Yesterday I received my new market bag pattern from Sandi Henderson Designs — it’s darling and the photos and instructions in the pattern are well designed and very clear.   There are two bag designs in this pattern — a Straight Market Bag and a Gathered Market Bag — and both are equally cute. Sandi also has a wonderful blog — Portabellopixie.

I really think these bags are going to be even better than the earlier ones I made from the Vogue pattern. You can never have too many of these bags, can you?

This is the Market Bag Pattern

And here are the pieces of vintage bark cloth that I am going to use to make these bags
