lined Bags

[cdm101]

On shooting bags and linen possible bags how do you attach the fabric that you line the inside with.

cut panels of it the same size as the leather panels and stitch at the same time your sewing the leather seams, you can take them in place with a little glue or tack through both the leather and linen every few inches and as you sew to the tack stich, cut it out of the wat and proceed.

If your attaching cloth to inside of a cloth bag, there's this stuff you can buy at a fabric store called stablizer. When heated with an iron, it will melt and essentially glue the two pieces of cloth together. It's used in collars and such to add stiffness. There are different types of stablizers, be sure to buy the one that melts and glues.
If your attaching cloth to a leather bag I would probably use hot glue. Just start in one corner of the fabric and add a few drops, squeeze together and move until the whole piece becomes completely glued. I use hot glue for attaching all kinds of stuff to leather. It's allways and instant bond and It's near impossible to remove the stuff after the glue sets. If you make a mistake you can often use a heat gun to remove if your careful. An old iron will smooth out bumps of glue. Just don't scald the cloth.

What's wrong with just buttoning the liner in, like was done on old haversacks? I supect it's more PC for any P. It would allow the liner to be removed for cleaning once in awhile.

I have used spray glues, like 3M "super 77" sprayed on lightly to give tack. its thin and flexible, never no its there on the finished product.

He didn't say anything about what was PC...Just how to do the lining.

perhaps because the originals still in existence wheren't made that way..
I do not claim to have seen all the originallined bags still extant the many I have seen both in books and in person the lining was sewn in or glued and sewn in.
In a discussion with well known/respected 18th Century leather craftsman/student Steve Lalioff, he noted that when glued in they used the common (for that period) flour and water paste - rye flour was reputed to be the best flour for making such a paste.....

Wow, this is good info. I was just thinking of making my next pouch (my 3rd), and was wondering how to line one w/ cloth. I open the forum to see if anyone has written about it, and lo and behold, it's the first topic I see. This is why I love this forum! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Cleaning? :wink:

I just finished one and I just did as others have said and sewed the whole thing together inside-out with the pillow-ticking panels on the outside. It came out reasonably well. I was trying to be PC so no spray glue or sticky tape but I'd have to say that would have made it easier. BTW, my pattern was the fowling pattern on this site so there isn't a gusset to deal with...
