sew...what?

After months of neglect, I am finally lining my knitted shoulder bag. I scrimmaged through my fabric stash and found some gray broadcloth, however, it looked too plain. So I took a fine black permanent marker and scribbled on it…and since I do not have the luxury of a sewing machine, I handstitched the seams…not very straight, eh?

Then oversewn the lining into the bag…too puckered!
I know of a woman who sews in the lining of her daughter’s felted bags…hey, Ger and Mary, do you think your mom will adopt me?
