When you put the bag together you have:-
the lining right side out - this may be where you went wrong
the outer bag inside out (handles on inside)
put lining inside the bag
match side seams - the right sides of bag should be together - you should only see the lining at this stage
pin round the top and stitch with 1/4" seam
Put your hand through the opening at bottom and pull the bag through and then push lining back into bag and push out the corners and top stitch about 1/2" from top.
Hope this helps
