Line up the raw edges of the pocket and base panels, outsides touching and pin along the bottom of the pocket to the base panel on both sides.

Sew on the inside.
Top stitch on the outside.

Because of the shape of the pocket panels, my side panels are not symetrical. I decided to make this bag even more unique by keeping the odd shape and fitting the zipper accordingly.

Sew on the side panels by starting with the base open flat, outside facing up.
Sew the skinny part first, the base.
Fold the sides over one at a time and sew.
Repeat on the opposite panel.
Top stitch all seams to reinforce.
Hem any raw edges except where the zipper is going.

I am not attached to labels. Nike, Izod... doesnt matter what it says. If an item has been discarded I just might cut it up and make something out of it...
