Pin the strap to the top edge of the bag and try it for length. Trim off the excess strap and sew in place.
The stripes on this embroidered ribbon are colors representing many cancer awareness organizations.
Measure your bottle at its widest point.

Pin the base to the bottom end of the bag. I'm not a big one for using lots of pins, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Pin the base to the body of the tote
Be sure you're pinning in the direction that will make them easy to take out as you sew.

Position the bag in your sewing machine with the base facing up. Sew the base to the bag using a 1/4-inch seam allowance.

Position base piece face up and sew it on.
Take the pins out as you get to them. Frequently check that you're not catching anything as you sew.

Turn the bag right side out. Pin the handles to the top edge of your mini tote so you can test the fit if you are going to wear it over your shoulder. Alternatively, you can make a short handle to hold.

Turn right-side-out
This is a great way to show your awareness for the importance of finding a cure for breast cancer.
