| The Middle |
| Moving onto the ends and zippered pockets... |
 Step 15: Remembering the "right sides together" mantra, pin and sew a 7" zipper to the top edge of fabric piece # 4. |
 Step 16: Same deal, sew the top piece #5 to the zipper. |
 Your end should look like this now. |
 Step 17: Pin the lining piece #5 to the zipper, but on the other side, and sew in place. When you fold both up both piece #5's, the zipper tape will be in the middle. (see step 19 for the finished look). |
 Step 18: Repeat on with lining piece #4. |
 Step 19: Fold all the pieces away from the zipper and press. See step 21 for the back view. |
 Step 20: Topstitch on both sides of the zipper. |
 Step 21: Move the zipper pull into the middle and stitch across both ends of the zipper tape. |
 The back view at this point. |
 Step 22: Trim off the excess zipper tape. |
 Step 23: Lay a lining piece and fabric piece #6 right sides together and stitch with a 3/8" seam allowance around the center. Clip the curve and turn right side out. Press. |
 Step 24: Lay the zippered piece one top of one bag end (piece # 3). In the picture they don't line up exactly, but I've fixed the pattern so they should line up better in your bag. |
 Step 25: Lay the border circle over the top. Topstitch along the inner circle (the arrow is pointing to the topstitching). Zigzag stitch around the outer edge. Be sure to keep the zipper pull in the middle until you're finished. |
