The pattern includes seam allowances.


Cut the 2 outer and 2 lining into the shape of the pattern.


Place the right sides together of the outer and lining of the pocket fabric and sew the 4 sides with an allowance of about 1㎝, leaving an opening.


Clip the corners and turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening.
Press and topstitch the top edge.


Place pockets on the outer and lining and sew on 3 sides.


Place the right sides together of the 2 outers and sew the both sides and bottom.
Place the right sides together of the 2 linings and sew the both sides and bottom, leaving an opening.


Combine the side seam and bottom seam so that a flat base is formed. Sew with an allowance of about 1㎝.


Turn the outer layer right side out.


Put the outer fabric into the lining.


Sew along the handle and the bag opening.
At this time, leave about 7cm of the ends of the handles on both sides without stitching.


Turn out the bag through the opening of the lining.
And sew up this hole.


Open the unsewn end of the handle.
Place the right sides together of the handle and sew.


Top stitch the edges of the bag from the opening to the handle.
