Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Gather all necessary materials before you start sewing. You will need:

• Fabric: Canvas or faux leather (links provided in the description)
• Endless zipper
• Strap (25 mm wide)
• Colorful bag accessories
• Magnet closure
• Sewing machine (consider renting the JUKI Sumato TL-2300)

Step 2: Create the Bag’s Back

• Cut the fabric for the back piece of the bag according to the pattern.
• Sew the endless zipper along the top edge of the back piece to allow for expansion.
• Ensure the zipper opens smoothly and is securely attached.

Step 3: Assemble the Front of the Bag

• Cut the front fabric pieces according to the pattern.
• Attach any decorative elements or pockets you want on the front.
• Sew the front pieces together while leaving space for the zipper.

Step 4: Add D-Rings

• Attach D-rings to both sides of the bag using fabric loops.
• Ensure they are secured tightly as they will hold the strap.

Step 5: Create the Side Panels

• Cut the side panel fabric pieces from your chosen material.
• Sew the side panels to the front and back pieces of the bag, ensuring a snug fit.

Step 6: Prepare the Lining with Bias Tape

• Cut the lining fabric according to the pattern.
• Use bias tape to finish the edges of the lining for a clean look.
• Sew the lining pieces together, leaving an opening for turning later.

Step 7: Add Interior Pockets

• If desired, add internal pockets to the lining for organization.
• Sew these pockets securely before attaching the lining to the bag.

Step 8: Combine the Lining and Outer Bag

• Place the outer bag inside the lining, right sides together.
• Sew around the top edge, catching both the outer bag and lining in the seam.
• Turn the bag right side out through the opening in the lining.

Step 9: Attach the Strap

• Cut your strap to the desired length.
• Attach the strap through the D-rings and secure with stitching.
• Make sure the strap is adjustable if needed.

Step 10: Finish with the Magnet Closure
