When I pack my lunch/dinner for work, I take a lot of containers, silverware and a big, reusable water bottle. So I need something that holds a lot. I wanted to make a cute, functional and ROOMY bag for my lunch.

I fell in absolute love when I saw this tea fabric. It's cute, and I'm also into that natural, burlappy, linen-y look right now.

I made a short strap, but you could always make it longer if you want to carry it on your shoulder. This bag uses Peltex as a stabilizer – it's stiff and sometimes a bit of a pain, but worth the effort if you don't want a floppy bag. It also uses Insul-Bright insulated batting to keep your foods warm or cold. I used a simple clasp closure because my current lunch bag has a zipper, and I can never get it closed anyway. It's usually packed too full.
