Mini Grocery Tote! Perfect For Your Shopping Buddies and Small Shopping Needs!

BY FAR my most popular YouTube tutorial is the grocery tote. It’s such a quick, simple sew. Perfect for beginners and those of us needing a sewing confidence boost. This time, we’ve reduced the size of the bag and added a couple extras to jazz it up. This is a great size for your shopping buddies. It’s also a perfect size for those small trips to grab makeups, medications, etc. I’m working with waterproof canvas again today, and it really helps keep the bag in an upright and easy to use position.
