Then youre all set to begin.

You will need a couple of sewing pins to secure the wadding to the fabric.

Now fold the fabric and wadding in half, as seen here.

Secure all the edges using sewing pins and head on over to the sewing machine.

Step 4

Stitch both sides of the fabric.

Now its time to flip the swatch inside out so that the printed side is facing out.

Just set it aside for a bit while you work on the pocket.

Now fold the left and right side of this swatch inside, at about half an inch.

You will also need to fold the bottom, so go ahead and fold it and iron it.

Go ahead and pin the swatch in place if you like.

Step 7

Sew the pocket onto the lining on three sides, leaving the top side open.

Next, fold the entire lining fabric in half and secure the edges with pins.

verify that the pins are a quarter of an inch away from the edges.

Stitch up the two sides, as seen below, leaving a quarter inch allowance on either side.

Feel free to cut away the excess if you gotta.

This might be necessary to help you fit the lining into the main fabric.

Step 8

The next step is to insert the lining into the main fabric.

Simply use your hands and fingers to push the fabric in and smoothen out the edges.

Also poke out the corners of the fabric so that they point out.

Just remember to tuck the fabric in so that the wadding is well hidden.

Once you fold the printed fabric inside to cover the fabric, secure it with a pin.

Pin the lining, the wadding, and the printed fabric in place on both sides.
