Tutorial: Lunch bag with a drawstring top

Joann from Craft Passion shows how to make a lunch box bag with a drawstring top. The drawstring closure will keep all your food containers inside, and it’s easy to open when you’re ready to eat. The bag has a wide boxed bottom and handles so you can carry it like a purse. The style works well for kids taking their lunch to schools, as well as for adults who are brown bagging it to work.

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
