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

[Blindhands at aol.com]

My suggestion:
 
You use fabric sew the seams by hand or machine sew it is separate not sewn 
 to the bag and then wip stitch it to the bag below the eyelet area.  The  
stuff you put in the bag will be held in the fabric sack and not stretch 
your  yarn.  The drawstring area is not comprimised by the lining.

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
