Fold the backing over the pocket and sew one short edge and then the long edge. Be careful as this can get a little thick. Turn the tube right side out and iron flat. Test to make sure everything fits in its pocket.

Measure the plastic canvas and cut it slightly smaller than the backing fabric. Cut very close to the "line", so that no little tabs stick out. If, like me, you're making a bag filler that has a bend in it, cut the plastic canvas into parts - measure the smaller part of the bag filler and cut the plastic canvas small enough to fit in each section.

Insert the plastic canvas into the tube of the backing fabric.

Sew along the line of the fold in the bag filler (again, if you're making one that bends).
