Lunch bag part 1 "Drawstring tote"

Today my kids forgot their lunches. So lucky me I got to

take them some food.

lucky for them I was in a super sewing mood!

Behold, "the drawstring lunch tote!"

I've been inspired lately by the cute Japanese lunch bags.

it's fun right?!

I'd like to say that I was able to take them

amazing lunches in these fun bags but alas, sigh....I didn't.

I did manage to finish them before they got home

though. Yessss, Score!

To make this tote you'll need:

* 1/4 yd fabric for the outside (I used corduroy)

* 1/4 yd coordinating fabric for the lining

* 1/8 yd fabric for straps

* natural twill tape or ribbon for drawstring

* 1 large safety pin

Follow the instructions on the pictures.

If my nonsensical wording doesn't make sense just email

me and I'll try to clarify.

Now I'm gonna warn you now, there are a lot of pictures.

So. many. pictures.

Okay, with right sides together, slip the lining over

the main body of the tote.

And don't you worry about those hungry

kids of mine....they just had to eat from an

old ugly bag that's all.
