This eco-friendly designer designed this bag for her 9-year-old niece who is recycling maniac! She already had a bag she brought to school but wanted one that holds her water bottle, sandwich and snack without everything getting all smooshed together.
This bag does it all. It is meant to hold a sandwich, a snack bag, a small water bottle or drink, an apple and a small yogurt. Obviously you can change all of this to fit your own lunch diet or your child’s.
The Waste Free Lunch Bag has a large interior pocket that fits a standard size snack bag. There is a divider in the middle to keep thing organized . A velcro flap closure keeps everything closed.
The materials that are needed to make a Waste Free Lunch Bag are cotton fabrics, Insul-bright batting (for insulation to keep that lunch cold or hot!), fusible interfacing, velcro & thread.
The color and fabric combination choices are endless. You could also just use this bag as a purse and use the knowledge you gain from making this to make larger and smaller bags, add extra pockets, and custom fit it to your needs.
