In today’s video I’m walking you through how I line the Simplicity 9308 tote bag. If you’ve ever made a tote and thought, “Okay…but I want the inside to look just as nice as the outside,” this one’s for you. I’m sharing my process for getting a clean, finished lining so your bag feels polished and sturdy—perfect for everyday use. I keep it practical and beginner-friendly, focusing on the order of construction and the little details that make the lining behave (and not fight you). This is the kind of step that can feel confusing when you’re reading pattern instructions, so I wanted to show it in real time the way I actually sew it. If you’re making S9308 or you just want a simple, repeatable method for lining a handmade tote, you’ll be able to take what I do here and use it on your own bags.
