A Market Wallet

With the yard of plain hand woven linen I had from the end of my blanket I made a 18th century market wallet.  Market wallets are a big rectangle sack with a slit in the middle creating two pouches on either side. I have been using this simple sack at reenactments and at work to hide all non-period items.

I used the bag in the most proper way possible when I visited the Stone Barns farmer's market in Tarrytown before work.  They have gorgeous gardens !

I marked the bag with my initials so that it is not confused with any other market wallets I run into.  

Thanks Emily for taking pictures and artfully decorating my hat !
