Cut out two rectangles from two sides of the FRAKTA bag that are the same size as the bag exterior, approximately 12� x 16.�  Use scissors to remove the long handles from the bag.  Keep the short handles in place.  <br />3. From the excess FRAKTA, cut two small rectangles, approximately 4.5� x 5.5.�<br />4.  Using a straight stitch, hand or machine sew the two small rectangles to one or both facets of what you designate as the inside of the FRAKTA lining.  (These are your pockets for your phone + wallet + gum!)<br />5.  Pin together the edges of the two large FRAKTA rectangles with interior sides facing each other.
