As far as we remember here at QBTB, lunch was a big deal...it was definitely a social time in the day...
Today's project is a quick and easy lunch bag pattern! Another great project for the kids/grandkids to get involved in. This is also a "green" project in that instead of lots of paper bags you can consistently use this one lunch bag. ...you could even make a few for the kids so they can change it up at lunch! Another great idea...applique or embroider their initials to add that special touch.

We really like this Metro Blue line for the lunch bag - would make the bag crisp and modern. There are so many fabrics to pick from - this week alone showcased incredible fabrics from Girl Scout fabric to Odyssea and Santorini. The boys can also have a lunch bag - remember the football fabric? ...and we have Boy Scout fabric, too. Look under our "Blending" fabrics and you will see several blue options that are understated.
Details on the Pattern:
Lunch bag 7” wide x 11” tall x 4” deep
Snack Bags 4” x 6” and 6 1/2” x 6 1/2”
Napkin 15” square
Yardage for 1 lunch bag, 2 snack bags, and 1 napkin.
Choose fabric with 42” usable width.
Main fabric 1/2 yard
Accent fabric 1/3 yard
Trim fabric 1/8 yard
PUL (lining) 1/2 yard
Velcro 3/8” or 14”-one inch wide
Not sure that the napkin will be wise to bring to school as you may end up with too much laundry - but for those special lunch days it would be lovely!

My very first lunchbox- a metal Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox. I wish I still had that one. :)
Nope, never had a quilted lunch bag. First lunch box i remember was metal, shaped like a school bus with Mickey and friends "inside".
I really like this pattern and I am going to try one for my girls and grandchildren and maybe one for me, too.
The lunchbox I remember was metal and had Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, Tweety Bird and Sylvester, and that rooster that I can't remember his name at all.
I remember opening the top and trying to guess what my mom had put in it that day...was usually a sandwich wrapped in wax paper with milk in the thermos and a napkin and some fruit; and sometimes my mom would put soup in the thermos and crackers and fruit and 5 cents to buy milk at school...such good memories...
But never a quilted one and I really that idea.
My first lunchbox was a Looney Toons lunchbox. Sometimes my younger sister and I would switch lunchboxes and I would use her princess lunchbox. I remember that I would take a slip of paper, and write a riddle on it, and put it in my lunchbox. After I finished my lunch, I would read the riddle that I had placed in my lunchbox. All of the "cool" kids would have a slip of paper with a riddle written on the paper.
Roy Rogers!
