So I've been sewing buttons to fabric since I was a wee toddler; my grandmother used to give me a threaded (blunt tapestry) needle, a button, and a square of fabric, and it would amuse me for a good 15 minutes.
Apparently even with all that practice, I still can't get a button on straight. Oh well, next time, I suppose (and I will be making another of these). It's roughly, loosely inspired by The Purl Bee's lunchbag, except as you can see it's not white, not embroidered, and big enough for more than a plum and half a sandwich. This is a lunchbag you can put leftovers in, and silverware, and eat like a civilized person!
Yep, it's fully lined, and all the raw fabric is underneath. Go me! And the outside seams are pretty even, too.
Here you can see that the button really is a tiny bit off center. Once the bag's ironed, it'll probably show a little less lining, too.
And the real reason I made it in orange... was to go with this bit of fabric. That image is printed, it came on a bolt of fabric with about 9 images per yard, and that's the only one of those I had. Oh, and I bought it when I was still married, meaning it's at least 12 years old.
And that's what I do when I don't have thread for the machine, make stuff by hand.
