I had to film it with the drop in lining per the designer's request. If I were to make the bag again, I would do it differently. Leave the interior lining and pocket open, birth through the lining, then close the lining through the pocket, then close pocket.

Thank you. I’m finally starting to make this today.
So I’m just wondering….if I left the inside zip pocket open at the bottom, do you think it would work to birth the bag instead of the drop-in lining?
