I made this bag which I have dubbed “the Market bag” last week for my sister for her birthday. I hope she doesn’t read this before she gets it in the mail. Otherwise, Happy Birthday Big Sis!

It is rather large, 20″ wide x 24″ tall plus the straps that are long enough to wear over the shoulder. The band at the top and the straps are interfaced so they will hold there shape better.

It is fully lined, but no pockets. I went back and forth over adding pockets, but decided not to in the end. I wanted it to keep it simple and true to what I think it would work best for. A great bag to take to the farmers market, or the beach, just grab and go, or toss in a couple of essentials and head towards the door.

I added the flower because I think it was to plain without it. I love this style of flower. It is so easy to make. Check out Allison’s Tutorial!
