Mark the quarter points on the main and bottom panel. With sharp scissors make small snips on bottom seam of the main panel.
Using your quater marks, start pining the bottom of your main panel around the perimeter of your bottom. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Place the two linings facing each other. Leave an opening on the left side and 3/4″ on the right side and sew. Use the same process to sew the bottom to the lining of the main panel.
Turn right side out the outer layer.
Put the outer layer inside the lining. Align the bag opening and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
