Make a Beautiful Market Tote from a Panel

| January 12, 2026 | Quilted Bags
It’s Generously Sized for Busy Days!
Turn a fabric panel into a one-of-a-kind market tote. This bag will be striking made up in any 24″ x 42″ panel and is sure to be admired.
Accent the panel with a darker fabric for the bottom and handle, and let the panel shine. There are two handle options and an inside pocket for magazines and patterns.
Here are several examples to spark your creativity. Each one is beautiful and shows how the bag showcases full-sized panels.
The designer, J. Minnis, says the bag is large enough to tote your purse, shoes, lunch, and whatever else you need that day. It measures 14″ h x 20 1/2″ w x 6″ d.
