Step 2Sewing the Bottom Plus Reinforcement
Fold the body panel of felt in half lengthwise, so it measures 7 inches by 10.25 inches, doubled up.
Fold the bottom panel of fabric in half widthwise, so it measures 8 inches by 2.5 inches, doubled up (picture).
The fold lines up the centers of the two pieces. Mark the felt and the inside of the fabric at the fold.
Unfold the two panels and lay the fabric panel on top of the felt. Use the marks to line up the panels.
The fabric will overhang the felt by 1/2 inch on each side (picture).
Fold this excess under to carefully match the width of the felt (picture). Fold over the remaining ragged edges of the fabric about the same amount as the sides were folded. Iron down all four creases, making it easier to sew.
Place the fabric on the felt panel and align again using the marks. Sew the panel onto the felt using a straight stitch. Use a color of thread that coordinates or compliments the felt color. The fabric panel now reinforces the felt body where the bottom of the bag will be.
