Here you can see the hand sewing needed to create the bag shape before machine sewing. BTW I deliberately used a strong colour for demonstration purposes. I also cut the oval base to avoid puckering while sewing with the machine.
It is a strong stiff cotton fabric which as you can see will stand up while sewn.
I have shown the lining inside showing the pocket machine sewn in place.
The lining pinned in place. I will have to hand sew this due to the bulk.

Thanks for showing the stages of lining the bag, very useful! It looks great with the lining in.
I'm loving this tutorial. I have no clue re sewing, so this step by step stuff is invaluable - thankyou!
Thanks for the votes of confidence. I've lined bags before but never with such care and step by step photography. :)
It is fun BTW. :)
It's always interesting to see stuff like this being done. Lots of tips and ideas! Thanks :)
Thank you so much for showing that. I really did not know how to line a bag but will know where to look now. x
It looks great!! How smart the reinforcement! I don´t think we have that in Sweden.... :( Well, here´s a link to a picture of my Fair Isle bag:

I knitted it from yarn that I bought on Swedish Ebay, vegetable dyed yarn.
And the pattern is from a Swedish women who made it. I like it a lot ;)
Thanks for the tutorial Gilraen, and for answering my query about the plastic reinforcements. I love the lining material and it looks great!
Very interesting seeing this bit by bit...really nice.
This is coming along great! I'm so glad you are showing the steps!
I'm in agreement with my fellow blogger's comments: Thank you for doing this in a step-by-step format. This will definately help when I start knitting on a felted, summer tote. It looks great!
Thanks so much for showing that, I have wanted to line a booga bag for a while now and now I know how.
thanks again your bag looks great

I love this bag, your lining instructions are great, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing us, I needed a lesson in bag lining! I like the material you chose to sturdy the bag!
It IS perfect, that's for sure. This is great. I still don't think I'd make anywhere near as good a job as that but it's very useful for when I get brave enough to have another go.
