How would I sew lining on a purse? I can’t seem to find a class on that…
Hello,
This class (https://www.nationalsewingcircle.com/video/diy-sewing-project-sew-a-purse-lining-008314/) sounds like it’d be perfect for you. The instructor shows you how to create and add a lining to a store-bought purse, but much of the same concepts still apply if you’re making a purse yourself from scratch.
This lined bag (https://www.nationalsewingcircle.com/video/sewing-projects-padded-book-bag-007517/) has extra padding to create a cozy, comfy book bag. You could make it without the padding too, of course. This is a good course for learning how to add a lining to any size of purse.
This class (https://www.nationalsewingcircle.com/video/how-to-make-a-reversible-tote-bag-003867/) instructs you how to create a reversible purse, so it’s fully lined. Check out the class description and watch the preview video to see if that’s something you’re interested in.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nicki
I am planning to line pre-made curtains. Do I need to launder the curtains and the lining material before inserting the lining? I appreciate your help.

If your table isn’t very big, have a chair at the side of you to take the weight of the fabric, otherwise it will pull away as you are sewing. It’s a lot easier.
Did not get to see final ,finish curtains,cut short.
Excellent – thank you ZJ!

Your demo is excellent! Great work
This is a brilliant video but I have very long and very wide windows and they are so long and wide they always have several joins and are so heavy, any tips on for handling such enormous projects as I don’t have an enormous table to have them flat for sewing.
I also don’t have spare floor space to lay them out either. :-!
Very good
