Crochet Purse Lining Anyone?

Happy New Year Everyone!

So waaay... back in 2008, I started a few bobble WIPs but never finished them because I didn't know how to tackle lining the darn things. 
 

My first bobble WIP in 2008.


So my bobble pouches just sat in my stash just waiting for the day when they could run around town in all of their bobbleness.



After Googling for the perfect liner for crochet purses, I found Futuregirl's nifty blog that explains how to line your purse/pouch with step-by-step instructions with photos.  She's a great webteacher and I really appreciate her post of such easy to follow directions. 

Here's a bag that I've lined with a cute ladybug print.  You'll see that the stitches are practically invisible.  Hint:  Practice a few times on a spare swatch to get the feel for sewing the lining. Also, make sure that you snuggly pull on the stitches.  I found that it helps to hide them when sewing.

Here's one that I finished today.

Now I can get working on some more bobbles! 

Stitch on!
