Run the tacking stitch to secure both the lining and the outer
fabric to the stabilizer.
AA BB
Run the next step to stitch out the decorative bean stitches.

Then run the next machine step to stitch the reinforcement
stitches on the outer edges of the zipper. These stitches are
useful for keeping the trimmed edges of the zipper in the
seam of the bag.
Repeat steps T - Y on the right side to finish placing the back
and lining fabrics.
Before moving on, pull the zipper pull down to the middle of
the back. This ensures that the zipper will have an opening
when we finish the bag and flip it inside out.
Lay your doll that you set aside from step P, right side facing
down, over the rectangular tacking stitches. Make sure to
align the outer rectangle on the doll with the tacking stitches,
as seen here.
