I've made over a dozen Jelly Bag (by Bunny Hill) totes. I've made them all out of batiks and/or 100% cotton quilting fabrics. I use Pellon craft bond fusible. I have found that after I use the fusible it holds best if I also stitch down the fusible. On the tote lining I usually sew around all 4 sides and an X from corner to corner, before I sew in the pockets.
