Cut Fabric
Using scissors, cut the cotton fabric and lining fabric into the desired shapes for your bag or purse, ensuring to leave a seam allowance.

Cut Interfacing
Cut interfacing pieces to match the cut fabric pieces. This will add strength and stability to your bag.
Assembly

Sew Lining
With right sides together, sew the lining fabric pieces together, leaving the top open for turning later.

Insert Zipper
Pin the zipper to the top edge of the outer fabric, and sew it in place, making sure to sew carefully to secure the zipper.

Attach Strap
Cut the strap material to the desired length and attach it to the sides of the bag, ensuring it is secured well.
