Now, take the strip fabric.
Place the ruler over it and cut it down to 3.
Place it on top of the bag, then trim the excess ends.
Next, fold both short ends of the strip into 1/2, then press.
Stitch right along the raw edge just like earlier.
Finger-press it open and iron from one side to the other.
Repeat these steps to the other strip.
Pin it in place, then stitch on both long edges all the way down.
Repeat these steps to add the second channel on the opposite side.
Repeat it on the other side.
After sewing, turn it right side out.
