Vinyl Mesh Market Bag Pattern

The Vinyl Mesh Market Bag Pattern by Cut Loose Press is a fast, functional sewing project designed for modern, everyday living.
Created specifically for use with vinyl mesh fabric, this roomy tote is lightweight, durable, and completely washable — making it a practical favourite you’ll reach for again and again.
Perfect for grocery shopping, beach trips, pool days, or market runs, this bag allows sand, water, and crumbs to fall straight through while still offering plenty of strength and structure.
The open mesh design makes it breathable and easy to clean, while the generous size ensures it can carry everything from fresh produce to towels and toys.
With clear, step-by-step instructions, this pattern is approachable for confident beginners and still satisfying for experienced sewists looking for a quick, useful make.
It’s an excellent project for experimenting with colour, contrast bindings, or fun strap choices — and once you’ve made one, you’ll likely be asked to make more.
