Easy Peasy Lunchbag FREE sewing pattern
This is the Easy Peasy Lunchbag FREE sewing pattern from the awesome designer Sew Can She.
With this pretty and compact lunch bag sewing pattern you can make back to school (or back to work) easy. And it’s a good size to fit in your Tote Bag or Backpack.
The designer says that most lunch bags that you can buy these days are so big you could fill them with enough food to fill a family! So she designed this easy and compact lunch bag that will keep your lunch cool and fit in a backpack too. This sweet and easy bag is the perfect size for a sandwich and an apple. Or a turkey wrap and a small bag of chips. Or put a kid-size lunch inside and throw it in with the homework.
The designer used insul-bright batting between the fabric layers to help keep food cold (or warm), and there’s hook and loop tape (velcro) all the way across the top so it closes securely.
The loops at the top form handles plus make it easy to pull it open.
Sizing info:
The pleated bottom allows the bag to stand up on its own and then it’s about 7½” tall and 9″ wide.
Recommended fabrics:
On the inside, the designer used waterproof PUL (laminated) fabric so she can easily wipe crumbs and spills away. Other choices for the inside lining include laminated cotton fabric or laminating cotton fabric yourself with a product like Heat n Bond Iron-On Vinyl.
The designer says you should take note – this easy lunch bag sewing pattern works best if your exterior fabric is non-directional.
