There are some crafts that I hesitate to suggest because they require specialized equipment. Most folks don't have pinking shears or spirit gum or an orifice tool just hanging around the house. Still, I couldn't resist with these bags simply because they are so cute and useful.
Skip to My Lou walks you through the construction of these oilcloth lunch sacks. Yes, you do need a sewing machine -- you could hand-stitch but that seems overly tedious -- to whip these up. But the actual assembly is so easy and the result so satisfying that it's worth it.
As a bonus, oilcloth comes in all sorts of kicky options - and the resulting bags can hold more than just your lunch.
