This little book is packed full of adorability cute lunch bags, totes, and a very cute crochet Apple-A-Go-Go cozy. I can’t wait to make some of these patterns. I am starting with the Sack Lunch. It’s a creative take on the brown bag lunch that the little ones will love to play with. Made from felt you get a yummy banana, cookie, and a sandwich that contains separate slices of cheese, lunchmeat, tomato, and a lettuce leaf. Everything fit perfectly in a 'paper sack' (also made of felt). I know my little guy will love to play with these. Plus all the lunch bags have easy to follow direction, and even the patterns in the back of the book. This is a very nice collection of easy bags. Fun bags for everyday and easy enough to give as a last minute gift.

A nice book, to be sure. I wish the directions were a bit more illustrated. I feel many of my beginner sewing students would find themselves frustrated and confused. Perhaps better for advanced beginner or higher.

Very clever and I intend to make the sandwich wrapper once I find the right fabric.
