Fold the bag, right sides, out sides together.
Marking the middle with a pin. Unfold.
From the middle pin, measure out three inches, in each direction, and mark with pins again.
Do this on Both sides.
This indicates your bag's bottom.*
With the bag flat out, one handle in front of you, pinch the fabric at the center pins, and fold it up towards you to meet the second set of pins. Then fold the other handle up to meet the first handle.
It should look like this, from the side.
Pin it down, and then sew up the sides as is.
When you right side out the bag, the tucked section will fold up, and that makes the bag's base.
* At this point you could use some iron on vinyl to make the bottom more waterproof, or some fusible interfacing to make it more stiff, but it's not necessary.
