START TIME

1. Our first step is to attach the zipper. See the "Pointers" Section for step-by-step directions if you don't have a zipper foot (or don't feel like changing the feet on your sewing machine)








2. Next flip your "right" sides together and sew along the edge, closing the long edges, leaving the shorter edges open.

3. Now let's sew up the short sides. The important part here is to make sure your zipper and the seam on the bottom of the bag are lined up as perfectly as possible.





4. This is an optional step, but I like the final touch it puts on the inside of the bag; take two pieces of  scraps (approx. 2"x2") and roll it around the end of the zipper, kind of like a burrito, and then sew as close to the bag as you can.

This is what you have so far:

Inside out:
Outside right:

 

You're almost done!

TIME CHECK

This is where you get to decide what you want the shape of your finished bag to look like.

5. With the bag inside out, sew your corners together to get your final shape. Let's start with 2 cm to see what that looks like:

    

It will look like this inside out:

Here we are with the 3 cm corner.









You decide!
