This bag is the medium Grocery Bag but made with the body divided into two fabrics. The cat fabric is from a collection called Katie's Cats and the handles and fabric at the bottom are a light weight dark blue denim.
This bag was meant to be a project tote for knitters so it has two pocket panels spanning the width of the lining. There is stitching dividing the pocket panels into some smaller sections. This bag turned out super nice! It's weighty, sturdy, cute, colorful, and it has cats.

A few samples will pop up here in the next couple days and here is the first one now...an Extra Large Grocery Bag.
This bag is made from green twill. The color is a very dark green called Moss by the manufacturer. I'd also describe it as army green, olive green, avocado green, or khaki green.
It's the XL size, which is a mod for the Grocery Bag pattern. Twill is perfect for the XL bag mod because these lined bags can get heavy--especially in this size.
The lining is a black and pink floral fabric.
Sold - Thanks!

Last of the sample sale bags! This time there are two available.
These are Grocery Bags made from a 10 ounce dark blue cotton denim. They are very sturdy bag thanks to the medium weight denim. I have a few like these and they are my go to for canned goods, glass jars, and other heavy stuff.
They are lined in an OOP print called Blue Crush from Dear Stella.
They are the large size in the pattern.
The topstitching is a heavy, heavy polyester thread called Jeans Stitch (YLI). I used to stock this thread and might again in 2023 (if I can find it). It's pretty amazing on denim and it's also great for faux Kantha stitching, visible mending, or Sashiko. It's like a cotton Sashiko thread but the polyester makes it much more durable.

The next sample is a medium Grocery Bag made from an OOP floral fabric from the Tokyo Dreams collection by August Wren for Dear Stella and striped denim. This one was made using the divided bag mod.
It's lined in a pink pin dot quilting cotton that is backed with muslin. Thanks to the weighty denim (10 ounce) and the extra interlining, this is a sturdy little bag!
