I bring my lunch to work.  We take snacks on day trips.  Lots of food for road trips.  One of the things I have really liked was a lunch bag I put together for work.  It has a pocket for if I decide to sit in the park and wish my phone and wallet with me.  Or other bits.  It also allows me to bring a cloth napkin and silverware with me. 

But, I only had one and it occasionally needs washing.  

I definitely needed another.

I decided to make it from nine squares.

I stitched six together.

 

I stitched a pocket into the muslin lining.  I then folded both the squares and lining in half and stitched one side and bottom.

 

I stitched some of the squares together to make a strap.  These are the same squares I use to make for nine squares.

I pinned.  And then I stitched.

And I have a fabulous new lunch bag.  It made me smile SO much today!
