Molly's Sketchbook: The Un-Paper Bag

I find myself bringing home the paper shopping bags we use at Purl and Purl Patchwork all the time, using and reusing them to bring my lunch, haul knitting projects, and store fabric.

Looking at one such beaten up bag I realized how easy it would be to make a similarly convenient tote out of fabric, especially using our new Olympus handbag handles. It is so much less wasteful and infinitely more attractive!

If you want to make one too you can find the free pattern at The Un-Paper Bag Project Journal.  --Molly

What a great bag! I can't wait to stitch one up. We've got a new market in town that is fantastic, full of all the freshest food. Standing in line the other day I said to myself, "I need some kind of market bag to carry all my fresh produce." And so, your bag appeared, as if on cue. Thanks so much!
