Molly's Sketchbook: Back to School Lunch Bag
School is starting and that means lots of new things: a new teacher, new clothes, and new school supplies. We thought we'd add to all the excitement by making a new re-usable, totally washable lunch bag! When I was little my dad made my lunch every day and I loved looking in my brown paper sack to reveal what was on the menu. I think I would have loved it even more if I had had this great bag.
This lunch bag is so easy to make and so easy to customize. I used the the cute Clover "kitchen" iron-on embroidery pattern to embellish it and a classic looking Fab orange button to finish it off. But if your little lunch eater likes unicorns or dogs or monkeys you could make one especially for them just as easily using our iron-on embroidery patterns from Sublime Stitching. The bag is made out of a durable Amy Butler Decorator Solid, it's so easy to work with, it irons very flat, and has a lovely feel.
If you'd like to make one of your own please visit my Back to School Lunch Bag Journal. Thanks!-- Molly

I think it's a great idea...perhaps I'll try making one for our little lady.
Thanks for sharing!

That lunch bag is adorable. I found your first comment a bit conflicting. Let's keep the reuse theme and apply it to reused school supplies from last year if in good condition. Also with clothes from hand me downs or gently used consignment shops.
