Sewing a bento box lunch bag is a versatile and enjoyable project that results in a sturdy, functional, and stylish carry-all that goes far beyond just lunchtime use. This bag is designed to comfortably fit bento boxes of various sizes, but its roomy, structured shape also makes it ideal for carrying small craft projects like yarn, knitting needles, embroidery supplies, or even stationery. What sets this design apart is the internal fabric cover that adds both privacy and protection. Whether you’re stashing your lunch or your latest creative endeavor, the inner cover helps shield the contents from prying eyes and, more practically, keeps dust and debris out—especially handy on breezy days when you’re on the go. I have shared some purse DIY tutorials before, and if you love big handbags, I also shared some projects of sew bags tutorials. No matter when you send your kids to school with a homemade lunch or take one yourself, or take a snack while go picnic outdoor. Made with firm interfacing or a quilted layer between the outer and lining fabrics, the bag holds its shape much better than a typical soft-sided fabric basket. Its larger size and sturdier construction make it an excellent alternative to floppier gift bags or storage totes, particularly if you’ve found smaller fabric baskets to be limiting in size or lacking in structure. Add handles for easy carrying and personalize the design with your favorite prints or colors, and you’ve got a handmade item that’s as practical as it is beautiful—whether used as a lunch carrier, a project bag, or a thoughtful gift. This little fabric bag was designed as a lunch bag but it has so many other uses. The drawstring cover keeps everything in place, and keeps dust and prying eyes out.
