I have looked for this for a while. Thank you, you made it look so easy!
I enjoyed watching you demonstrate how to make your handbag step-by-step you did an awesome job simple and easy just what I like you have an awesome blessed weekend thank you for the tutorial
Dear Vanessa I would like to thank you for this reusable market tote pattern. I made four totes using your instructions last March 2017. You are a very good teacher. The totes are very strong and I throw them in the washer and dryer all the time. I have had a lot of compliments from baggers at the grocery store. I especially like the way they fold into themselves and button. Thank you, Geri
I have scoured the Internet for the best shopping tote. I've tried many different ones and this is one of my favorites. Rosie and David have one I like because of the folding bottom, the lady whose YT channel is called A Square Pillow Isn't Square has my other favorite. All three have excellent features. If I had a serger I would include Christine's Home Affairs in my list of favorites.
Refreshing to see a young woman teaching techniques I learned as a young woman. We got to get these girls back to doing these kinds of fun activities and pass on a legacy.
I just made this. Thank you. It was easy,loved your directions. My bag is ready for groceries
This is a great pattern and tutorial! Making many as gifts! Wish I could find more by this genius!
Super tutorial....I’m a beginner,and your tutorial has given me the confidence to try and make this bag....thank you x
Vanessa, Vanessa, thank you for this video for the reusable market tote! I have a large amount of drapery fabric in my trunk that was given to me and I was telling myself yesterday that I need to make market totes with it! Can you believe what I saw this morning? Your video! Thanks again. (At work now but will post my results ASAP)
Jeddah Nahla Awesome! Glad to help! Can't wait to see them!
Dear Vanessa, something came up today about those manual folders for sewing hem glad to find it today. 🙏
This was great and I love that iron I have ever seen one like that.
Great idea! I volunteer at my church for the '"Gowns of Love" and we rip up donated wedding dresses to make into gowns, satchels, blankets and hearts for the hospitals to give to the parents. The wedding dresses are very heavy and the bags need to be sturdy. These bags are easy to make, sturdy and can be a lot cheaper than buying one! As always your talents are never ending!!!
Vanessa you are a very good instructor, and your confidence, speed and straightforward explanations make it easy to understand how to make your wonderful projects. Thank you!
I just made my first tote and machine embroidered on the front. It was super easy as are all your videos. Thanks again.
Thank you for teaching me a new way to create a bag. Your bag was beautifully sewn. 🙏💐
Vanessa it was a joy to see you at Mt. Dora this morning. this simple bag is wonderful.and is ideal for gifts. Thanks you sooo much for showing us how to make this cutie bag. .
Thank you Vanessa for this great tutorial, you make Wednesday's awesome!!! I will be creating these bags (by the dozen - as you would say) for grocery shopping, gift bags & for my kiddos to tote their books, toys, etc. in! Sizes galore! Your videos are so easy to follow and I've found all of your videos so very helpful! My favorite part of this video was learning about the French seams!
Thank you so much for your instructions on making the bag. You really have to be the best instructor I have come across. Thank you, from Australia. Ann
Thank you very much for the videos Vanessa. You have given me so much confidence to do projects. I love doing rework and applique, but could never make them into anything. Now I can, and it is all thanks to you. Because you are so good at tutoring, and your measurements and explanations are brilliant, I am never being set up to fail. Thanks a zillion. All Good Wishes from Blackpool, UK.
DEFINITELY a project I will do. I could see giving my family members a few of these for the trunk container I gave them last year. They'll always have ags when they need them. GREAT idea! Thanks :)
Mc Kenna Glad to help! Happy sewing!
I have to say that this looked really easy and it is, I did it last night and it was easy and quick, no problem! Love it, will be doing more
Another great tutorial. So easy to follow. Thank you so much, Crafty Gemini!!!
Now how did I miss this tutorial before? It came up in the sidebar today. Perfect timing!
Love, love, love this project! Super easy and fun to make. Thank you, Vanessa. I'm working on my fourth bag. Gave one to a friend, and she immediately "ordered" two more. While figuring out ways to minimize the cost of project supplies, I've been using fabric scraps in place of the interfacing in the middle of the bag. I am a notorious saver of usable fabric scraps - I just throw them into a large basket. I sew in the 5 x 16 inch scrap per Vanessa's directions. It's another way I reduce-reuse-recycle.
We have the same 🎉Birthday and I just finished my first bag with foam thank you for sharing
I love your videos. They are so well done and great for the novice (me).
That fabric is gorgeous. Really cool tutorial. 👍
I really like this tutorial. I've cranked out four already. Thanks Vanessa. Keep on crafting and sharing with us : )
Cassie Conner. This is the best pattern I saw I looked for day for a pattern. I LOVE IT
Attempted this project and it came out so amazing!!!! Thank you. Your instructions were/are spot on. Can't wait to make another.
Angela Clayton is a fashion designer VANESSA is humble and is super creative and talented with all her creations from bags to quilting to kids garments and so on and VANESSA shares every bit of her knowledge and talent. So Angela and VANESSA have two different talents. Thanks Vanessa for sharing and caring. 👍👍👍💕
Love your videos. I appreciate how well made your videos are and easy to follow instructions. Can't wait to see what new things you have for us in 2017.
This is my favorite market bag tutorial I have seen. Thanks! And I love your material choice.
cute bag! suggestion, instead of white elastic - you can use a colored ponytail elastic, already about the right size. With all the colors in this bag ~ you are sure to find one to coordinate. Just zigzag over the tie to secure it.
This is an excellent idea!
I love all of your tutorials! I’ve made many of your Burrito pillowcases!
That was an awesome video. I've been looking for a fun, simple grocery tote and finally found one that I like! Thank you! 👍👍🛍️🛒
I'm a newbie when it comes to sewing and I've never heard of french seams before. That's just genius. Can't wait to try the technique.
Great tutorial! I made one out of burlap today. For the handles I had the ribbon on the outside. The bag was used for a gift bag so I stenciled the recipients initial on the front of the bag, she loved it!
Vanessa, I turn the box pleats on the bottom toward the middle and top stitch them again to secure them better. Like you, I don't trim them off.
I am going to make this tonight, Today's weather is perfect for staying in and being creative.
My first tote bag and I followed you all the way from beginning to end.....It was easy
Great project for a quick gift to anyone on the list. Super crisp clean construction and handy way to fold and store for the quick / ready to use. Makes for a super useable gift for any senior citizen. Folks love carry-all bags that are comfortable to hold, control and get the job done. Tons of usages: Grocery / Post Office / Over Night Travel / Bible Study at Church / Bingo Nights / Walks in the Park and the list goes on. Pet owners would love this bag too...especially made with pet themed materials...for when walking their dogs...carry water / bowl / treats / play toys / leash / wipes and "scooper" tool and baggies as well.
Thanks Vanessa....I will be making myself one for use on my treks to the Post Office but a bit larger for what I repeatedly carry when I go.

Use dental floss on the button to keep it from coming off. It works great. I use it when I make a coat. You can color the floss with a marker. Roxie
congratulations on all your success vanessa! yr tutorials are so helpful and you explain every detail so clearly
That bag with the French seems is AWSOME 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I've been hoping for a bag tutorial!!! I love this - I'll definitely be making these instead of buying gift bags!
Loved this tutorial. Thank you!
Dozens for sure, I don't know why I haven't seen this before. I have watched (I thought) all of your older stuff. You are an excellent teacher when it come to making it simple and understandable. Although you skip doing all the steps to completion you show us a little of each step not just say "do this or that". Some people really are visual and you explain without any doubt as to what to do next.
Fast pace, but great finished products. Thank you Vanessa. Teres.
What a great video! I am a beginner sewer and feel like this wasn't super complicated so I am excited to give this a try :)
Definitely trying it !! You are a great teacher
Awesome and super easy to follow video as always! You're so great to follow and so inspirational. 😊
Great job. And you teamed up with another one of my fave's. Missouri Star Quilts. What a team.
I just finished making my fifth bag. Here's what I did on my fifth bag that made the LENGTH OF ELASTIC NEEDED a little easier for me to determine. I sewed the button on first! Then I folded the bag according to instructions and held the looped piece of 5 inch elastic in place then looped it around the button. Once I figured out the length needed I sewed it in place. This worked perfectly for me. Also, I bought a 1/2 inch bias tape maker for about $8 and made a coordinating strip running the length of the handles. These bags are too flippin' fun to make! Thank you, Vanessa.
I used cotton belting instead of making straps with fabric. The belting is more durable and way easier than cutting and sewing ribbon to the straps. Good tip about attaching the button first.
Looks like a sturdy, simple bag that even this old dude can make. I need some tote bags to take stuff from the house to the camper because Walmart bags look so tacky. Thanks for putting this up.
The use of the ribbon is a great idea! Using totes is excellent for the environment and you don't have to worry about them breaking😉
Tina Johnson Yes! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
I love, love, love your videos! I just some really cute reversible cotton to make this bag. This will be the 3rd project of yours, I have made. Your instructions are always clear, concise and informative. I am a new sewer, but I have learned a lot watching your videos, and I am hoping you will teach a craftsy class soon!
Thank you, you explained great, makes it easy to follow !
Love this bag. Definitely going to try to make some of my own. I can't believe that now we get charged 10 cents a grocery bag here in California.
I enjoyed this video and the idea using the ribbon on the straps!
I enjoy your tutorials so much! You have been such an inspiration to me in the last 2 years since I've started sewing. Thank you so much!
Tote fabric too terrific to fold up. I like the idea of hanging it on a hook and grab and go. Great tutorial.
I am going to be making these cute bags for all the ladies in my family for Christmas. Thank you
VERY creative person.... what a way to use ur time creatively..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!! :-)
Great directions for the French seams. Lovely bag. Thanks!
Love this bag, easy to do, you have great tutorials Vanessa, I love the way this bag is finished inside, never thought to do my seams like that, and I have been sewing for years, thanks.
Great video and very simple steps to follow. Now that Walmart is charging for bags I will making plenty of them Thanks again for the great video
👏 I was impress!👏
I play in to make several for grocery shopping, this is a easy peasy pattern for me thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial will definitely make lots of them, thanks Vanessa !
Summer Sun Glad to hear it!
I have watched so many tutorials. Your voice is so easy to listen to. And you don't repeat, repeat, repeat..... Good on ya, mate. I'll share your site. best of luck to you!
That's aweome Vanessa, you are awesome.... You go on Creating...... Great inspiration
Really nice job Vanessa!!!! I will be making lots of these great bags 😘. Thanks for another great tutorial.
Made one. Awesome tutorial ❤️
Thank you, great video, it's a lovely bag, and I enjoyed the way you teach. I also like the idea lady before me suggested, about a brightly coloured hair elastic.
Cute bag! I try to salvage all my material, if possible of course. With that said, insteard of cutting 2-2 1/2" from salvage edge, I would move my fold so I could cut on the edge of the salvage the top piece and have about a 3-4" strip (bottom piece) that i can use for another project. Love the video
Thank you 💝 I learned new way to finish tote bags French seems I hope I'm saying right love this technique
Love it! I wish I had more time to spend on my hobbies. But work keeps getting in the way!
I just found your channel last evening and so glad that I did! I’m really thinking of making some of these to use as gift bags that will serve the shoppers in the family. Thanks so much for the easy to understand tutorial!
After I watch your videos I feel great!!! Once I start to see and I make a mistake...dang...but seriously girl, you are amazing!!!
Awesome video Vanessa. Love this bag and I can so see me making a few of these.
I'm having trouble streaming this - and did for the reversible headband. Am I the only one? I love that you are joining forces with MSQC. I've made several of your creations (fabric boxes and bowls) and love Jenny's videos! My favourites in one place!
Will be making these for Christmas gifts for my co-workers.....Great Video love it, Thanks
It would be a great idea for MSQC to put a little separate page where all the things are on one page on their site to purchase things you have used! Another great tutorial CG! !
Minerva Hage They do have one! lol. You can check it out here: land.craftygeminicreates.com/reusable-market-tote/?
Made these for Christmas presents. Turned out great! Thanks.
Love it! I'll be making some of these! Monogram them for gifts. Thanks a bunch. 👍🏼
Hola Vanessa! Gracias por este excelente tutorial! Ya sé qué le regalaré a mis amigas esta navidad. Recibe un fuerte abrazo y que sigas cosechando éxitos.
I loved this tutorial, and am away to make a few for little hostess gifts!! Thanks again Vanessa x
You really do a good job explaining everything! Now I know how to make French seams My bag came out okay-I put my straps on backwards (don't tell anyone! ). I'll do better next time. Thanks Vanessa!
Thanks for another great tutorial! I really appreciate your amazingly clear instructions. This is a project that is useful when completed and it's satisfying that it can be accomplished in a short time.
+Helen Louise you are so welcome! I LOVE using my Market Tote :)

You make me LOOK so good you help me with Christmas all the time THANK YOU THANK YOU..U gave me enough courage to speed up my machine a little LOLOLOL!!
Adorable .... love it ... gonna make tomorrow ... thanks Vanessa
Thanks Vanessa love the pattern can't wait to try it. We use reusable bags from the store but they don't last long and are expensive. I have canvas I bought for a different project but never made will have to break it out and make a bunch of these
Love the Tote and especially that if folds up to a little package and you don't have loose bags all over the car. Only request is if you made of list of the supplies and quantity of each. Would be easier to just print out supplies. Love that you are linked to MSQC. Thanks
Superbly taught. You are very good teacher. Thanks for sharing.
Aweee your videos are spoon feeding ..love the way you teach
Love this tutorial and the video is very very clear. Way to go Vanessa
Absolutely love this 💖💖💖. I just finished making 3 of these. They are so beautiful. Wish I could show you. The 2 tabs at the bottom which we are not cutting off I hot glued them flat.
I was just looking for a tote pattern for some ugly quilt fabric my mother gave me. I shared this on my blog for Earth Day. Thanks
Your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thanks so much
I just made one. How cool. I am going to make another one. They are going to be little prizes for an event this weekend.
