All in good humor, I was inspired to make a lunch bag when I came across some McDonald's fabric hanging out in my stash! This result was not really my intent when I bookmarked the
Lunch Box Tutorial at Pink Penguin ages ago, but a fun Christmas gift for sure!
The pattern is modified a bit - I quilted some denim to make a sturdy base.
Then, I couldn't resist doubling-up the handles to make the golden arches!
I love the drawstring coverlet!
The
Bag It Challenge runs until December 14th - plenty of time to hop aboard, make some bags and enter for a chance at prizes! I am inspired by Patty to make a Jewelry Roll, and next week she will post a tutorial for Triangle Bags that sound pretty tempting too.
Check out more Bag-It makes at the Link-up!
I am linking this up with Ho! Ho! Ho!, hosted this month at
Rose & Dahlia!
The linkup is open through November 30th.
A lovely gift for someone eating lunch away from home.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable - the McDonalds fabric is a hoot! I have one in flamingo fabric that a friend made me from the same tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh. I love it! I work in a health food store so I'd have to hide it if it was mine....but then again most of my co workers have a good sense of irony.
ReplyDeleteThat's SO clever! Especially the handles!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lunch bag. A true happy meal :)
ReplyDeleteHeidi, that's just too cute and too clever! Isn't it fun to take a pattern and give it your own little twist? Someone at McDonalds corporate offices should see this!
ReplyDeleteDetails like your double golden arch handles make projects like this so fantastic. Someone will surely be amused to receive this as a gift.
ReplyDeleteSo very fun!! I just love what you made - very clever. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts Bag It.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that?!? Those handles really make it a one of a kind. That is one of my favorite lunch bag tutorials, too.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite tutorials too. Awesome double arches.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a great gift. Your double arches are a very clever idea :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That McDonald's bucket bag is toooo fun!!!
ReplyDeleteThis si a great pattern and I love your take on this design. What a fun finish.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the kids love the McDonalds fabric. Such a fun bag. Popped over from Bag It.
