How to sew a Market Tote Bag with Button Tab Closure

Hey y'all and welcome to Sewspire! I am here today to show you how to sew my version of The Market Tote Bag. For this project you will need approximately 3 yards of fabric, a 1.5" swivel key fob and an oversized fabric covered button kit, plus 3/4 yard of quilt batting. To begin, precut the following fabric panels: For the body, cut four 18" x 15" panels and two like size pieces of batting. For the exterior pockets, cut two 18" x 12" panels. For the handles, cut two 6" x 24" panels and two 3" x 20" strips of batting. For the interior pockets, cut two 9" x 18" panels. For the key fob, cut one 6" x 9" panel. For the button, cut one 3" x 3" panel. For the button tab closure, cut one 12" x 3" panel. I hope you enjoy the project and will share photos of your finished Market Tote with me on Facebook and Instagram using #sewspire and @sewspire. I will be back soon with another inspired sewing project. Until then, please know the creative genius in me will be celebrating the creative genius in you. XO, Andrea
