I made this tote bag a few weekends ago. I LOVE have much space it has. I did mine similar to this two toned market tote bag shown above. I download the PDF format and followed the instructions using my tablet.
Additionally, I used heavier fabrics to create a very sturdy bag that I would be confident would hold a ton of items while shopping. We were headed to an antique mall and watched a durable bag but with a simple design.
This large tote is perfect for beginners and the pattern has photo tutorials and a video tutorial. She shows a ton of photos including adding the lining pieces which we all know can be tricky at times. I added an interior pocket because I need a place for my keys and phone.

These are the perfect size bags when you are only picking up a few items at the grocery store. I use them all the time. I did a really fun outer fabric and a solid lining fabric. They turned out adorable.
Additionally, I added exterior pockets to my grocery shopping bags to put my receipts in. I love fabric bags because foldable reusable grocery bags are so easy to store.
Furthermore, the flat bottom of the tote bag pattern make loading them up with items at the grocery store easier.

So, if you’re looking to be eco-friendly while shopping, reusable bags are the way to go! This tote bag is super versatile; you can use it for groceries, trips to the farmer’s market, or just regular shopping.
Now, let’s be real, those bags you get at the store? Not always the prettiest or the sturdiest. But here’s the deal: making your own means you get to pick the fabric, and trust me, they’re way tougher than the ones you buy.
If you’re all about tossing your bags in the washing machine, go for cotton or a cotton blend. Personally, I used drapery fabric, but you’ve got options like canvas, denim, or nylon pack cloth. Oh, and if you’re using lighter fabric for the lining, make sure to back it with a medium weight fusible stabilizer to keep it sturdy.
Now, here’s a cool combo I’ve been digging lately: outdoor fabric with an oilcloth lining. You can’t toss these in the machine, but the outdoor fabric is water and stain resistant, and the oilcloth?
Totally waterproof and a breeze to wipe clean. Talk about durability and style, for your own reusable shopping bag.
Don’t forget to pins these to your favorite Pinterest board. We have all of the patterns on Pinterest.
By the way, heavy items are perfect for drapery fabric. Woven fabric-heaver weight are my favorite for shopping bag patterns.
