you begin at the top to sew on the long piece with 1/8" seam, stop sewing 1/8" before you reach the bottom, pay attention to have the needle down...

lift the presser-foot (remember to have the needle in down position) and turn the piece...
lay the blue fabric around the curve like this and sew the next seam........

when the blue fabric is in place on both sides, sew the seam at the top of the bag (folding it twice)..

turn your little bag inside out....

pin the side seam like this.......

and sew the next seam, a little bit larger than 1/8" so that you can't see the raw edges inside anymore....

iron the long small white fabric pieces (two sides to the middle and than fold again)
and close the tubes with a narrow seam, attach the two handles to the bag......
