The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.
Place the right sides together of the outer and lining of the pocket and sew the top and bottom with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Turn right side out and iron them.
Then Top stitch only the upper part.
Place and sew the prepared pockets on the outer layer and lining of the main fabric.
Make the back pocket the same way.
Place on top of the back of the main fabric and sew.
On the front side, place handles at intervals of 13 cm.
And overlap the horizontally long handle on top of it.
On the back sides, place the bag straps from the bottom.
With assembled lining right side up, center zipper right side facing up along top edge. Place the outer layer, right side down on top. Pin in place. Using your zipper foot, sew along top edge using a 1cm seam allowance.
Open out, press pieces away from the zipper.
Attach the outer and lining to the other side of the zip the same way.
Open out, press pieces away from and top stitch on both 0.3cm away from the zipper.
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 1cm, leaving a n opening on the lining.
Combine the seams so that a flat base is formed.
Sew with an allowance of about 1cm.
Turn out the bag through the hole that we left not stitched.
After this, sew up this hole.
