We bring you today a great free sewing pattern for a sturdy grocery bag featuring a watermelon design, so that you can go shopping for your fruit and veggies in a sustainable and fashionable style! This pattern is recommended for beginners, thus the lack of sewing skills will not prove a sufficient excuse this time for those of you who like it 😉 It has been created by Ariga Mahmoudlou, and features a really beautiful Robert Kaufman food fabric with red and green watermelon slices on a white background, plus a strong and vivid red fabric for support elements (bottom, side strips and handles). Inside, there is a marvelous mini checkered fabric in red and white.
The finished bag measures about 43cm x 52cm x 13cm. Many of you sewing enthusiasts are probably planning to add a small but very convenient inner pocket to the design, aren’t you? And maybe even planning to make several of these charming tote bags. They would be great gifts for friends, too! Robert Kaufman fabrics offer lots of cute designs you could use for this pattern: take a look at our suggestions below, and check our kawaii fabric shop for more!
