In this delightful bag tutorial, you’ll learn how to sew an apple-shaped lunchbox that’s as functional as it is adorable. The tutorial is a feast for the eyes and the sewing soul, guiding you through each step with clarity and a dash of fun.
The tutorial is designed to help you create an insulated lunchbox using a variety of materials. The exterior is made from a cotton laminate fabric, giving it a sleek and stylish look. Inside, you’ll find a layer of Insul-Bright thermal insulation and a nylon lining that’s a breeze to clean. The tutorial also employs Peltex interfacing to give the lunchbox its sturdy shape.
The apple-shaped lunchbox is not just for kids; it’s “mama-sized,” measuring 11 inches at its widest point and 3.5 inches deep. So, you can pack a hearty lunch without worrying about space. The tutorial also includes a free pattern for download, making it easier for you to get the measurements just right.
But wait, there’s more! The tutorial goes the extra mile by showing you how to add a leaf-shaped zipper pull for that perfect finishing touch. So, if you’re tired of using the same old lunchbox and want to add a sprinkle of creativity to your daily routine, this tutorial is your go-to guide.
