The Market Tote was developed as a beginner sewing class at our shop in Denver, and this classic tote can now be seen at many a farmer's market around town! This tote is the perfect venue to showcase beautiful, large scale prints from your favorite modern fabric designers. This easily constructed tote pattern is a great introduction to bag making for beginner sewists, and a quick, rewarding project for more advanced stitchers! It is roomy and perfect for bringing home all your market finds.
