We LOVE these Christmas tea towels I created with last year’s CHRISTMAS STITCHED collection and wasn’t quite ready to be done with using them in creative ways.

So we whipped up some simple SHOPPING BAGS with (2) towels and (2) coordinating fabrics. Even if you are not a seasoned bag maker, you can do this one... I promise. No quilting or special techniques needed at all.

We were inspired by some darling patchwork bags that Shabby Fabrics, a favorite online quit shop, made last year for Christmas and we wanted our shopping bag to have a similar, coordinating feel to those patchwork bags they created last year.

These bags are large and roomy shopping bags and will fit all kinds of holiday shopping.

Each bag is app. 17” across x 19” high plus the side and bottom gussets for a really lovely size perfect for an afternoon of holiday adventuring.

Each kit comes with (2) CHRISTMAS STITCHED tea towels, lining fabric and gusset/handle fabric. Kit includes simple instructions on how to make this lined bag.
