Ideas for lining a curved top bag

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of making a bag and have the front and back panels dyed and got to thinking of the liner o want in it. 

I'm going to use a garment leather for this and was wondering how to attach it.

The bag shape has a "dip" in the middle of the front and back panels and I'm wondering if a drop in liner would work around that curve. Or if I can bind a drop in liner or if I can even do a turned lining. I hope I can pick your brains for ideas on how to do this thanks.

You might need to post a picture/drawing of what the bag looks like.  A picture is worth a thousand words in that regard.

In general, a liner can just be glued to the panel it is lining, but you are also talking about a drop-in liner.

You can do turned edges if the leather lining is stretchy.  Otherwise, anything involving curves can be done but requires greater effort, like cutting wedges out.

Yeah I understand that. The bag isn't really coming out how I hoped. But I'll still probably finish it. This is the panel. It isn't too drastic but still significant. I thing a lining how I want would bunch up and wrinkle. I might just glue down some other lining material to the panels if I can't figure anything else out

Thanks!

It looks good. With that significant of a curve, it would be easier to apply a flat, not turned, lining. You're off to a good start.

I think so, I like the turned and bound edges and how they look but, it's probably not feasible here
