Fuse the fusible fleece, centered, to the wrong side. Fold the seam allowance 1/4″ in 4 sides and fold in half in the long sides.
Sew the 4 sides to make the handle.
Layer an outer layer face up, then the zipper face down along one edge, and then the lining face down. ew with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Open out, press pieces away from the zipper.
Use the same process to sew the zipper to the other side of the bag pieces.
