Anyway to sew this bag seam with a Machine?

OK these pictures should show things a little better....the first pic shows the bag style a more to the side

and this one more on to the gusset side. Note that the gusset from 1/2 way up can close up.

the gusset stiffener in pink cardboard shown next to its clicking knife would have be done originally with .6mm strawboard but now I would use 1mm heel grip felt as the stiffener. This would give a less defined ridge where it presses into the gusset edge. 

As I said earlier the bag outside pieces are stitched together first and by using the middle markers to line up with, the gusset stiffener is glued into place correctly. The knives are made with the checked in middle lines as shown in this picture

This is a picture showing all of the knives that go into the making of this little bag. The back and lid flap could be done as one but as this is for exotic leathers the smaller pieces are better to get the best feature pieces showing.

One of the inside in case that helps.

Very interesting.  Do you flip the bag to apply the stiffener or just put it in as is?  

Thanks again for sharing.

No after some glue is applied at the base inside I just curve the stiffener and push it down and in. The top folded edge is left until after the lining is put in and then starting at the front I have stitched across and around over the gusset over onto the lid flap and around and finished back at the front.

Your welcome .

Not a hope on the little structured bag I showed above but yes On the op bag it should be possible.
