Next, using a pair of scissors, cut away the excess stabilizer
covering the zipper opening of the bag, then turn the bag
right-side out through the opening.
Place the base fabric with the stitched design, face down
over top the back of the bag. At the same time you will have
a 9x9 piece of lining fabric placed over top the stitched
design. Carefully lay it so that all of the design is roughly
centered within the circular stitch line of the bag back.
Remove your project from the hoop, then, using a rotary
cutter and ruler, trim away the excess fabric and stabilizer to
a 1⁄4”-1⁄2” seam allowance all the way around.
Now your Wildlife Reflections Circle Bag is complete!
