At step #4, I marked the thirds but then found it easiest just sew down the entire length of each side. I used the 1/3 markings to box out the corners, though.

I left off the handle, and used quilting cotton with some weft interfacing. I might use fusible fleece interfacing for the next one I make, since this one collapses very easily.
