    Step 2: Fuse Interfacing (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Iron interfacing to the wrong side of outer fabric pieces for added structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Add Pocket (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Fold the pocket piece in half (right sides together), stitch around 3 sides, leaving a gap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Turn inside out, press, topstitch the top edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Place it on one lining panel and sew sides and bottom to attach it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Sew Outer Bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Place outer fabric pieces right sides together<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sew sides and bottom using a \u00bd\u201d seam allowance<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Box the corners: pinch corners, measure 2″ from the point, mark a line, and sew across. Cut off excess fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Step 5: Sew Lining<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Repeat the same steps for the lining fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Leave a 3\u201d gap in the bottom seam<\/strong> (to turn the bag right side out later).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            Step 6: Attach Straps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Place each strap 3″ from the side seams on the right side of the outer bag<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Pin the ends to the top edge. Let the loop of the strap hang down inside the bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              Step 7: Assemble the Bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Place outer bag inside the lining right sides together<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Align seams and pin around the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Sew around the top edge using a \u00bd\u201d seam allowance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Step 8: Turn & Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Pull the bag through the gap in the lining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Push lining into the bag and press the top edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Topstitch around the top edge to reinforce and keep straps in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Sew the opening in the lining closed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  Optional: Add Magnetic Snap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Before assembling, attach snap to lining pieces, about 1.5\u201d from top center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Follow snap kit instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
