What a stylish way to carry your lunch! This little
bag is a moder n twist on the old-fashioned
Fabric
my initial sketch
Make this bag your own with a funky
choice of fabrics. This is the perfect opportunity to use all of those cool food prints.
Another great idea is to use laminated
(vinyl-coated) cotton for the liner so that
any spills or moisture can be easily wiped
away. (See page 41 for tips on working
with laminates.)

pivot and stitch up the side to just below the ring. Pivot
again and stitch just below the ring (dont stitch too closely
to the metal or you will break the needle). Pivot once more
and stitch back to the beginning. Backstitch when you
reach the start of the stitching. (figure 3) If youre using
circular rings, sew again over the stitching under the ring
for more stability.

To add the handle to the rings, place one end through a ring
from the front. Fold the cut end over 14", and then turn that
end up by an inch or so (take care not to twist the handle).
Stitch in place in the same manner as the ring tab in step 7.
Repeat for the other end of the handle. (figure 4)

piece. (figure 5) Press the seam open. Fold the bag flat with
the seam along one side and mark the opposite side at the top
and bottom edges. Now open the bag out and align the marks
just made with the seam and mark the opposite ends the same
way. This divides the bag evenly into quarters, to be used later.

Mark the bag to indicate four even sections
sides together, pin the main bag piece and bag base together
with the wrong sides out, aligning the quarter marks. Allow the
snips to ease the two pieces together. Pin fairly close together
and then stitch around the bottom of the bag with a 14"38"
seam allowance. (figure 9)
