Step 1: Cut your outer fabric. Cut two pieces of your chosen outer fabric each measuring 19" x 21" using the Fiskars Rotary Cutter and Ruler Combo (6" x 24").
Step 2: Cut your lining fabric. Cut two pieces of your lining fabric each measuring 19" x 21" using the same rotary cutter.
Step 3: Adhere fabrics. Following manufacturer's instructions, adhere fusible Craft Fuse to the back of the outer fabric.
Step 4: Sew seams. Next, sew your side seams and the bottom seam of the two outer fabrics together, with the right sides facing in towards each other.
Step 5: Leave a hole. Then, sew your side seams and the bottom seam of the two lining fabrics together, with the right sides facing in towards each other. Leave a 6" hole unsewn in the bottom seam for turning out the fabric later.
Step 6: Mark a square. Mark a 3" square in each bottom corner of the sewn outer fabric, using the stitching as your right angle guide.
Step 7: Cut away marked squares. Using the Fiskars Micro-Tip Fashion Scissors (No. 5) for precision and quick, crisp cuts, cut out the corners following your marked lines.
Step 8: Create the gusset. Open up the corners of the fabric and re-pin together to create the gusset bottom on both sides of the bag.
Step 9: Repeat steps 6-8 for the lining fabric.
Step 10: Match the seams. Place the outer bag inside the lining with the right side of the outer fabric facing the right side of the lining. Match the side seams and pin around the perimeter of the top edge. Sew the bag's outer fabric to the lining around the top edge.
Step 11: Turn the bag inside out. Turn the bag right side out through the opening you left in the lining fabric.
Step 12: Stitch the hole. Hand stitch or machine stitch the hole in the lining closed.
Step 13: Add a top stitch. Press the top, opening edge of the bag with an iron and top stitch through all layers of fabric.
Step 14: Add handles. Cut two lengths of cotton webbing measuring 38" and sew to each side of the bag for handles. Take to the beach and enjoy!
