Our little Miss needed a bag to take her snacks in to church nursery on Sunday...and I realized that I'd left some leaky stuff in hers :( oops... So.. I quickly whipped up this new one from my favourite (but a little stained) tea towel!
It really IS super super simple! All I did was fold it in half, and stitch up the sides, as if you were making a flat bag. Then I made little box corner, like a flat bottom paper bag.
The whole thing was super flopsy! So I just stitched up each of the corners, there are no seams there...I just did it to add some structure, so it would keep it's shape.
Then I used my very loved snap pliers, and applied some plastic snaps to the top...so it's a snap close lunch bag.
Worked perfectly!!! and...bonus... it's a really thick and absorbant tea towel...so if there is a bit of a spill, it will likely soak it up...plus...it will be a little insulating, because of the thickness.
Now I just wish that the shamrock picture wasn't upside down...but the whole bag is a little too short to make that a fold over. Oh well.
Made this one have a fairly square bottom... for low wide food containers and such... I don't like having to put containers on their sides, so I usually like a big base on lunch bags.
This would work best with a long thin towel, that way there would be more of a fold over top..and a little more of a traditional lunch bag shape, but this one is working just great for us. :)
