Step 9Stitch up the bag
Now comes the slightly complicated part. You want to set some stitches to close up the bag, and you want to be able to tighten them up so that when you are done the seam is still nice and neat and hidden.
If you hand stitched the bags up to this point, then probably you got some stretched stitches when you turned the bag right-side out. This is good, as it gives you an indication of how to finish up the stitches.
With your thread sticking out of the bag from the inside, you want to take your needle and feed it through one panel from the inside out [Figure 1]. Then, come across the seam and go through the second panel, outside to inside [Figure 2]. You have now completed a single stitch.
Now, repeat the process reversed. Needle through the second panel, inside to outside [Figure 3]. Then needle through the first panel, outside to inside [Figure 4].
Leave your stitches loose as long as you can, because they're easy to tighten later, and you want to have room to sew.
