough if I line it with a fabric like in this video? Will this prevent it from yawning?

[@izzi5967]

Yess, it would be even more secure if you lined the straps as well

[@joytotheworld_3]

Sorry for such a late response but yes it would help ! You’ll cut the fabric a bit smaller than the actual bag that way the fabric is carrying more weight than the crocheted purse :)
