Sandi Henderson Market Bag


Lining on inside

My first attempt at the gathered version of this bag. It is also my first attempt at creating and using piping and inserting a magnetic snap. I don't know why I was worried about piping and snaps as they are very easy and there are lots of tutorials on the internet to help. This is a roomy bag and fully lined - also meeting Carolyn's challenge of the month - to make something lined. Despite the pattern missing a step in the instructions it is an easy-sew. The fabric is from Sewco. When I first saw this version I didn't really like it but now I have seen it sewn up I quite like this version of the bag.

Adorable!  I want to make this bag for my nieces.  They are in high school.  I think it would be so cute with the right fabric!

Thanks Cookie.  It is a very roomy bag (great for lots of stuff!) and great for all ages I think.
