Charming Market Bag

The Market Bag Quilt Pattern is a practical and enjoyable project that uses precut 5″ squares (charm packs) to create a 13″ tote-size bag. The pattern is designed with charm squares in mind so you’ll spend less time cutting and more time arranging fabrics.

Start by selecting a collection of coordinating or contrasting 5″ squares and a fabric for the bag’s liner and handles. Planning your layout first, deciding where each square will appear.

The size is compact and the units fairly large, so you can move through the sewing relatively quickly.

Finishing brings together the practical and decorative. After assembling the bag body and adding handles, press the seams for a crisp look, attach any topstitching or edge stitching for durability, and ensure the lining is secured neatly. The result is a handmade market-style tote that’s both functional and visually appealing, great for grocery runs, craft markets, or daily use. They also make great baby bags, a most welsome and functional gift.

The Market Bag pattern is svailable for purchase for a minimal fee. Make so many market bags each different with fabric arrangement, for gifts, a friend, and a few extra for yourself.
