lunchbag-style-placemat-handbag

a classical lunchbag pattern...three simple woven plastic placemats...two handles...this is all you need for this handbag.

i decided to use a very simple lunchbag pattern and added some extra inches everywhere to make the bag big enough to carry my lunchbag inside.

...one big advantage to work with plastic placemats is that they are quite sturdy, but still smooth enough to be sewn with your sewing machine.

in addition to the following pictures of the making of the handbag, you can find the tutorial of the lunchbag right here.
