Cut two sides of the contrast color fabric in a round shape.
Place the right sides together of the fabrics and sew with an allowance of about 1㎝(3/8″).
The small snips will help the curved edge.
Turn right side out. And press them.
Sew the contrast color fabric down both sides of the outer layer of the front pocket.
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 1㎝(3/8″) seam allowance.
Sew the zipper face to face on top of the main panel.
Align the front pocket below the main panel.
Sew on 3 sides.
Face the righr side of the main panel lining and the inside zipper pocket.
Sew a rectangle 15cm wide and 1cm tall.
Draw another line through the center of the rectangle right across.
At each end, draw a triangle from the corners to that center line.
Carefully cut along the center line until your reach the triangle, and then snip into the corners, close to, but not through, your line of stitching.
Turn the lining fabric through the hole you just cut and out to the back.
Press the opening neatly.
Time now to place our zipper.
Sewing with the front upper most, stitch around the opening to secure the zipper in place.
Fold up the pocket lining and pin along the 3 open sides.
Stitch the 3 sides of the pocket lining , making sure to only sew the lining, not through the outer fabric as well.
With assembled lining of the main panel 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 1㎝(3/8″) 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 0.2cm 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 1㎝(3/8″), leaving an opening on the lining.
Turn it right side out by pulling the fabric through the opening. And sew up this opening.
Attach the strap.
