What are the signature techniques Natasha Nicholes uses for making market bags?

Sturdy fabrics: I love denim, linen blends, and other heavier-weight fabrics so the bags can handle groceries and market hauls.

Fun linings: I pair the sturdy outer with a bold or “funky” lining so the inside is just as pretty as the outside.

Tried-and-true patterns: I often use designs from pattern makers like Michelle Patterns and I Think Sew, then tweak details (like handle length or adding zippers) to fit how people really use their bags.
