Sew around the top of the basket portion to attach the collar.With the collar inside-out, place the basket portion inside the collar, so that the top of the basket portion is flush with one edge of the collar, aligning the seams of the collar with the midpoints of the side panels.Wrong-side to wrong-side, sew the collar fabric together on the shorter edges to form a tube.Then sew the side piece to the bottom piece. This webbing will feed out and around the basket to hold the bag in place. Pin a 2’ piece of webbing at the midpoint of the bottom seam on the right-side.Sew the lining to outer pieces, wrong-side to wrong-side, less than 3/8” from the edge, leaving one side open to insert the foam, then sewing closed.

This will prevent the foam from being sewn into the seam allowance.
