Trace pattern A on patterned fabric for the exterior top panel, cut 2 pieces for the front and back

Trace pattern A on fabric for interior, cut 2 pieces for the front and back

Trace pattern B on interfacing, cut 2 pieces for the front and back, mark the hinge marks (with uni-ball pen) on one of the interfacing piece 

Fuse the interfacing to the wrong side of assembled exterior fabric. Then press down the iron with slight pressure, lift and glide till all fabric is fused.

Pin the two exterior pieces with right sides together

Sew along the edge of the fleece, starting from one side of the hinge mark, around the side and bottom , ends at the other side of the hinge mark, backtacking at both ends. Now you will find that the top edges are open.

Fold each corner to create a triangle, make sure the side seam matches the bottom seam, draw
a 1 inch line perpendicular to the side seam, trim to ¼ inch or hand stitch the peak of the gusset
to the bottom of the bag.

Put the two interior pieces with right sides together, centered pattern B on one of the interior piece, transfer the pattern from one hinge marking and working around to the other, then sew the 2 interior pieces together.

Fold the corners to create gussets (same as with the exterior pieces)

Turn the interior right side out.

Place the interior inside the exterior and both of their right sides are facing together, line up the
edges and pin together

Sew around the top of the bag, leaving one side unstitched.

Pull the exterior out through the unstitched hole on the top, the bag is now right side out.

Topstitch around the top opening 1/8” from the edge.

Iron the bag to ease out any wrinkles.

Spread a thin line of the glue along the channel from one hinge to another, then allow the glue/adhesive to dry for a while.

Starting with one side of the frame by the hinge, push the fabric edge into the channel of the
frame, use the flat-head screwdriver to work the way around.

Repeat same steps for the other side of the frame channel.
Allow for 30 minutes for the glue to dry thoroughly.
