Bag makers please help

Recommended Posts

Howdy all! I'm going to make a bag for my wife for our 3rd anniversary. The traditional gift is leather so a bag is obviously a fitting project. I had a lot from a popular retailer  but before I knew what junk they are I had most of it together. 

The bag I'm going to make will use the same parts just better leather and I want to add welts and a nice fabric liner. 

So my question is, what's the best way to add the liner to keep it loose but secure and not glue it down? If I add welts can I put the liner in the welt to secure it (if that makes sense) or is my best bet to bind the edges and stitch the liner around the top of the bag?

Thanks a bunch

The bag I made for my daughter in law used a liner made from pigskin.  Made the liner the same size as the bag, stitched it around the folded over top.

@garypl that looks great. I think I was over thinking it. The bag I'll be making will have a gusset but that shouldn't change things too much. Thanks for the pictures
