Place both ends of the strap 3.5㎝(1⅜″) from the side edges of the outer fabric and stitch them in place.
Fold the outer fabric in half and stitch both side seams.
Box the corners by aligning the side seams with the bottom center, then stitch.
Insert the outer bag into the lining (prepared the same way as the outer fabric) and stitch along the top opening, leaving a gap for turning.
Turn the bag right side out through the opening, then topstitch around the top edge.
To shape the bag, fold the four side edges and stitch down about 5㎝(2″)~7㎝(2¾″).
The assembly process is the same for all three sizes.
