Step 9Sew the sides of the bag and turn rightside out - last step for the bag!
These need to be double stitched for strength. I first made 1/4" seams on both sides, then came back and sewed another row of stitches at 1/2". Don't sew all the way to the top and bottom edge though, you have to be careful to end each side right before hitting the nylon cord. If you stitch the cord it won't cinch the bag up properly.
Once the sides are double-stitched, turn the bag rightside out to hide those seams in the inside (the worms won't mind the seams, they can't see anything). The bag part of this project is done!
Let's prepare our wood frame now.

This is really good. However, one thing that led to some confusion...
Often, I like to make sure I understand something fully -- as I'm reading it -- and can visualize in my head how it's going to go, before I actually do it.
When you say in the Title and the Body to "turn rightside out," I thought you were referring to the earlier step, where we'd turned the individual halves of the bag inside out... and that in this step, we would turn it back rightside out.
(I'd been reading ahead to this step, and so was thoroughly confused when I actually sat down to do it.)
Would it be possible for you to change the wording -- perhaps something like:
"Sew the sides of the bag, then turn the bag inside out"
in the title.
... and then in the body, maybe add:
" (this is different from a couple steps ago, when you turned each half of the bag inside out). "
I hope I'm not coming across as nit-picky -- I just know it would have helped someone like me, who occasionally has trouble understanding or visualizing instructions.
Awesome instructable!
Thanks!
