The EASIEST Grocery Store Tote

This is super fast to sew together, extremely beginner friendly, incredibly durable and SO PRETTY.

The tutorial is by Purl Soho.  They provide great step-by-step instructions and photos to make this wonderful bag. (For a price)

I tweaked it just a little, changing the measurements to allow for a 2-toned bag, and combining bits of each of their 3 methods to make a lined, boxed bottom bag. 

I hope you enjoy the tutorial! Make yourself and everyone you know one of these to replace their boring plastic grocery bags.

Dimensions to create exterior panel:

  • 1 bottom fabric (canvas) : 18" x 24.5"
