sail ahoy! :: lunchbag
I figured the best way to get back into my sewing mode is to start complete the projects I'd promised to make for a dear friend and my mother. After the move into the new-to-me house and then later, a week long off work for Brian meant I have not been anywhere near my sewing machine. It had been a nice albeit uneventful (after the house move) family time together.
I finally got to finish off making the lunch-maybe breakfast-bag for my dearest pal who likes to have her cereal in her office. I bought her a red food canister and an extra round container, then set out to measure the size of the lunch-bag which folds over 'paper bag' style. Using unused vintage nautical theme linen pillowcase, blue gingham cotton for lining and denim straps. I gave the straps some length so she could carry the bag over her shoulder and the extra bag room space for the occasional indulgence of a packet of chips, or two.

What a thoughtful and charming gift! I love the design and the fabrics used together.
ReplyDeleteGood One! Your friend would have a huge incentive now for packing a delicious lunch with that wonderful bag to carry it in.
ReplyDeleteHooray for jump-starting your sewing! The lunch bag is adorable! I love the sailboats on the exterior! I hope you keep up your sewing stamina!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting back into the groove of things too!
