Zippity-Do-Done Insulated Lunch Box. is a great project. Can see making this in seasonal fabrics so that the lunch box can convey the season.

Thinking about making lunchbox for my granddaughter

I Love this lunchbox! I made one for myself and it turned out fantastic – the instructions are so easy to follow along and the Zippity-Do-Done zipper makes all the difference in getting the project easily completed. I usually stay away from projects that include zippers (traditional zipper install) but not anymore – Love this!

I like the way this lunch box is made. I have a lunch bag, but have to have a certain container to fit it. The container that I like to use would fit in perfect with this lunch box.
