3. Join your top and bottom lining pieces leaving an opening in the middle to allow you to turn the fabric through.4. Sew the one edge of your lining fabric

to the top edge of your embroidery. You may have uneven seam allowances here but if you are using hemp it is better not to trim back until you have this seam sewn. Then trim back and neaten the edge to stop the fabric from from fraying.
