Here is where we start to sew it like a childs block
Sew the first two on each side together from seam to seam - do not go clear to the edge of the fabric or you will not be able to turn the corner.

Pin and sew the other side and the other end. Then you will have to sew the sides the rest of the way up - keeps turning corners.

I told you this took me a very long time to sew - this is the last part to sew together - pin just the fronts and sew between the seams.

Ok I just caught up with myself... I think this is where the outside is going together.
Do you know there is no going back on this - you will have to figure this out... It is hard enough to sew - a tutorial is a real challenge...

REMEMBER don't sew through the seams - just go to the edges of them or you won't be able to turn the corners.

Ok. Well. Now let me see if it will let me post the last batch of pics of how I did the lining with out hand sewing it. You can if you like - it would be much easier on me...
and
From the right side, I pinned it in, turned it and sewed the first 'corner'

I think you can figure out how to sew on straps if you got it this far...
I'll try to post missing pics again later.

Miriam,
I can't believe that you spent soooo much time, only to have the QB mess up on your photos. Thank you so much for your efforts; I really do appreciate the time and effort involved and the frustration level that you had to have had. I think that I might have blown a fuse if I had been in your shoes. In order to "get it", I took your photos...the ones that came through unscathed, and your narrative, piece by piece and pasted them into a word document. Having the first and last photos on the same page allowed me to get a better idea of what you had done. A couple things still confused me and then after re-reading it all again, your words finally struck me when you said to sew it like a child's block. I still haven't figured out the last step in the lining unless you top stitch it closed but then it wouldn't hurt to top stitch all around the upper edge, I guess. It may be a while until I get around to giving it a try but I will do it soon as I get my Christmas stuff done. Again, THANK YOU!!!
Donna
