Just when you think you got it...ugh!
Have been working on pattern for the Brain Challenge purse with those that wanted it. Thought I had it all together so I followed my own directions. With most of the patterns I've made..not just mine... the lining is way too big for the inside. Most all directions have you cut the lining the same size as the outside...sew outside together, sew lining together, put outside inside lining with right side touching......I'm wondering if the problem is if the lining is 1/4" larger at the get-go because of the seams on the outside...throws off the pocket piece too. Another question... How much shrinkage should be allowed for the quilting? Baggy linings are just not my cup of tea...I want them just right and tacked down...if I don't get this figured out soon I'm going to have a pile of purses..have managed to correct them so they look nice but REALLY want to figure this out... Love quilting that paisley...just get lost in the design.... Any thoughts or advice appreciated...
