Basic instructions

Embellish bag, and depending on closure type, attach closure at this point. Place bag sections together with right sides facing and close side seams and base seam. Sew base corners with side seams and base seams meeting up precisely. Sew bag lining in the exact same way. Press seam allowances inwards on top edges of outer fabric and lining. Place one section inside the other with wrong sides facing and stitch top edges together with the edgestitch foot.
