the hobo lunchbag

i saw this pattern on sewing notions a thought that it seemed easy enough to be worth trying. for my pattern paper i cut and taped a paper grocery bag and for the fabric i used four quilter's quarters. otherwise, i followed the pattern exactly as she made it without any of the options that weren't a part of her tutorial's example.


it did end up being really cute and it seems very practical. my final product seems a bit larger than the one in the tutorial, though i suppose it may be i'm using a smaller container. still, it would seem then that mine would have room for a drink and utensils, right? i'm thinking of making more of these for friends and throwing in the plastic container, too, as an excuse to bake something sweet to go inside as an additional treat. nice of me, eh?
