The Fat Quarter Reusable Grocery Bag is a practical, lightweight, and eco-friendly sewing project that’s perfect for anyone looking to reduce their use of plastic bags while adding a handmade touch to their daily errands. Made from just a couple of fat quarters, this clever bag isn’t fully lined, which keeps it light and easy to fold, but it’s built to last thanks to durable French seams that reinforce the construction—strong enough to hold heavy loads like two full gallons of milk without breaking a sweat. One of the standout features is the small piece of elastic sewn at the bottom, which allows the bag to be easily rolled up and secured into a compact bundle that fits neatly into a purse, backpack, or diaper bag—making it ideal for spontaneous store runs or any time you need an extra bag on hand. Whether you’re headed to the grocery store, dropping off packages at the post office, or picking up a stack of books from the library, this reusable bag offers just the right size and strength for everyday use. Plus, with the variety of fun prints available in fat quarters, you can personalize your bag to suit your style or make multiples for thoughtful, practical gifts. Easy to sew and endlessly useful, this free pattern is a must-try for beginners and experienced sewists alike who want to make a small change with a big impact on reducing waste.
