I need some clarification please. My sister needs a bag for all her medications to take to hospital every time she goes. So I have undone the dollar store bag & copied the pattern x2 so it will be reversible.

I use the batting in the bottom too except the parts I cut away to form the bottom. I

you mean the 1-2 inch square that you cut away right? well That is how I would normally do it but I was thinking of making this as a box pleat bottom?

If you mean this as in my bag, then I cut the batting away the same way (1-2 inch square) so the pleat will not be to thick.

you can put it all the way through Lorayle, that is what I do, it gives the bag a better support. If you only apply batting to the sides, they become heavier and with bottom support, the bag is floppy.
hope this helps
