This was a little project we took on so I could have a nice shopping bag to bring to the Farmers' Market on weekends or use to walk to our neighborhood Co-op, Mississippi Market. It's about the size of a grocery sack, maybe slightly larger, so it's perfect for the market.
It was actually a pretty easy project to make. There were no pattern pieces involved at all. It goes together rather like a small quilt that gets folded over. I used this adorable chicken fabric that I had and I thought it would look really cute on this bag. Then I just chose fabrics that matched. It's quilted in small diamonds, which I thought would look nice but also give it strength.
I like the bag a lot and it gets tons of use. If I ever make another one for myself, I think I will alter it somewhat so the straps are longer and able to cross the body, rather than just fit over the shoulders. I think I just might do that someday :)

How cute! I love this farmer's market bag you've made. It's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI also really like that paisley bag that you use as your purse!
