I am a commuter. I get the train each morning to work. I see people carrying their lunches (and breakfasts) in all kinds of bags, mostly plastic shopping bags, sometimes sturdier shopping bags with knotted string handles.
I thought it would be nice to have a personal purpose-made bag for this.
The pattern I used was based on the previous bag I made:
But I fiddled with the dimensions, and I didn't really have a proper plan.
The fabric is designed by Melody Miller, her Ruby Star Shining collection. It's a lovely cotton-linen weight.
The lining is a leftover blue lineny thing that I made a
skirt out of previously.
The dimensions are wrong, I need to work on that. All these things matter. I think it's ok to through together some fabric, add a handle, that's a bag... but then a fork doesn't fit in it. Or it's too big and you're tempted to put your novel into it as well as your lunch.
Cute bag... useful for lots of little projects if not lunches! :)
