Answer
I focus on a few signature things when I’m 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.
Is there a specific style of market bag you’re thinking about—farmers market, everyday tote, or something more structured?
