how to sew… a small bag with zipper part2

Heyhey,

here are the last steps for the small bag with zipper:

DSCF7934

last week I sewed the zipper into the bag

and the lining

DSCF7936now I pinned my middle part to one lining partDSCF7937

and sewed them at the 3 sides together

the lining is bigger as the middle part, so the fabric is folded up at the still open corners…

now I pinned the side-seams

and sewed them together from the corner in the lining to the corner of the cork-fabric over the zipper. I also sewed the bottom seams in cork-fabric and lining but left a small opening in the lining

then I folded the corner to corner and sewed

DSCF7943 now I turned all right side out through the opening I left in the lining seamDSCF7944

looks like this

and pulled the seam allowance of the corners through the opening and sewed them together – this way the lining is fixed inside and will not pull out when you pull something from the bag.

after doing that to both corners I closed the opening

to keep the lining from being caught in the zipper I sewed parallel the the zipper

It certainly proofed already to be really handy, keeping my little things together and organized.
