What's for lunch?

Well, I had a quesadilla for lunch. I ate it on my couch, because I have the luxury of no classes on Fridays! But most days I am a lunch bag toting, apple sauce eating, Cherrio nibbling toddler.

Here's a lunch bag for days when you're bringing a light lunch along. It's not insulated, but it is washable and cute. Inspiration and measurements from here.

Materials:

•  About 1/2 a yard of sturdy-ish fabric
• Another fabric (scraps will do)
• Heat-n-Bond or another something for bonding two fabrics together
• Scissors
• Rolator cutter and mat
• Sewing machine, pins and what not
• Iron and Ironing board
• Button
• Ribbon

1. Cut two pieces of fabric 9 1/2" x 13".

2. Use the Heat-n-Bond to make some appliques to add to the front piece
 

 

3. Sew a hem at the top of each piece of fabric. I did 1/4" folded over twice.

4. Pin and sew the two pieces together, right sides together. Sew all the way around, except the top of course.

5. Fold the bag so that the two side seams are touching and the bottom forms a diamond. Sew a line about 2" from the end points.

6. Cute the points off near the seam.

7. Turn the bag right side out. Prettttyyyy...

The bottom looks like this:

8. To make the closure, sew a button about 3" from the top. Attach a ribbon in a loop on the opposite side at the top so that it will reach the button and close.

Now pack up your lunch. Om nom nom!
