Original caption

Turns out the Small Sandy Tote Liner fits the mini Trader Joe’s bag so well. 🤍 It adds structure, gives you a zippered top, and makes it so easy to move everything from one bag to another. If you’re making the pattern or ordering a finished liner specifically for your mini Trader Joe’s bag, you’ll want the Small size. The Sandy pattern also includes sizes for LL Bean Boat & Totes from Mini through XL, plus instructions for creating a custom fit for other totes. Who else is obsessed with these little bags? 🛒✨ #creatorsearchinsights #sewingaesthetic #beginnersewing #sewingtiktok #DIY
