I want to know also. I'm thinking about using my table saw. I know everyone doesn't have one, but you have friends? I would put a piece of board over the mat when putting it through the blade, and use a "pusher" to hold it down firmly. Never done it, but may. I have an old cutting mat I'm ready to cut up.

I've made both these bags (I didn't do any printing on the first one like they did), both have square bottoms, the lst one is pretty big.

The tote bags I use for groceries have a plastic in the bottom that help to support the bottom of the bag. You can get the plastic cutting boards and cut to size for the bottom. I have bought them before at a dollar store 2 for $1.00.

You should watch the YouTube video by Debbie Shore who does a lined tote bag. Clear and easy, you can make it any size you want. I have heard of the suggestion for using the plastic grids from craft stores and I think that's probably the best for the bottom of you bag. The other suggestion is to cut up old plastic cutting sheets...they are about $1.25 each and can be cut in half lengthwise.
