While it may be hot outside this time of year, the cool and calming shades of The Beach Blossoms Market Bag will have you imagining you are dragging your feet through the wet sand, or enjoying the feeling of cool water lapping against your toes. While designed as a market bag, The Beach Blossoms works well as an everyday tote, or bag to take to the beach! It is designed to easily be made larger or smaller to fit your needs (especially when it comes to shopping!). While designed with Caron Cotton Cakes in mind, cotton yarns of all types and colours will accentuate the stitching and style of the bag.
