leather bag lining
The bag doesn't have a zipper. I want to add a zipper and lining. Should I sew zipper and lining together first and then attach to the bag? Or I should sew the zipper to the bag and then add lining? You web site is very helpful. Thanks.

Re Leather Bag Lining
Dear sewsewmom,
You can do so either way. However it is going to be easier if you sew the lining to the zipper first and then sew the zipper to the bag. This way you can sew the lining to the zipper tape by machine instead of doing it by hand after sewing the zipper to the bag .
If your lining is heavy it may make sewing the zipper to the bag hard, if you attach the lining to the zipper first. You need to decide which way works best for you.
Another way is to align the edge of the bag and the lining with the zipper tape in between, align the zipper tape with these edges as well, then you can sew a seam over all three by machine.
Happy sewing,

Dear sewsewmom,
It is usually only necessary to attach the lining to the opening of the bag. For example where the zipper is sewn in. So in such a case you would single fold and sew the lining around the zipper tape. There is no need to attach the lining anywhere else inside the bag. You can use the slip stitch to join the lining to the zipper tape.
Let me know if this helps,
