Optional Pre-Step 1. If you're using foam sheet as protection for your laptop, you'll need to place it between the outer bag and liner - then proceed with step 1. I have a laptop sleeve that I like and use already, so I did not use foam here.

1. Slide the liner into the outer bag - both should be turned so that the final side of the fabric is out (the right side of the outer bag should be exposed on the outside, and the right side of the liner should be visible inside the bag)
2. Turn in .25" along each edge where the liner and outer bag meet and pin them together. The tops of the 8.5" x 3.5" pieces (the 3.5" edges) should not be sewn, since this is where the strap will be inserted and attached
3. Sew along the pinned edges, hiding the stitches as much as possible
