Of course, you're not here for the kids, but for the sewing, right? Have you seen the tutorial from a Lemon Squeezy Home for a lunch bag? It is just so cute! I made one for Nathan as he takes his lunch this year. I made a couple of modifications so that there are two interior pockets to hold ice packs. Then I tried out iron-on vinyl for the first time ever. Pleasant surprise! It makes the cloth quite similar to oil cloth. It's not too expensive either! I used it inside and out and even on the bias tape so that the whole bag is wipeable (oilcloth is not washable.)
And in his favorite fabrics: John Deere outside and Farmall inside.
Oh last but not least, I got a note today that strikeoffs are on their way!
Love,
xoxo

How darling! You have the cutest kids! He looks so happy with that lunch bag too! I'll definitely check that out, I totally want one for myself!
Oh yea! I'm glad you like how it turned out. I added some tips to help with making the bag more sturdy, and you can probably still do it even with the vinyl on:

Also, I love that you added some pockets inside! Great idea!
