Once attached, the band should end at the second
notch you made. Your bag will look something like
this with the band attached.

from each end with a chalk marker (shown in white).
U V
Position your straps near the top of the bag, lining

sides, and sew in place. Remember to backstitch at
the seam lines stitched into the straps.
Your Design Shaped Bag is now finished and ready
