The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.

Cut the interfacing into the shape of the pattern. And fuse the fusible fleece, centered, to the wrong side. Cut by adding 3/8” from the edge of the interfacing.

Place the two outer layers of the main fabric facing each other and sew both sides.

Place the inner pockets on the right side of the lining and sew.

Place the two linings of the main fabric facing each other and sew both sides.

Place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew top with an allowance of about 3/8″.

Turn right side out. Topstitch all the way around of the top of the bag entrance.

Place the zipper right sides together on top of the outer layer. Place the lining on top of the zip. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.

Open out, press pieces away from and top stitch on 1/8” away from the zipper.

Connect the zipper panel with the small fabric to form a single circle.

Do this by marking the quater of your main panel and the quater of your zipper panel.

Using your quater marks, start pining the zipper panel around the perimeter of your main panel. Sew with an allowance of about 1/4″.

Place the wrong sides together of the outer and lining of the bottom and sew.

Align the quarter points of the bottom with the main fabric and sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.

Apply a bias to the seam allowance.

Use the same process to sew the other bottom to the zipper panel.

Turn right side out. Topstitch all the way around of the edge. Make a handle and sew it to the cover.

Place the cover on the back of the bag and sew.

YOU ARE FINISHED!

Happy sewing!
