Here's a pic of the inside pieces:

Take the inside bucket pieces (right sides together) and sew (twice) or serge along the sides and bottom leaving the corners open:

Next take one of the corners and take the square and open it up as shown in the picture and stitch. ONLY DO 1 CORNER AS THE OTHER ONE IS LEFT OPEN SO THAT YOU CAN TURN THE BAG RIGHT SIDE OUT!!!

OK now for the outer part.

I use interfacing and sew it to the outside corduroy for structure. Take the small inside panel of outer fabric. Take Depth Panel. WIth right sides together, sew the panel into the sides and bottom of the bag (see pic I'm having a hard time explaining)

Here it is the inside panel sewn to the depth panel.

Now take the large panel and put the inside panel connected to the depth panel and put them together so they match up - if you have a pocket on the back, do it like this........ hopefully this pic will show you better than I can explain it

Now sew the inside panel which is connected to the depth panel to the large panel as shown below:

Now take the bag and make it right side out. Take the inner fabric that attaches to the outside flap and sew right sides together along the top flap....

Take your strap and sew right sides together, then turn inside out and either topstich or press or whatever you do to straps!

Then take your strap and pin it into the inside of the bags so right sides are touching:

Now make the inner bucket so that right side is facing out and insert it into the outer bucket which is facing in so right sides are facing.......

Now sew the inside to the outside. On the sides and front panel, sew the inner fabric to the outer. BUT at the flap intersection, sew the inner fabric of the flap to the inner fabric of the bucket...hopefully that made sense...

Here's a pic of where you're sewing the inside fabrics together at the flap intersection:

warneral · 06-24-2003, 11:39 PM

OK here's the bag all inside out

warneral · 06-24-2003, 11:42 PM

OK now take that open corner and turn it so it's right side out...this is a challenge when you have cord, inside layers, strap and interfacing so you may need to open your hole up a bit or be patient LOL...I first take the flap fabric through, then the strap, then the rest of the bag if that helps.....

Now once bag is right side out, you're going to topstitch the sides, front and the entire flap. Creating a loop of topstitching....

Here's another topstich view:
