Luxie Lunch Bag sewing pattern
Yes, you could use this Luxie Bag as a lunch bag, but we think it has so many more uses, and would make a great everyday purse because of the way the top opens up really wide for you to find what you need quickly. Made with a simple purse frame, you’ll be amazed how easy this actually is to make, yet how professional it looks.
Carry your lunch, make-up, overnight items, or the entire contents of your handbag in luxury. This is a versatile project that features a wire frame that helps hold the top open wide for easy access. Is it a handbag or a lunch bag? You decide! The frame is even removable for washing the bag if you need to.
Customize the zipped bag to suit your needs by choosing from 2 handle styles, and adding the optional outside zipper pocket.
