Review:

Bags, bags, bags, can a girl ever have too many bags? Lunch Bags! Offers more than just lunch bags. Within this little book you will find 25 handmade sacks and wraps to sew using quick and basic sewing techniques. In addition to charming lunch bags you will also find instructions to create several different sandwich wraps that will go a long way to-ward keeping plastic wrap out of the landfills. I will be making the Bicycle Lunch Bag which has handles that are designed to go over your bike's handlebars repositioned to be used as a carrying handle once you reach your destination. Each bag comes with it's own sewing instructions and in the back of the book you will find instructions for two different methods of corner construction. (The Applique Society, 11/01/2010)

You'll never use a brown paper bag again once you've taken a peak at the dozens of creative lunch-toting options presented in this book. Whether you're looking to create a basic lunch sack, an eco-friendly sandwich wrap, or a picnic-sized tote, you'll find what you're looking for. Materials range from cotton fabric to denim, lace, and even plastic juice pouches. Nifty details like water bottle holders make these bags the perfect combination of adorable and functional, ideal for toting everything from wine bottles to bento boxes. What better way to combine your love of sewing, good food, and a green lifestyle? (International Quilt Festival, 12/10)
