Border and Assembly
Choose your border color (I chose gray).
Attach your yarn in any corner st and ch 1 (does not count as a sc).
Round 1: *3 sc in the corner st, 1 sc in each st across to the next corner.* Repeat all the way around, ending with a sl st to the first sc.
*Please note: when working along the sides of the pieces, just sc as evenly as possible.
Finish this part off. Weave in ends.
Now place the front and back of the bag on top of each other (right sides together). Whip st the pieces together along the bottom only.
If you are planning on lining the bag, cut your fabric piece to the size of the bag. Fold and iron the edges in and set in place using pins. Grab a needle and thread and do a simple sewing stitch around the entire piece.
Now fold the piece in half and along each side of the bag, you are going to join your border color yarn and sc the two pieces together. *Make sure you do both sides.
Now take your zipper and hand sew it in place. You can also add a cute key chain or tassel to the zipper for some extra flair!
