Step 5 Adding organizational pockets to the right side of the main lining

1. Fold over one long end of the 18 inch by 10 inch piece of lining material 1/4 inch. Press. Fold over another 1/4 inch. Press.
2. Fold over one long edge of the 22 inch by 10 inch piece of lining material 1/4 inch. Press. Fold that same edge over again 1 inch. Press.
3. Top stitch along the bottom of both folds.
4. Push strip of elastic through the 1 inch casing of the longer piece of lining material. Sew the edges of the elastic to the fabric.
5. Make 3 pleats on the lower edge of this piece of fabric to shorten it to 18 inches.
6. Roll up the zippered pocket from earlier and pin it out of the way. (This will save you heartache later!)
7. Pin the pockets to the main lining material matching the non-hemmed edges to the corners that have been made by cutting out the squares.
8. Sew along this bottom edge on both pocket sets.
9. Sew from the bottom seam to the hem in 2 locations to make 3 pockets. (You can make as many or as few pockets as you like.)
The lining is done for now!
