I'm celebrating with my new Market Bag.....Happy Thanksgiving!!

I finished this market bag last night while watching the finale of Dancing With The Stars. Can I just add that my FAVORITE star won!! Yes, yes, yes. Donnie Osmond himself took the Mirror ball trophy!!!
















The pattern called for a short ruffle at the top of bag where the straps attached which I left off. Next time I might also use elastic in the casing where the side ties are and leave those off too. I might be fun to switch it up a bit. What do you think?

This is the side view - there is a little pocket on the front and the back at the bottom of the brown sections. (The front and back look the same).














I added some extra pockets inside too. The pattern only called for one 5" pocket inside....that would never do!!













LOVE those pockets!!


















Sorry that I can't share a tutuorial because I used this pattern & kit by Late Bloomer Quilts which you can find on line.

See you on Friday for the Friday Finishes (see button on the left) and for my "Keeping it Real" post. I have some GREAT pictures to share.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with your families!!
