Heart of Mary shows how to make this Fold And Zip Shopping Bag. It zips up small for storage, but unzip and unfold and you’ve got a full-size shopping bag. Now you can always keep a reusable tote bag handy! The tutorial is provided in a eBook, available from Heart of Mary’s Etsy shop for $4.00.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Bummer this tutorial is no longer available . . . unless you purchase it.
Hello, You must have overlooked it but this tutorial was removed as a free download a long time ago. It is available as an eBook on Etsy. Sorry if I confused you.
Thanks for the update! I’ve edited the post to link to your Etsy shop.
