TO FINISH
Block and press edges under a dry cloth,
pin and sew the bottom seam using
backstitch, press the seam, pin and sew
the side seams using mattress stitch.
Sew in the loop.
Cut a piece of lining fabric the width of
the wash bag plus seam allowances, and
twice the depth of the wash bag plus seam
allowances. Cut a piece of wadding the
same size as the lining fabric.
With the lining fabric on top of the
wadding, fold over one of the top edges
and sew in place. Put the lining inside
the bag and fold over and pin the second
top piece to fit just below the top of the
knitted bag. It is better to have the lining
slightly shorter than the bag to stop it
being loose at the top. Sew in place.
Pin side seams, try inside the wash bag
and adjust to fit. It is better to have the
lining slightly narrower than the wash bag
to stop it being loose, so that the knitted
piece is eased to fit the lining piece. Sew
the side seams. Pin the lining into the wash
bag and hand-sew in place.
