    Here is a close up picture of how close you get to the casing line.

    Now you are going to make the bottom of the bag by folding the edge and stitching 1 inch from the corner.

    You can play around with different measurements but be careful that your pocket flaps don't extend too far down.

    Stitch/tack the corner into the side seam, then turn right side out.

    Almost finished!

    Take your cording and cut it in half. Make sure you tape the ends so that it doesn't unravel. Using a safety pin, run the cording through the casing.

    NP3 this is a wonderful tutorial. I have seen others 'out there' with the same bag but I will say that yours is much better tutorial and your pictures are explicit.
    Thank you so much for your time and effort with this project.

    Thanks! I am a visual learner and I hate it when there aren't enough pictures.
