Bag lining closure
How do you sew closed the inside of a bag lining? I hate to hand sew and I am wondering if anyone else uses a machine to stitch closed the lining once you have pulled the right side of the bag through.
Any useful tips and techniques would be appreciated.

I hand sew the opening in the lining because I enjoy hand sewing. If you watch the Jenny Doan YouTube video, "Make Three Totes/Bags with One Charm Pack", you will see that she sews the lining opening on her sewing machine. Best wishes with machine sewing your lining. I know your bag will be beautiful

I never hand sew them! Usually the opening is at the bottom anyway. I just fold the edges in 1/4" and sew about 1/8" from the edge. I start my closure seam about 1/4" from the start of the opening and extend it the same past the end of the opening.

This works for me! Who's going to see it anyway?
