I'm with you on the too large saggy ones....yours looks about right. <br />I went to the gift bag site and lo and behold....I have several of her patterns already. Remember the "Happy Hooky" pillow I made? That was one of her free ones I think. She's a great designer.

But I wonder about that and would like to try it some day. I'd buy some, but part of my motivation in making these bags is to make a dent in my cotton stash.

I'm never thinking about Christmas this early, but for some reason it's on my mind... So I'd better take advantage of that while it lasts. :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-77862695798337932032018-07-15T15:44:35.375-04:002018-07-15T15:44:35.375-04:00I know!

It's an hour drive for me, and I'm not much drawn to the idea of having to walk through the whole store once I get inside (which is what everyone says about this store), but curiosity is going to get me there eventually. I'll have some hip bags to carry out my goodies.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-30435314064663922312018-07-15T15:35:11.106-04:002018-07-15T15:35:11.106-04:00Glad I could be of help.

Good idea on perfecting the market bag, I would really love one but the one I made once hung down below my knees when it was full, and that not only looked ridiculous but it was also almost impossible to carry the bag. I've kept it for Ikea shopping sprees, though. ;-) Ellahttp://www.stiehl-style.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-72433630074101013202018-07-15T14:26:51.744-04:002018-07-15T14:26:51.744-04:00Oh it’s so much better now!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with them. You are correct.......Christmas will be here before we know it.<br /><br />Your market bag looks pretty spot on for size and stretch. I have some nylon cord I am considering using to make my next market bag. It will never wear out! I made a couple of purses out of it and loved them.<br /><br />Have a lovely week.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.com
