This easy bag sewing pattern is a simple bag PDF pattern tutorial on how to make a boxed market bag with outside pockets, a flat bottom and shoulder handles... using only four pieces of fabric!
Be on the lookout for your link once you've hit "pay". Then download, print and sew!
The market bag is very versatile. Use it as a market or grocery bag, beach or swimming pool tote bag, knitting or sewing bag, book bag or even a handbag. It has 7 different sizes pockets on the outside (2 in front, 3 at back and 1 on either side). And the handles are long enough to comfortably go over one's shoulder.
The boxed market bag is unlined, with no inside pockets and a removable inside board. That makes it easy to remove it at any time, wipe off any spill and toss the tote into the wash!
You can use denim, linen, cotton or canvas fabric for this tote bag.
