Let my mistake be your lesson
#13
I've been making bags bags bags. I had the bright idea to make one with a really wide bottom. Guess what, the lining didn't fit. It was too short. So I had to add a piece of fabric to the top of the lining to make it long enough. It came out fine but what a pain.
Don't do as I do.

(for shopping bags, that is!)
AND-----it finally occurred to me that my huge stash of double knit scraps are ideal for linings.

Thanks for this idea. I have lots of double knit left to me by my grandmother. Not just scraps, but large amounts. Any other ideas for using this stuff up? It seems to be "indestructible". haha I've made a 9 patch scrap quilt cover for my bed but never quilted it. The colors are really bright and never fade.

I use double knit for the back of floor quilts for kids. For the back of mug rugs, eliminates needing batting. Once in a while for batting, but it depends on what the item is.
