Lunch boxes seem to become "uncool" at an earlier grade level every year! A new brown bag in the trash for every school day really adds to our land fill nightmare! Contribute to ecological efforts by making an insulated fabric sack that will keep your child's lunch cold and safe.
Materials Needed:
Approximately 3/8 yard of 45" wide fashion fabric for the exterior of the bag
Approximately 3/8 yard of 45" wide fabric for the lining (I used a nylon wind breaker weight so that it could be sponged off)
Batting - a thin but dense batting seems to work best
Fusible Web
3" piece of 3/4 to 1" wide hook and loop tape
Thread
Preparing the fabric:
Cut one piece of fashion fabric, one piece of lining and one piece of batting each 9" by 28"
Cut 2 of each fabric and the batting 4" by 12"
Fuse the webbing to the wrong side of the fashion fabric
Fuse the batting to the fashion fabric.
Mark the fabric as shown in the diagram. These markings are essential to having even corners and leaving an area open for turning the sack to the right way out.
