WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE DOUBLE ZIPPED FOLDABLE BAG 

Fabric
Laminated cotton fabric 
is what I use here. It is basically a cotton quilt weight fabric that has been coated with plastic/vinyl material thus making it water resistant. 
Alternative fabric choice : PUL fabric, lightweight rip-stop fabric, shower curtain, or any lightweight water resistant fabric.


Zippers

2x all purpose zippers or #3 zipper for the closures 

1 set of button snap (12 or 12.5 mm)
1/8" or 1/4" basting tape
to baste the zippers.

Tools
Basic sewing notions
Walking Foot 
Zipper Foot
Leather hole punch tool

This is another fun project using the oh so versatile jelly roll strips. The Jelly Glee tote is a charming slouch tote with quite wide base hence looking bucket-ish. To make the most of the patchwork fabric, I also include a cute matching zipper pouch that is perfect to put your cellphone, case, cards, etc.
click here to Watch the full video tutorial
Supplies 
4 Jelly roll strips (2 1/2" strips) 
3/4 yard main fabric
Fusible woven interfacing (I use Pellon shape flex 101) 
Fusible Fleece (I use thermolam Pellon TP971F) 
1 set of magnetic snap 
Nylon zipper (at least 7") - For the zipper pocket 
Nylon zipper at least 9" (for the pouch) 
Basic sewing notions

Cutting
Exterior Shell : See pictures below
Interfacing : Cut two 18 1/2" x 17" (fusible woven interfacing)
                       Cut two 18 1/2" x 16 1/2" (fusible fleece)
Lining : Cut two 18 1/2" x 17"
Slip Pockets : Cut two 10" x 7"
Zipper pocket : Cut two 10" x 9"

For the  zipper pouch 
Exterior main : measure 5" from the left over  jelly roll fabric and cut 2" (your fabric should measure 8 1/2" x 5")
Exterior accent strip : 8 1/2" x 1 1/2" (cut two)
Lining : 8 1/2" x 5" (cut two)


First thing first you will need to sew your Jelly roll strips together. I recommend to alternate the darker color from the lighter color, and of course you will need to sew them with 1/4" of seam allowance.
Picture
Picture
Measure 4 1/2" and cut, make 6x and you will end up with 6 rectangles measuring 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" 
Picture
For the accent fabric you will need to cut as shown below
Picture
Then lay out the patchwork of the front and back exterior shell.
Picture
Patchwork layout front exterior

Patchwork layout Back Exterior
Piece your patchwork with 1/4" of seam allowance, and once you've done that go ahead and continue with the rest of the bag construction as shown in thevideo tutorial.

Once your bag is finished, you may go ahead and sew the zipper pouch.

Japanese knot bag - Quilted version
This adorable Japanese knot bag will surely brighten up your day. Great for daily errands, coffee date, walk at the park, although this type of bag is pretty well known as the project bag.

The front exterior is made out of 14 pcs of charm packs (5" squares). Below is the diagram

I quilted this bag with left over quilt batting, and pretty pleased with the result, it gave enough body so my bag isn't too flimsy, yet still light weight to allow it to drape nicely.
