I used a cotton sateen weight cloth for both the outside and a lining. I also included a layer each of quilt batting (insulation) and ironed plastic bags (waterproofing). The bag is soft and puffy, but I think it will do the job quite well. Thanks very much for sharing your dimensions. After a failed attempt at making my own pattern, I was on a quest to find a great pattern!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155963160743067303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13343828.post-44954564778646491692010-08-26T18:09:07.405-07:002010-08-26T18:09:07.405-07:00To make your own oilcloth is brush on the linseed ...To make your own oilcloth is brush on the linseed oil and let dry between many coats. That's it. You can dip it in the linseed oil if you want it waterproof. Many recommend using a cotton duck or similar heavy weight material. I haven't tried lightweight but want to for the lunchsacks. It biodegrades in a landfill - pvc coated "oilcloth" does not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13343828.post-3094160996190914342010-02-06T18:37:47.942-08:002010-02-06T18:37:47.942-08:00hey ladies, i too have been on a quest to find a f...hey ladies, i too have been on a quest to find a food safe plastic. i made reusable lunch bags with PEVA as my lining. you can get PEVA as shower curtains at IKEA and i even found one at Target. they hold up really well, i run them through the dishwasher (top rack) on fridays.tesshttp://www.wonderworms.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13343828.post-47305580333988581652009-01-15T23:18:00.000-08:002009-01-15T23:18:00.000-08:00you can make some corn bags (muslin decorative fab...you can make some corn bags (muslin decorative fabric and dried whole kernal corn) refridgerate the corn bag and place on the bottom of the lunch bag. will keep food cold or microwave and will keep food warm :) <BR/>be sure to make it have a removable cover so you can throw the cover in the wash.rhinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561946342637103081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13343828.post-30967056607922690702009-01-06T23:38:00.000-08:002009-01-06T23:38:00.000-08:00I'm going to try the oil cloth to see how it works...I'm going to try the oil cloth to see how it works.

Oilcloth made today is actual made with vinyl, Polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as "PVC" or "vinyl," is one of the most common synthetic materials used to make plastic. The problem is that vinyl plastic, used extensively in building construction and packaging, creates global impacts from relentless toxic pollution that damages the health of all natural ecosystems.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, vinyl is the worst plastic for human health and the environment. Not really a great option for kids lunch bags, it's too bad you can't find real oilcloth of days ago, which was linseed oil, a safer alternative. I'd love to hear if anyone has an alternative to making the bag waterproof, but safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13343828.post-45179696799611835492007-05-08T23:05:00.000-07:002007-05-08T23:05:00.000-07:00Thanks so much for this.
