More importantly, carefully clip the four edges to release the amount of bulk without clipping sewn thread.
Turn panel inside out. Making sure your four edges are pushed our (Sharp) Use a point turner, knitting needle, pen, something semi-sharp.
Press with a steam iron
Edge/Topstitch bag panel close to the edge all the way around. Making sure the 4" open seam is inside and sewn over.

Take the bottom corner on the left side up where it meets the top edge forming a triangle.
Take the top corner on the right side down meeting the edge forming a triangle.
Fold line mark or imagine a diagonal line that starts at the bottom left and top right. Fold the right side up to meet close up the opening.

Open the pressed strap, fold in and press 1/2 on both sides of the side. Closing the raw edge, press pin and sew close to the edge.
