Do this by marking the quarter of your bottom panel and the quarter of your main panel. Using your quarter marks, start pining the bottom of your main panel around the perimeter of your bottom. Sew all the edges with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Fold the edge of the bias tape over the seam allowance. Then fold over again flush with the seam. Press in place. Stitch along the folded edge of the bias tape.
Fold the main panel ( the long fabric ) in half and sew. Fold the lower inward by 3/8″ and press in place.
Place the top together of the main panels and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″. Open out, press pieces away from and top stitch on the top.
