Yesterday, I made this Jane Market Bag. I tweaked it just a little bit. I cut the corners out at 3" rather than the 4" so my bag is a little taller and a little narrower. I have to say that this is the second one of these that I have put together. The first one was made from quilting cotton and I found that it was too floppy and not substantial enough. Enter bag number two. I picked up this fabric at the thrift store on the weekend. Many metres of this heavy decor weight stuff. Sort of a cross between a canvas and a denim. I have no idea what you call it. The pockets are made from some upholstery samples. Also thrift store. The samples were not quite big enough so I added a bit to the top of the pocket. So classy. The bag is lined with a cotton from my stash that picks up the pinky colours of the main fabric. Jane Market Bag. Super strong. Very green. That is to say... recycled/upcycled fabric for a reusable shopping bag. Yep. Green. Very green. I believe this the first of many of these to come. Do you have this pattern? I think it is a classic must have pattern. Just saying.
The bag is really cute. I want to be green and use cloth bags, but I forget them at home or leave them in the car. The photo of the flower is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour, love the bag :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the bag too - and that flower- is it a passionfruit?
ReplyDeleteI love bags, love that you re-purposed fabric, and love the gorgeous flowers in the 2nd pic. You failed to show us a pic of the inside, showing the fabric you used for the lining!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful bag. A gal can never have too many. Especially when they look that good.
