"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel with Expert Village. So we just sewing our lining pieces together and now we're going to do the same thing with our exterior bag. The first thing again is just go ahead and find the center of the bottom and stick a pin there. Then also with your back and because we cut out our sides and our bottom in one whole piece you can just fold that in half then put a pin on either side as well. So when you figure that out go ahead and take your front and then you'll just start pinning, you just want to pin as close as you can to the edge. Because of the vinyl the one problem with it is that it does retain any holes that you stick in it so I just kind of like to stick them as close as to the edge as possible. Then you don't have to worry about any unwanted little holes. Sometimes with the vinyl the corners are a little tricky so I just make like a little small pleat and then turn it around. You're going to do the same thing to the other side once you have the front pinned on go ahead and pin on the back on the same way. See our bag is coming together so we finished pinning now we're just going to go ahead and sew up the sides, bottom then come back up the other side and do the same exact thing for the back."
