“I spot a piece of Royal elephant!”
You do, indeed, Pol!! In fact you can spot two 😀 There’s one more piece about the same size left, to be incorporated into another bitsa.
I don’t normally line them Sazzie. Frank has been known to, if he’s joining fabrics edge to edge, which he does if the pieces are only just big enough. I use a felled seam, which is very like the more easily looked up flat-felled seam. A felled seam has two lines of stitching, flat-felled has three. I reckon two are enough for a bag, usually.
I do it like this –

(scroll down to the third type of seam) but I arrange the edges of the fabric so that the lower one sticks out a little bit beyond the upper one, rather than trimming it. Then I wrap the bigger one round the smaller one and sew again.
