Need help with sewing a bag

Hi everyone.

I'm not THAT new to sewing as I can saw simple projects on my machine (roll-up pencil cases, pillows, placemats) but this time I need help on where and how to start with sewing a custom bag. I have few questions so I will number them so they will be easier to ask and answer.

#1 I want a certain bag with certain dimensions (simply-ish rectangle) do I just take outer dimensions and add ~1cm seam?

#2 How do I create inside pockets? Is there any rule on how to do them or are they the same as outer ones?

#3 What can I use to make a bottom of the bag sturdy but machine washable?

#4 Do I need to have different dimensions for internal material?

#5 I need to make the bag "stick" to the boot of my car - is velcro enough?

#6 How can I reuse old jeans for that? What parts do i need to deconstruct, which ones to avoid sewing through and what can I use as is?

I have a rough sketch of what I need. I do design stuff for laser cutting so I understand how to make 3d shapes just need to know how to translate my desired outer dimensions into a workable project. I'm not good at hand sketching so sorry for bad sketch. You can ask if you don't understand it.

Any help will be very useful ❤️

P.S. bonus question #7 - i never sewn denim. Is there a special needle for that or just any strong one?

I got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. What now?

I am looking for any good resources for me and my husband on how to proceed. I cannot meet my psychologist any sooner than in 2 months but I got my diagnosis in the mail. I need help and direction but I'm scared od just looking on google because let's be real. Google will diagnose you with cancer because you have sore throat.

Please help.

I'm planning my own death in few days

Hello.

This is a very hard topic for me as it should be. I'm turned off emotionally so I don't need pity from anyone. I messed up my life. I was in bad place mentally for last few years. I tried to kill myself 3 times already but was unsuccessful. This time I won't fail. Through that time I messed up financially and have many debts. I can't fix them and if I won't me and my husband will lose everything. Flat, cars, everything... but if I die some of my debts will be forgiven. Then he can find this out and pay the rest. I don't have anyone to help me. If I don't find a lot of money till Monday I'm giving up. Why Monday? His birthday is on Sunday. He still doesn't know anything. He won't. We are planning his birthday.

Well... that's all.

Thank you for reading.

Do you print coloring pages? If so what would you like to see?

Do you print coloring pages? If so what would you like to see?

So Hi! Generally I'm a designer and am thinking of making some coloring pages (I won't say anything more since it's not supposed to be a self promo) and I would like to ask this community if you ever buy digital pages to color or print? If so then where and what theme? And if you don't buy digital then what theme/picture would you consider? I want to design some pages (I will definitely share some for free here if mods allow just for you) and need inspiration.

What themes/topics are lacking or what combinations would be cool but noone does them (cute and cozy gundam style robots is one idea I have). Any crazy idea is appreciated.

Bonus question for men/guys here since there are not many coloring pages/books dedicated to you what would you like to see? Any ideas would be appreciated (like cars with mandalas or cute and cozy style but with woodworking. Anything is fine)
