The first project is from Lunch Bag From Bend the Rules With Fabric:

Vintage Recipe Printed Lunchbag Tutorial By etsy.com

I love packing a lunch, and I like to do it in style. Why use disposable paper bags when you can reuse supercute ones?

Adorn this clever lunch bag with your favorite images from magazines or books. The fabric for this bag has an image scanned from a vintage magazine, complete with a cookie recipe. This project uses only three photo fabric sheets (or homemade sheets with Bubble Jet Set 2000), and the pattern cleverly uses 8 1/2″ x 11″ (21.5 x 28cm) sheets, so you won’t waste any fabric.

Once you make one of these, you’ll be hooked.

I fell in love with this project and have so many different vintage recipe sheets that I can use to print on fabric then make into these nifty lunch sacks, it’s such a creative idea and a great way to preserve your favorite vintage recipes!

Lunchbox Napkins Tutorial By boltneighborhood.com

Now that the kids are back in school and lunches are being packed, let’s learn how to make lunchbox napkins. What’s so great about this kid-sized napkin? It’s cute, great for the environment, and it can double as a cocktail napkin after the kids are in bed.

This is a great way to cut back on paper and use some fabric scraps, I thought it was a nice partner to the lunchbag project.
