This lunch sack was inspired by Zakka Sewing by Therese Laskey (Abrams Books, 2008). I loved the beauty and functionality of the projects in the book. The projects really helped me to realize that I would like to surround myself with lovely little things I had actually custom made for my life. So- here is the start and tribute to that notion.The outside blue fabric is a solid from the Gee's Bend collection. I love the worn texture of these solids so much.
I made this during a weeklong ice-in, but did not finish it until this past weekend... I have been using and enjoying my sack regardless. The bag was only missing the cord or drawstring. My good friend and accomplice, Lady E, showed me how to wrap a cord and turn it a couple months ago and this first attempt was quite nice if I may say so.
