Prettiest lunch tote I have seen. Do you think I should make it any bigger if I use insulbrite and snap the top? Thanks for sharing!

That is one darling bag! You had better be prepared to make a whole bunch more, because as soon as the teachers see that it's no more recycling bags for them!!

Best of luck to your daughter. My DD starts her first teaching job tomorrow, 6th grade science! Woohooo!!

I am printing the pattern right now and am planning to make myself one of these for school. Ooooh - every season, holiday, etc.

Thanks!

Pretty bag!

That is so pretty!!!

I don't think you should make it bigger just because of Insulbrite and/or a snap. However, I recommend that you measure the size container that you would typically carry in it and that you want to sit flat on the bottom. You want to make sure that you make your MCC the right size to accomodate that container.

I proposed batting and some type of closure (snap, velcro, button) to my daughter but she didn't want any of that. I can always add a snap or velcro later if she changes her mind.
