Market Bag!

I am finally getting around to using my FQ/scrap pack of home dec fabrics.  This is a resized version of the Market Bag from Film in the Fridge. I've had the fabrics cut out forever, and finally got to finishing it off. I cut two "front" panels of the orchid print, then two "side" panels of the yellow print, sewed them into a tube and pseudo-flat-felled/topstitched the seam allowances to make it smooth.  The seam allowances on the bottom are 1/2" instead of 1/4" and I'm not sure if that was what made the last two seams of sewing the bottom on different, but I figured out a way that worked for me (and kept the bottom of the bag square).

I really like the strap length (original length).  It makes it easy to sling the bag on your shoulder.

Fabric used: two prints from Joel Dewberry's Ginseng line, cream muslin for the lining
