This is my second Charlie bag….I used a brown double fold bias against the green to give more contrast… I lined the inside with the same brown that i made the bias strips out of . I sewed the lining down to the main fabric before I began constructing the bag so that the liner would not be baggy in there. I then used french seams to keep it neat…. I squared off the bottom instead of folding like the instructions suggest.
