Go green with a market tote! And, the winner for January's bag.

Thank you to everyone who submitted votes for January 2011's bag!  The votes have been counted, and the winner is The Fourth Quarter Bag!  So get excited to make this bag in January!  Woop woop!

As some of you may know, Earth Day is April 22 each year.  2011 will be no exception!  For March's bag, I would like to make a market tote, so you'll be all ready to display it with pride when you go to the grocery store in April.  These also make great gifts.  I have found three bags for us to choose from for March.

The first bag is the Be Green Market Bag from Paradiso Designs:

I think it's pretty clear that if you want to make this bag you have to have a huge dog.  Just kidding!  That was hopefully my only lame joke for this post.  The dimensions of this bag are 10" long, 14" tall and 6" wide.

The second bag is the Eco Market Tote by Favorite Things:

This bag may or may not have an outside pocket (it's hard to tell from the picture, and it's amazing how non-descriptive some pattern descriptions are!), and the dimensions are 15" high, 18" wide, and 4.5" deep.

The third bag is the Chic Shopper's Tote from Bella Nonna Designs:

This bag has a smallish outside flap pocket, and the dimensions of the bag are 17" wide, and 16.5" tall with an 8.5" bottom.

You will have until Saturday, October 2 at noon to vote on March's bag.  Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to sewing with you! :)
