I am a beginner quilter and I made six of those bags for my family members. If I would sell them I don't think that I could sell for less than $10-12 as material is quite expensive. Last week as I was traveling from Florida to Ohio I stopped at some shops and saw the bags selling anywhere from $17 to $24.

I took a dinner plate and drew a circle on a piece of tracing paper. Cut two cotton print and 2 muslin for lining and two cotton batting circles. On the top I put 1" cotton lace to dress it up. Put right sides together (print--muslin--batting) Sew around using 1/4" seam---leave an opening for turning. Do the bottom the same. When you have the two circles sewn now you put muslin sides together and sew half way around leaving an opening to insert a plate. Your done

Hi, I sell potato bags and charge $8.00 each. They have a fold over flap at the top and are about 12 x 9 1/2. I also have instructions and warning not attached. These are professionaly printed and are 50 cents each.
