#Crochet and #Sewing folks, I need your help.

I'm making a crochet pencil case. I'm planning to line it with some cotton fabric.

There are three separate panels (two in the images) to be sewn together. Should I line the crochet pieces before I sew them together or after?

I will be doing the work by hand as I don't have an easily accessible machine.

My sewing experience is limited to reattaching a button and making one or two wonky pouches, so assume I know next to nothing about it.

@allysseriordan You make the lining as a separate piece. Cut pieces of lining the same size as the main pieces of the pencil case. Sew along 3 sides and leave one side open - the same side that you left open on the pencil case. Now you sew the lining to the pencil case in this way:
- turn over the raw edges at the opening about ¼ inch.
- sew the folded edge to the pencil case. Pins will help to hold it in place.
The idea is to have no raw edges of the lining visible at the end.
Hope this helps.
