From Purl Soho:

Fold-Up Market Tote (Free)

Reusable shopping bags are so much better than paper or plastic: They’re more ergonomic, better for the environment, neater to store, and they’re way cuter!

Our Fold-Up Market Tote checks off all these boxes, plus they are super fun to sew. They are cleverly put together with only two pieces of fabric, four totally self-encased seams, and a nice cotton ribbon to tie the whole thing up.

Making a trio requires only a few materials: some thread, cotton ribbon, and three of Purl Soho’s beautiful linen fabrics: Linen Grid, Watercolor Linen, and Handkerchief Linen, making them strong, pretty, and ready for action! -Molly

  • 1 yard of ¼" cotton ribbon
