  • A crochet or knit bag is lovely but sometimes we love to overstuff the bags and it causes it to misshape or just ruin it. So lining your crochet or knit bag is a way to protect your bag. It also protects your contents from wanting to fall through the stitchwork.
    In the tutorial below, I will show you how it's done. You may know other ways but this is the way I did mine.
    If you like the Bag shown in this video, here is a link for the tutorial for it. thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-te... #Knitting #crochet #learntocrochet #crochettutorial .

    My friends and I made tons of these bags in the 70's. Not only did we line the bags, but the shoulder strap as well to keep it from stretching. Old jeans to the rescue- use pockets to the inside and the inside of the jeans to the inside of the bag.

  • @sheryltrevino7966
    @sheryltrevino7966 Před 6 lety +160

    You can follow the same process to line the straps of the bag too. That keeps the straps from ever stretching out.

      @laurelgirard8475 Před 3 lety +4

      Great idea! I’ve thought about it but never tried it. Lining a bag also keeps it from stretching! Of course, Mickey said that just as I typed it!

    Hi Mikey! Great tutorial! Just a quick tip I learned the hard way and also in a sewing class: I see your pins go the same direction as your seam line, if you do that (ESPECIALLY if you get a sewing machine), your seam will start to slide off the pins. If you pin your seam outward in (so all the top of your pin heads are outward), the seams won’t move, and you can sew over them if you need to. Hope that helps! Thanks for all the great tutorials!! Mags 💜🤗

    REALLY appreciate Mikey's honesty in this! I've never sewn in my life but he's made me confident that I can line my bag because of his honesty, tips [especially saying the liner will show through the bag], and beginner friendly method! Thanks!

  • @chaliceguard4575
    @chaliceguard4575 Před 3 lety +41

    SUGGESTIONS: Why not just get a larger length of fabric and fold it in half? That way, you only have 2 side seams to sew. Alternatively, if you want to create interior divider sections, create an "acccordion fold" of the fabric (fold each end of fabric to meet at center, then stitch along sides, then fold in half, leaving open the pocket divider sections).

    • @TheCrochetCrowd
      @TheCrochetCrowd  Před 3 lety +18

      Absolutely, you could do that as well. Sounds like you have it all planned out. :) Nice idea and a great tip to leave here in the comments to give others the same idea.

  • @BeatlesFanSonia
    @BeatlesFanSonia Před 5 lety +7

    First step, press the fabric. That stitch that you used is a basting stitch. A better, more sturdy stitch would be a back stitch. Other than those suggestions, your video did have a lot of useful information for the beginner.

      I also don't own a sewing machine but I go for a lot of sewing projects. it's a lot more work than with a machine. I've found crochet and knitting is more rewarding whereas hand sewing just because I don't have a machine is frustrating. It sucks because I'd like hand sewing if it wasn't my only option.

    Wow, we're really on the same sheet of music right now, as I'm doing the same thing to a purse a friend just gave me. The difference is that the bottom of the purse is like a flat circle crocheted in the round, so I'll have to account for that. I'm also going to line a child's purse I'm in the process of crocheting. It's just funny that we're doing this at the same time.

    @andielewis7243 Před rokem +4

    LOL....No. I love you Mikey and you've walked me through some wonderful crochet patterns---but seeing you measure and sew had me cringing! So let me walk YOU through a few sewing tips. 1. Always add a seam allowance before you cut the material. Measuring your bag exactly will make the lining too small for the bag. 2. If you turn your fabric inside out to being with, all you have to do is sew down the sides...then reverse. You now have flat seams and it is much easier to drive your needle through. 3. Place the liner in your bag and match the side seams to the sides of your bag. Pin in place and ease the material around the bag. 4. Always, always, always double your thread. Love ya, Mikey!

    That line is called the selvage or selvedge (self finished) edge of the fabric, Mikey.

    • @VM-123
      @VM-123 Před 5 lety

      To add, I would personally line the bag with the selvage at the top to eliminate extra stretch. That would be cutting on the straight of grain as opposed to the stretchier bias.

  • @indigenousspinster_6665
    @indigenousspinster_6665 Před 5 lety +3

    The only thing wrong is you should have left a seam allowance so the fabric could have been sewn from the bottom and sides leaving the top open and then you can sew it to the top
