The Pretty Penny includes a
tutorial for how to make a resuable lunch sack so you don't have to keep purchasing brown paper bags.
You certainly could embroider it in any design you like, including perhaps your child's name or simply leave it plain. I think you could also line your favorite fun fabric with the canvas, or add some embellishments to the oustide of your canvas using fabric paint or applique techinques. You could also recycle some old Levi's to make a denim sack and trim them with some scraps of flannel. Maybe even add a pocket with a velcro closure to the front so you can add a few quarters for a snack from the vending machine if you want. Let your imagination run wild!
Obviously, the neat thing about this project is that you can design it to be whatever size you would like & decorate it to suit your personal taste. You can use a brown paper sack as your template and take it apart to use it as a pattern, or you could make a tote that was larger if you wish. Happy sewing!
