Let's Do Lunch!

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!

...and yes, we carry the waterproof knit - one stop shopping!
