Does this look like a grocery bag to you? I fell in love with this Heather Bailey Folding Tote pattern the minute Chris showed it to me. I left the
Attic Window Quilt Shop that day with pattern in hand and a song in my heart. I had to make some of these.
I made this first one in an afternoon from fabric I had at home. Check out that big pocket on the side!
It is lined too! The above picture shows you the lining I used.
And once it is all done you just fold it up into a little pouch.
So, the next day I ran up to the
Attic Window Quilt Shop and purchased some of the new fabrics.
Since I was going to be at Happy Scrappers the next day, I waited and made this Tote while there.
Isn't this fabric beautiful!
Above you can see the lining I used.
This tuck-away shopping system would make wonderful Christmas gifts. The pattern also includes a Tote Sash (for strapping multi totes together) and a pouch or wallet (great for those coupons). Can't you just see it folded into it's pouch sitting in a loved one's car, ready to be grabbed just before running into the market? Give the shop a call and place your order for this wonderful pattern (I say place your order, because I bet there are no patterns left because I've been telling everyone about it).

Love theses! Gonna look for the pattern today.
Great idea Caroll. Especially since California just passed a new law against the use of single use plastic bags...unless you want to pay 10cents for each one you get. I have to take reuseable bags to the grocery store now. The free totes that the bank hands out are not great quality and won't last long. I do love how this one folds up.
