Claim:
1. A process for fabricating a multi-layered fabric product comprising: (a) providing fabric pattern panels of at least an outer shell fabric, a barrier layer and an adhesive interposed between the outer shell fabric and the barrier layer, the outer shell fabric and the barrier layer provided as separate fabric pattern panels, the barrier layer comprising one of a moisture barrier and an insulation barrier; (b) aligning each barrier layer fabric pattern panel to a corresponding one or more outer shell fabric pattern panels to form a plurality of composite fabric pattern panels; (c) fusing each of the composite fabric pattern panels together, leaving an area about a perimeter of each composite fabric pattern panel unfused; (d) forming at least one seam between the outer shell fabric pattern panels of adjacent composite fabric pattern panels along the area left unfused; (e) folding one or more of the unfused areas of the barrier layer and the adhesive back so that the one or more unfused areas of the barrier layer and the adhesive overlap; (f) fusing a plurality of the composite fabric pattern panels of the fabric product together to form a continuous barrier extending across an inner surface of the outer shell fabric and the at least one seam between the outer shell fabric pattern panels.
