From the base of the bag on both sides, mark 11inches all the way across. Fold over, leaving excess material. This will reinforce the attachment.

Leave the zipper zipped and pin one side to the bag opening with the outsides touching.
As you pin the other side, unzip the zipper so that you have access to the underside.
Make sure that you are lining up the seams from the sides of the bag as you unzip or it will be loppy...

Sew on the inside. Topstitch the outside.
The topstitch will be through alot of material, go slow.
Mend any raw edges or uneven material.

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...
