Instructions

1. Cut the fabric to size.

2. Adhere fusible interfacing to the panel outer fabric, top gusset outer fabric, and bottom gusset outer fabric.

3. Sew a line on the outer side of the panel lining fabric. Mark the center of the top gusset outer fabric, top gusset lining fabric, bottom gusset outer fabric, bottom gusset lining fabric and zipper.

4. With the front sides facing outside, align panel outer fabric and panel lining fabric, and sew them together using a zigzag stitch or similar.

5. With the front sides facing each other, sew together the top gusset outer fabric and lining fabric at the opening edge with a zipper in between.

6. Open 5 and sew it in place.

7. Sew the opposite side as well.

8. With the front sides facing each other, place the bottom gusset outer fabric and bottom gusset lining fabric together with the top gusset fabric from 7, and sew along the short edge.

9. When sewing the other short side, let the fabric sandwiched in the top seam hang slightly loose.

10. Turn it inside out and secure it with a zigzag stitch or similar.

11. Make a slit in the upper gusset outer fabric.

12. Thread the D-ring through the tape, fold it in half, and temporarily secure it to the panel outer fabric on the back side.

13. With the front sides facing each other, place pieces from 11 and 12 together. Leave the zipper open.

14. Trim the seam allowance to 0.8 cm.

15. Wrap it up using bias binding fabric.

16. Fold the loop fabric in quarters and iron it. Thread the swivel hook through it, then unfold it briefly and sew the edges together with the front sides facing each other. Refold it and sew both sides. Sew about 2 cm from the swivel hook.

17. Turn over the side panels, attach the straps, and you're done!.
