Apple-a-Day Lunch Bag by Spool Sewing

Our little sister was an early green crusader and insisted on bringing her lunch to school (Catholic school at that!) in a cloth Crown Royal Whiskey bag. This Apple-a-Day lunchbag by Spool Sewing in Philadelphia might have been more appropriate.

You'll save some trees and this cheery fabric is bound to bring a smile to your kid's face. Spool Sewing offers a sewing pattern with easy instructions for download ($5) on their website. For $22 they'll send you the full kit - pattern, outer and lining fabrics, interfacing and velcro so you can get started right away. And if you're in the Philly area, you can attend their class tomorrow and go home with your own homesewn lunchbag.

Cute bags!

Though I don't understand why it's shocking to bring your own lunch to Catholic school. Are Catholics somehow notorious for cafeteria lunches or something?

Absolutely adorable - though I'm not sure I'm crafty enough for even this....

I think the shocking part was that she took her lunch to Catholic school in a Crown Royal Whiskey Bag. ;-)

Actually, Crown Royal is rye. At least in its native Canada. My Dad drank Crown Royal and those bags were great for childhood collection, like marbles, coins, pebbles and so on. As an adult I still use them, for makeup, lunches and all manner of things.
