S T
With the lining fabric positioned on your work surface right
side facing up, place the partially assembled tote bag over it
with the tote's right side facing down onto the lining.
With right sides together, pin the back panel to the other side
of the bottom panel, being sure to use the center marking to
align them properly. Sew the back panel to the bottom with a
1⁄2" seam allowance.
U V
Trim away the excess lining fabric around the edges of the
bag, trimming to the same 1⁄2" seam allowance as the blocks.
Once trimmed, your lining fabric should be the exact same
size as your bag is when laid out.
W X
With right sides together, sew together the side panels to the
front and back panels.
Once the two side panels are attached to the front and back
panels, your bag should look something like this.
