   | 1) lay out material and cut to length , and cut in tapers. 
   | Use tape and heavy weights to hold down and prevent fabric from moving
   | 
   | 2) Lay out Karo step baffles , find middle length and width 
   | divide length by 4 and width by 5 rough estimate .
   | 
   | 3) do both outer and inner shell the same dimensions and karo step 
   | 
   | 4) fold over a 1/2 inch and stitch the outer hem
   | 
   | 5) attach garment loops to inside (shine Side)of shell line up with baffle line 
   | attach foot box loop  to outside of fabric (dull Side)  and fold back, this will prevent feeling it while sleeping

   | 6) install eyelets for draw string shock cord (reinforce for strength)
   | 
   | 7) tape baffles in place on one of the shells , sew in place 
   | attach to inside shell check often to correct any mistakes quickly 
   | double stich all connection seams 
   | 8) sew in triangle reinforcement for sewn foot box cut , fold and sew 
   | install it where taper starts between the two shells with triangle pointing down on one  side 
   | 
   | 9) sew two shell together at the top , remember to sew in channel for shock cord 
   | double stich all sides , but leave a hole for the down 
   | 
   | 10) triangle side and the bottom sew together 
   | after you should have 3 sides sewn together top, side and bottom 
   | 
   | 11) turn  bag inside out and sew the foot box.  Place triangle side between the two shells and sew

   | 
   | 14) with shell turned inside out sew box on to the two shells
