The outer bag:
Sew the single strips together and topstitch them close to the selvedge as follows:
On the top the cork-fabric mocca 15 cm x 39 cm.
In the middle the cork-fabric artichoke 24 cm x 39 cm.
Then the cork-fabric mocca 6 cm x 39 cm.
At the bottom the cork-fabric artichoke 6 cm x 39 cm (Boden).
At the end, you can mount 5 metallic eyelets onto the lower part of the cork-cutting mocca (as described in the tutorial for eyelets). Set the first eyelet centrally and then the next ones on either side always at a distance of 6 cm. Sew afterwards the two outer bag parts on the right sides together at the both sides and the bottom.
Pull apart the two lower corners of the bag, so that the lateral seam is accurately placed onto the bottom seam. Two bottom corners are carried out laterally into two triangles. Stitch these corners transversely to the side seam at 3.5 cm each. So you get a bottom base width of 7 cm. Cut the corners back down to about 1 cm.
Place the cotton-fabric right sides together and tuck the two respective lateral seams and the bottom seam. Tuck just as by the outer bag, the two bottom corners. Now turn inside out your sewn outer bag and stitch it with the inner bag right sides together. Sew the inner bag onto the upper brown cork strips of the outer bag. Leave thereby an opening vacant. Turn again inside out your bag and tuck the opening narrowly close to the selvedge. Then proceed to the foot wide top-stitching of the upper edge. At the end, sew the bag handles onto the bag.

Now turn inside out your sewn outer bag and stitch it with the inner bag right sides together. Sew the inner bag onto the upper brown cork strips of the outer bag. Leave thereby an opening vacant. Turn again inside out your bag and tuck the opening narrowly close to the selvedge. Then proceed to the foot wide top-stitching of the upper edge. At the end, sew the bag handles onto the bag.
