10 the market tote and a bit of irony.

5.03.2010

The market tote.
Made with a little Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow and some lovely gray linen.
Lined with the same gray linen on the inside.
Perfect for carrying all our groceries home from the store so we can stop wasting all those plastic and paper bags.  Now I just need to make about 10 more of these in a little bigger size (this one is 12" high x 12" wide x 5" deep).
And now for the irony.  As I was sewing this together, my husband was bringing in a paper bag full of groceries from Trader Joes.  Naturally, the bag carrying a glass jar full of red sauce broke, spilling the sauce all over his truck floor and our garage.  A little bit ironic, don't you think?

  2. Holly this is adorable! Do you use a twin needle when you're topstitching? Did you use any interfacing or did you leave it out so the bag would collapse/fold up easily when not in use? I LOVE it :)
