Carry your lunch, make-up, overnight items, or the entire contents of your handbag in luxury. This is a versatile project that features a wire frame that helps hold the top open wide for easy access. Is it a handbag or a lunch bag?  You decide!

Customize the zipped bag to suit your needs by choosing from 2 handle styles, and adding the optional outside zipper pocket.

For a lunch bag, I recommend pre-washing your fabrics and using cotton for the lining so you can wash and reuse the bag as often as you need to. The frames are removable for washing! The foil backed thermal fleece/batting will help keep your food chilled. If you would rather have a wipe-clean lining in a lunch bag, you could substitute the cotton lining that I have recommended with laminated cotton, PUL, diaper liner, or nylon jacketing and use food safe containers. You could also substitute a wipe clean thermal foil-backed batting such as Insul-Shinetm for your lining.  Get the Insul-Bright! 

This pattern requires:  1 Set (Pair) Internal Wire Frame, Style B (10” x 3 1/2”)

This pattern is suitable for an advanced beginner to intermediate sewer. Pattern instructions are provided in both imperial and metric measurements and are geared towards an intermediate sewer. Measurements are given to cut pattern pieces with a rotary cutter, ruler and mat.

Finished Size (Closed):
Width - 10 1/2” (27 cm) x Height - 6 1/2” (16 cm) x Depth - 7 1/2” (19 cm)

Great pattern. Instructions could be better.

I enjoyed making this bag for my daughter. She loved it. The instructions I felt could be a little better. For instance, adding the zipper ends to pocket zipper. Mine did not go end to end and the pictures weren't very helpful. Also the side pieces were almost to big for the front and back. I managed to make it work but no matter how much I clipped front and back pieces the side pieces were still too big. I prefer real pictures, rather than the diagrams that are used. Other than those things I'm still looking forward to making more.

Hello Roni, I am sorry to hear you had trouble. We haven't had anyone ever report the side pieces not fitting, so I am wondering if it was a cutting issue. I will definitely double-check that. Thank you for the feedback, and if you ever have any trouble at all, please feel free to ask for help and we are here for you!
