(although I beg to differ)
but perhaps we could agree that it is important what one carries their lunch in?
we went through this debate when the big bug went off to school. which got me to thinking. and i decided in the spirit of making gifts as much as i could this year, that we would address that issue again. i think it was stephanie that mentioned that her household had used oilcloth bags. so i set to work. one for each of my nieces. and a water bottle too. (the girls use these bottles and i think they are really really great - "totally inert lining that won't leach harmful chemicals", so easy to clean, and cute to boot.)
hanukkah down. christmas to go. . .
Super sock-monkey cute! We have one of those sigg water bottles too and we love it.
ReplyDeleteThe lunch totes are fantastic. You nieces are going to love them! And I've been eyeing those water containers...maybe once Big J starts school.
ReplyDeletelove the lunch bags. Alena has one of the water bottles wrapped and ready for the stocking. they are amazing she is always steeling her friends like it.
ReplyDeleteNice job Tracy ;o) They look great! And those water bottles are CUTE.
ReplyDeleteyes, nicely done. the water bottle is a great idea which i'm now going to steal.
ReplyDeleteso good, i love it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that lunch quote and thought it was silly -- I do like to hear about people's lunches now and then!
ReplyDeleteVery cute bags -- and bottle!
love these! our oilcloth lunch bags have been retired (worn out from washing spilled yogurt, etc.), but i may have to make more now that i've seen yours!
ReplyDeletethat book is so silly.
ReplyDeletethese are great, though. what a good idea.
Great totes. Since I've almost overdosed on making my little japanese lunch bags would like to try these. From where did the pattern come?
ReplyDeleteLove the bags. And the bottles. Have one. My sister now has one. O too. And my mom is getting one for Christmas. I'm currently in that fanatical fan phase where I'm forcing everyone else to love them too.
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts!
So great! Love the lunch bags.
ReplyDeletexoj
love these lunch bags and H2O bottle.
ReplyDeletelucky nieces.
how lovely tracy.
ReplyDeletei think i need to make one for my husband. he is going to try and pack a lunch every day next year.
i have one of those water bottles for oliver, they are great.
i want a cool lunch bag.... and am running to check out those water bottles now!
ReplyDeleteMy son is going to school next year. Love this idea!
ReplyDeletethanks so much everyone! the kids seem to love them. i have just finished another batch as christmas gifts. . .
ReplyDeleteso cute- I love your bags, we have some of those bottles too. I've never seen that book, looks like a recipe for disaster to me...what's the point in having a blog if you have to try that hard to do it??
ReplyDeleteOooooh, love these! What a great gift idea.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to find oilcloth (is that what you used?). I meant to make lunch bags a while ago. Can you share your source :)
ReplyDeletei use that sock monkey fabric for my owls, cant get enough of it! those lunch bags are so cute, what a great idea! my poor lunch bag is so stinky! maybe i can make my own now.
ReplyDeleteway cute... i can't wait to make one! I love the monkeys.
ReplyDeleteI was looking through old Sew, Mama, Sew posts, and saw the link that said there was a pattern for this on the Sew Green site...? I scoured the site over there and couldn't find it, then looked on here... help! I think they're a fabulous idea, my daughter is starting kindergarten in two weeks and I'd love to send her off with one of these, if you still have the pattern available. Thanks so much!
