[Nfb-krafters-korner] questions about lining a crocheted project

[Terry Knox]

This is interesting, and hope you get some suggestions. I will make one, as
a crocheter but get a few before making up your mind. Study the backpack, if
this a strong design, I might not line it, but it also depends on how it is
going to be used, for heavy items or things that would slip out. If lining
it I would consider a light fabric like a blend of acylic and cotton blend
and without knowing design I would turn inside out to measure sides and add
seam allowance and sew a separate lining the shape of the backpack. Then
slide lining into bag and cut holes in finished lining where you would
attach at idlets and attach at top only, therefore, if you did not like the
lining, it can be removed easily. Sounds like a lot of trouble, you have to
deceide.

Hello Crocheters.

I've recently completed a rather cute drawstring backpack made of thick and
quick wool ease yarn. The project itself did not call for me to line the
inside of the backpack/purse with material to prevent stretching but my
husband, who knows nothing about crafts, keep pestering me to somehow figure
out how to line the inside of the bag since the yarn will stretch and it
might help to line it to be more purselike.

any ideas? Does Wool Ease stretch that much? And if I do find fabric to line
the bag with, how in the world do I go about attaching the fabric. The
drawstring pattern created eyelet holes so I'd have to punch holes in the
fabric too.

I'm open to ideas and suggestions -- including telling my husband to shut
it.

Thanks,
Lisamaria
