Bend zipper ends in place. (at the pull side).
Fold the other side of the zipper so it faces down.
Place the outer layer, right side down on top. Pin in place.
Using your zipper foot, sew along top edge using a 3/8″ seam allowance.
Use the same process to sew the zipper to the other side of the bag pieces.
Position straps 1″ down from the top edge of the bag, then sew with 3/8″ seam allowance.
Flip the layers so the outer bag pieces are right sides together, and the lining pieces are right sides together.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″, leaving a 4-inch opening on the lining.
Then combine the seams so that a flat base is formed.
Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening.
