Crafty Lunch Sack
Show off chic cafeteria style with this easy-to-make -- and easy-to-wash -- lunch bag. MATERIALS:
Old pair of pants
Fabric scissors
Sewing machine or thread and needle
Cord
Patches, paint or buttons
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. To begin, cut a 12- to 16-inch section from a pant leg. Fold over a 1/2-inch strip around the top and sew it down to create a casing.
2. Through an opening left in the casing, thread a 3-foot length of cord and knot the two ends together.
3. To form the bag's bottom, cut another piece of fabric from the pants, about 1/2-inch larger than the leg's circumference. Turn the leg inside out and sew the two pieces together.
4. Customize the bag with patches, fabric paints or buttons.
