Purse lining question

[motocouture]

So, staring a prototype for a small clutch (eventually going to do in croc). Pic below shows outer and lining. I’ve glued the lining completely to the two side gussets, but I’m curious if the lining gets fully glued to the main body, or just close to the edges where it’ll be stitched? Also, how do you account for the turn when the main body is folded; do you simply make the lining shorter than the outer, if you’re not completely gluing the two together? Thanks!

Hi Moto,

Not sure if it's the correct method or not but I have made a couple of purses for my daughter and I have completely glued the lining to the inside. Seemed to work out fine for me.

You're welcome and let us know how it turns out with the croc leather. Bet it will be nice!

I've done a similar clutch and I fully glued the lining. With some other types of bags the lining can be glued to just the edges.

Thanks! I think that’s the path I’ll head down
