Waste Free Lunch Bag is BACK!!!

August 1, 2012

I am so happy to finally bring back the waste free lunch bag.  It is fun to make with the center divider and great for packing lunch.  Both the girls wanted this style for the new school year coming up!  That must be good news, right?

WFLB title
The pattern includes 34 pictures that are bright and clear (old version had 4 pictures!) and it is 13 pages long.  There are no pattern pieces to print out since it is just rectangles, but there is a quick reference guide on the last page to help keep your fabric cutting in good order.  

All five lunch bags
It is roomier than my Love Your Lunch Box pattern but not quite as roomy as the Hobo Style Lunch Sak.  I am going to get smaller water bottles this year to free up some space for sure!  The girls only drink a little.  Any good recommendations for 8 or 10 ounce water bottles?  16 ounce is just too big for little girls!

Open lunch bag with lunch
I also changed the closure to a flap to create more room and because flaps are just cute, right?  The pattern is now available in the shop if you are ready to make one (or 5 like I did!).

Yellow Scrap Fabric Made into Hot pads!

 Awhile ago I created some yellow scrap fabric yardage and showed you all my method over on THIS youtube video.  At the time I wasn't sure what to do with that piece.  Maybe another pillow?  Make it larger to make a baby quilt?  I finally decided on a new set of hot...
