Hi!
Just to share my latest addition to our handmade life. “The lunch bag”. I love lunch bags. So practical and funny how much fun it can bring to lunch hours at school.
I made these two lunch bags last two weekends but I have just got the time to blog, so some may have already seen it popped in my Instagram a week back.
Anyway, one is for my DH and one for me. I took the inspiration spring to make mine as it is gorgeously spring here down under when I made these.
They are still prototype. I still don’t like a few things about them. Well for one, I think the closure could be better. Maybe not a fixed button instead a tie or something. I need to figure what could be best. Any ideas? Am planning to do a tutorial for these bags but have to figure out how to make the closure better. I don’t feel like this button closure is practical enough.
The lunch bag resemble the brown paper bag. I purposely make it like that. I love that it can open wide, fits a wide lunch box or bento box. However, I think a handle wouldn’t hurt.. it should make the bag easy to carry. Well, we’ll see.
I will try and put together a tutorial soon, so if you have and idea of how to make a closure for this bag, do drop your comment, I’d love to hear it!
Till then,
Have a lovely week!

Those are wonderful and your choice of fabrics is great.
Those are beautiful. I made some very similar to these from a tutorial online. They used a fabric tie to close them.

I use the paper bag model for my project sacks that I sell, and they are useful for all kinds of thing! (Just like a paper bag. I would suggest a strap closure – one that does around the bag send then clasps back on itsel. You could have a few clasps so it would adjust depending on how much lunch you were carrying!
These are great. I love the closures that use a fabric button and hair elastic – really simple and quick. A handle would be handy too. I think Michelle’s ideas are great.

A lunch bag is one of the projects on my very long list. I really like the look of these, they look like they will hold alot too..

I’m in love 🙂 Fun fabrics, cute design.
I love the simplicity of magnets or velcro, and to keep the shape maybe just a wristlets type strap?

such a great shape! I can’t think of any other way to make an adjustable closure. How about a wrist strap for the handle?
How about making the bag a little longer and make it a rolled closing with a button or a ribbon, etc?
Great bags! I’ve had paper bag style cloth lunch bags on my to-do list for quite some time. I plan to keep mine closed with velcro. Can add the strips so you roll the top portion down and it sticks to the front of the bag, or so the top opening is just sort of “pinched” closed at the top with the velcro strips on the inside of the bag. I like that velcro is easy to use and keeps the bag closed well.
