We cut fabric for the outer bag and lining to be 15"w x 30"l. If you are using batting cut it a bit larger than 15 x 30 and quilt the outside of the bag first and square it up and match the lining to the quilted rectangle. So many ways to make handles can be found on free online tote bag patterns. The flap is 3" x 5" and this size can be anything you like.
I did use the link below to learn how to make the zipper pocket. It has step by step photos for zipper pocket. I hope this helps you.

Thank you for this. I always knew there was a better way to make a tote and a shorter way and you have shown that way.
