Assembly guide

Neaten the raw edges. With right sides together, sew the sides and bottom, stopping each side seam at the marked casing line. Backstitch the stops.

A few useful answers

How much cord should I prepare?

Start with two lengths of about twice the finished width plus 100 mm each: 500 mm per cord for a 200 mm bag. Adjust for your knots.

How do I sew the cord channels?

Press side seams open and secure the free upper edges. Turn the top by the hem amount, then by the casing depth. Stitch near the lower fold, keeping both channel ends open.

How do I thread the two cords?

Turn the bag out. Thread each cord through both channels, starting from opposite sides, and knot its ends. Finished height includes the casing; usable space below it is smaller.
