I’m finally getting to the initial motivation for sewing with laminated cotton – reusable snack bags!
I found a couple patterns for lunch bags & snack bags – the other lunch bag is still in the works because so far it’s the worst pattern I’ve ever worked with and I can’t bring myself to finish the set… But luckily I was also using a Gingercake pattern for a super cute lunch bag & snack bag and it was a dream to work from.
The lunch bag itself is child-sized with an easy to grab handle. It even has pockets on the sides to hold a fork or two.
I went with a fairly neutral green dot fabric on the outside, with cute dinosaurs on the inside – it is for a toddler after all. I made a couple different patterns of small snack bags, including a drawstring one that my nephew decided was better used as a hat.
And because I can’t resist, here are a couple photos of the bag in use by the cutest nephew around!
adorable April! Thanks so much for letting me know. I like the laminated cotton on the entire bag too. I have to admit that my heart dropped when I read the first few sentences of your post since I thought you were talking about my pattern before I read the next line! HAHA! We all suffer from insecurity sometimes, eh? I am glad your cute nephew likes the lunch box 😉
I’m not sure who loves the snack bags more, me or Isaiah! Thanks so much for the great gift, we’ve only had it a few days and it has already seen daily use! Oh, and I love all the great pics of the bags!
