I made this fat bottom bag a bit bigger than the others by adding some stitches to the beginning chain and some rows to the body as well as the handle flaps. 
I used polka dot rick rack to weave through the gathering row between stitches and left the ends long enough to tie so I could close it up on the sides if I want. The ends look okay even if I don't tie them in a bow and leave them dangling instead. (see photo above)
I used opposite polka dot cloth for the lining, added after finishing off main body, before adding the handle flaps. To put the magnetic snap closures on, I made sure to remember to fasten them on before sewing the handles into the flaps.
I'm very happy with this bag, I think it's darling. Someone will be getting it for Christmas this year, I think. lol.
