"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village. As you could see the bottom is being placed sort of inside. Being tucked inside that body. The right sides are together because this is on the wrong side. The right sides are together and being tucked in so let's do that last side. You want to rotate around, match your centers and pin. Now when you have the centers pinned now you would ease the rest of the bag in place. The rest of the bottom in place and put in several pins in between to hold that in place for the sewing. Because it is a little bit difficult sewing a lot of thickness here and you are going to go around corners. So you want to make sure nothing is going to shift while you are sewing. You want it placed nicely. So lots of pins and we would remove them as we sew but it just very helpful to have a lot of pins in place. You can just ease it around don't worry if things don't match up exact. You are going to have a seam allowance that will allow a little bit of things not matching exactly. AS long as it is mostly covered all of that and just go around between and doing the corner. Sort of tuck that bottom inside a little bit and bend it a little to the inside dies and place your pins. Lots of pins. The last one. Now we are ready to sew the bottom piece on. "
