Hope you all had a good weekend. I have a FREE PDF sewing pattern download to share with you 
yay! You might have already noticed it from the right column of my blog but I thought I would properly write about it.
For me, time is money. This means that my lunch is often shoved into a plastic bag last minute before I leave home. It has come to a point that I really needed a nice bag that I can quickly put my lunch in it and grab and go out.
I won’t bore you with too much mechanics of this bag. Though if I were to mention just one thing about this bag is the contrasting wide gusset which allows you to put a fairly large Tupper Ware (which has your yummy lunch in it). I have used Colourful Japanese Fans (natural) fabric (quick because I only have 1 yard left of this fabric) and light loft fusible fleece.
You can download the pattern directly by clicking the thumbnail below or from here. Enjoy!
By the way, I will now be starting a FREE newsletter. You will get all the product update and news. There will be a discount code in the newsletter that you can use for all items in the shop. I’ve added an extra step to help keep us safe from spammers so that you will receive an e-mail which you will have to confirm your sign up. I will make sure that the newsletter is fun and exciting. I will the thrilled to see you on the list!
I will posting a great gift sent from Stephanie from Concerning Pancakes and my 5k run photo! Hope you all have a good week.

Hi Pili!
You know, I am the worst person when it comes to organising my lunch. After making this bag, all my lunch is nicely organised and things like bananas never gets squished!! Hope you have a great week too

I noticed this bag when I first stopped by your new site. I’m so excited for this! A pretty lunch bag makes it much more fun to pack a lunch each day. Thanks for the pattern! Enjoy the weekend.
Hi Stephanie,
Enjoy the pattern. Hope you have a good week.
Precisely! Everyday I was using a plastic bag and my lunch was boring. Now because I have a nice bag I put more effort in making nicer lunch to pack

Cute! It looks like it would make the perfect bento bag! I’ve made some fun ones, but that fabric is very cute.
Hi Angel!
Thank you for stopping by! Yep, bento box would be perfect for the bag! When I was a child, my friend used to have a “double-decker” bento box and I was so jealous, LOL!!
Enjoy the pattern!

Thank you, thank you! I’ve been wanting to make a lunch tote like this for a long time – just too lazy to make a pattern. Hope mine turns out a cute as yours!
Hi Billie,
Thank you for dropping by! I totally understand. All this time, my lunch was carried in a plastic bag for such a long time. Hope you enjoy the pattern! You can always e-mail me if you have any questions

Nice bag. The fabric is fab.
I’m still interested in asking you to custom make a bag for me. A large one with a zip. Do you remember we saw some nice handles from Loop. Did you manage to take a proper look? Could you bring the sample bag we were talking about last week with you when we go to the Knitting and Stitching Show? This way I can lugg my dance gear and work stuff with me without having two bags.
Thanks you…
Hey Mary!
Yep, that is the one. I will bring the bag on the day
I keep thinking about the bag handles from Loop but I completely forgot the name of it. Do you remember it? I have a yarn which I want to buy from there. May be they will be at the show.
Have you contacted anyone if they would like to go to the show and meet with us? May be I will put up a notice for it on the site
Chat to you soon!

I featured this on my blog today!

Wow Kyoko – the new site is amazing – great work! Thanks for this pattern and many congratulations for the birth of your nephew.
Hi Sarah,
Thank you

This is indeed a nice simple tote pattern. Thank you for giving us one more in the arsenal.
We already have several tote patterns posted on our blog, but none is as simple as this, and well, we’re not all ‘very advanced seamstresses’… most of us are … mere toiling mortals. This is befitting, so, thanks a lot!
Hi Rose!
Since I made this lunch tote, I have been having no problems with organizing my food and they do not get squished.
Thank you for your kind comment
Sometimes simple is the best
Hope you enjoy!

Hi Kyoko, thanks heaps for the pattern, I now think I have Christmas presents in the bag!!!! Just looking over the pattern though, am I missing something or should there be pattern templates?
Thanks again

Hi Mandy!
Thank you so much for letting me know. I don’t know what happened to the pattern template. It was originally there!!!
Now I have corrected it and when you download the pattern you can get the pattern template too.
Phew!!
Enjoy sewing!

Kyoko, I truly love your choice of fabrics for this bag
great work! will definitely try and make one for me 
Hi Lia!
I really like the fabric (it’s kokka fabric). It’s so colourful and a little retro. I’m so sad because I only have this fabric in black.
Thank you
Hope you enjoy the pattern! Would love to see it when you make it!

Hi Joanna,
Thank you for linking the tutorial. I think the code is written so that pdf can only be downloaded directly from my site. If you use this code:

It should direct to the post from where you can download the pattern.

Thank you so much for a really well written & FREE pattern in my fave format PDF. I have just made one & love the size of it, though I have used so far to the markets, & it was a great size. I added a button on for closure & it works really well. You can see mine if you like…
