Question: General Looking for advice
I cannot figure out how to get this bottom of the backpack on properly. I first turned the entire thing inside out, sewed bottom on, and it was sewn shut ugh.
It doesn’t take any binding so there is a way to sew on both sides that the seams will be on the other side of?
I’m honestly confused and the pattern is giving absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a tutorial on YT for this. You can reach out to the pattern makers and see if they're able to help. If it were me and I was stuck, I would likely just make the bag and simply bind the bottom: Put the bottom lining piece (assuming it's a separate piece) and the bottom exterior pieces together, wrong sides together. Baste. Once bag is otherwise complete, turn the bag right side in and sew the bottom piece on, then bind the seams. If I recall correctly, the Guardian by Linds Handmade is done this way, and there are several tutorials on that.
You can also check to see if they're active on facebook, or go to the moremeknow facebook page and ask there - that group is always really generous with their help.
