Freezer Paper Cut:

• -2.25" X 3.5" (1)

Vinyl Cut:

Center your freezer paper rectangle over your patchwork front bottom and iron the freezer paper shiny side down so it adheres. Sew right along the edge of the freezer paper, all the way around, and remove.

Layer your patchwork bottom & a front bottom right sides together (RST) and sew along the rectangle outline.

Cut out the rectangle you just created, just outside the stitching line (but don't cut through your stitches).

Pull one side through and press firmly.

Layer together the two remaining front bottom pieces together and repeat steps 1–4.

Slide your vinyl piece on top of the opening you've created and use a light strip of glue along each edge to hold in place. Layer the patchwork top over top of it.

Topstitch through all 3 layers, 1/8th of an inch from the edge.

Time to make the strap - fold it in half lengthwise, press. Open, fold one short end 1/2" upwards with the wrong sides together (WST) as a hem and press. Open, press each long side to the middle crease you created first. Fold in half once more, sandwiching all the layers inside, press, and sew around all four edges.

Layer your strap on the patchwork front top piece, centered, and baste along one short end.

Take your back piece and layer it WST with your patchwork front bottom, baste around all 4 sides 1/8" from the edge.

Fold your insert piece in half, press, and layer on top of the patchwork front bottom, with the raw edges aligning with the patchwork front bottom's raw edges. Baste along all three raw edges.

Layer your zipper RST on the patchwork front bottom, sew.

Press, topstitch.

Layer the other side of the zipper on the patchwork front top and sew.

Topstitch the zipper top side.

Make sure the zipper is half open and sew the patchwork piece and back piece, RST, around all four sides. Pull it through your zipper opening, check that everything is aligned, pull it back inside out. Trim all four corners and the zipper tails.

Pull right side out and insert the snap on the strap. Press all seams and you're done!
