50 Lunch Totes and Bags with Tutorials - The DIY Lunch Collection

Whoever said that there is no such thing as a free lunch was right.  However, here is something that I like even better.  I'm sharing a collection of DIY Lunch Bags and Lunch Totes.  All of them are FREE and include tutorials and/or patterns that are FREE too! 



Why buy a new lunch kit or tote when you can make on as snazzy as these are?  Seriously.  For months now I've been pinning these on my Accessorize, Accessorize Board on Pinterest


I love the Chic Lunch Tote.  Pack your lunch in this and you'll look fabulous while you dine.

This free combo pattern can be made into a smaller size that fits perfectly for your lunch or a much larger size to carry to the gym.

What a fun Notebook Lunch Bag!  Use a metal clippie as your closure and make it fun with something witty or cute on the front.

The details on this bag blend fashion and function.  Running the straps all the way down gives it added strength, and the button closure is handy.  I like the fact that you can use the button and not have to make any buttonholes.

You may think this Juice Pouch Lunch Bag is just for kids.  I would totally make one of these and use it at work for my own personal lunch bag.  Recycling is for everyone!

When I saw this hot pink shiny Lunch Bag Clutch I fell in love.  Okay maybe the hot pink is a bit bold for me, but I would love one in red, black, blue, purple...well you get the idea.  It even has a hidden magnetic closure!

Sewing with oilcloth is so popular now.  Using it to make a lunch bag would be a great project, especially if you haven't used oilcloth before.  This one is a very basic bag pattern.

  8. These days, resist gusseted bags have got the packaging world by storm. Provided with or without a re-close able zipper seal, a resist pouch is known as a laminated film bag, usually of various kinds of plastic or even a combination of plastic and aluminum foil.

  9. Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge.

    I've read a lot of blogs, but I've never seen anything quite like this. When you will buy the stylish vintage designer handbags online, you just have to look that what kind of Brand you use. The Vintage Bag Collecton has a number of stock of all brands such as Prada crossbody bag, Valentina leather bag, and so on.
