Cut out the lining

Now, it's necessary to cut out the lining.

It is better to take cotton or linen so that the lining keeps its shape well.

First, transfer the front side and the side part shapes onto the paper.

of

of

Secure the pattern to the fabric with the pins, folding it in two, as two pieces

of the front side are needed.

Trace with a pencil.

of

Cut out with a seam allowance of about 7-10 mm.

No seam allowance is needed for the side part on the fold.

of

Install the double cap rivets

Place the double cap rivets 10 mm away from the edge of the front side, at

equal distances from each other.

Insert the part with the stem on the front side, and cover it with the other

part on the wrong side.

Gently tap with a hammer on the wrong side.

of

Assembly

Take the front side and connect it with the side part using a marker in the

first loops.

Count 18 ticks from the top on the front side and side parts, place 2nd marker

in the 18th loops.

of

From the other side, place the marker in the first loops also.

Count 18 ticks and place the second marker in the 18th loops.

Between the markers, there should be 30 loops on the bottom of the front

side and 24 ticks on the side part.

of

Remove the first marker and insert the hook into the left corner.

Pull the loop, then crochet 17 SlSt along the edge. Insert the hook on the two

loops of the ticks.

Pull the working loop by 12 cm.

of

Crochet to the second marker, remove it, and crochet SlSt. Continue to crochet

insert the hook on the back loop of the chain of the front side and the ticks

of the side part.

Crochet 30 SlSt along the bottom. Every 5th SlSt should be crocheted on the

“bridge” between the 4th and the 5th tick of the side part.

of

Crochet to the marker, remove it. Crochet 18 SlSt to the end of the row.

Cut the thread, pull out the end. Pass it through the top loops of the parts

twice. Strengthen, hide, and process with fire the end from the wrong side.

Pass the starting thread through the top loops of the parts twice as well.

Strengthen, hide, and process with fire the end from the wrong side.

of

Take the back side, count 18 ticks from the bottom, and place the marker in

the 18th loop.

On the side parts, count 18 ticks on each side and place markers at the

bottom.

Between the markers, there should be 30 loops on the bottom of the back side

and 24 ticks on the side part.

of

Remove the first marker and insert the hook into the left corner.

Pull the loop, then crochet 17 SlSt along the edge. Insert the hook on the two

loops of the ticks.

Pull the working loop by 12 cm.

Crochet to the second marker, remove it, and crochet SlSt. Continue to crochet

insert the hook on the back loop of the chain of the front side and the ticks

of the side part.

Crochet 30 SlSt along the bottom. Every 5th SlSt should be crocheted on the

“bridge” between the 4th and the 5th tick of the side part.

Crochet to the marker, remove it. Crochet 18 SlSt to the valve.

Continue crocheting SlSt along the edge of the valve in each loop.

of

On the valve, pull the loop by 15 mm.

On the front of the valve, crochet SlSt in each post.

of

Then crochet into each loop. Crochet to the beginning of the crocheting.

Cut the end, pull out the end. Thread it under the first SlSt.

Tighten back in the last SlSt. Tie a knot, strengthen and hide the ends from

the wrong side.

of

Install the lock

Top part. Make the hole between the 3rd and the 4th post in the 2nd row

from the edge.

Insert the part of the lock with a screw from the wrong side.

of

Cover it with the second part from the top, press it down, and screw in the

screw. Tighten it using pliers.

Align the top part.

of

Lower part. Start by crocheting a square.

Crochet 3 CH.

of

2 row. 3 SC, CH.

3 row. 3 SC. Leave the end for sewing. Cut the thread, pull out the end.

Attach the lower part of the lock to the square using screws.

of

If you have trouble screwing in the screws, take a piece of leather and cut a

circle slightly larger than the lower part of the lock. Attach the lower part

and neatly sew it with the needle and the thread. Alternatively, you can use a

thinner cord.

Try on where the lower part of the lock will be, approximately about 6-7 rows

from the top.

of

Sew it to the bag. Pull the ends to the wrong side, tie a knot, strengthen, hide,

and process with fire.
