Rag quilt shopping bag

 My community museum was doing workshops, and they advertised a rag quilt bag class. I could not attend, but asked if I could get a kit to try it at home. Luckily, there were a few materials left over from the class, and I got them! I used this opportunity to not only make a rag quilt bag, but make it reversible and embroidered too. It is important when learning a new craft to make it even more complicated. Go big or go home. 

Laying out the fabric squares and making a plan.



A lot of the squares are from my mom's fabric box. One square is from a co-worker that gave me some of her fabric. The ragging is quite interesting and I recommend you try it for a different look and feel.


The bag straps were just laying round and were perfect for this project.


Here is the reversible side, without the rag part.


The finished bag:


Just love it!
