A Bento bag or two..

My sister was recently admiring this little Bento bag,

and it reminded me that I wanted to try a larger one.



 This one started as a 43.5" by 14.5" rectangle,

just so I have the details for next time!

I stumbled across a variation which joined the 

handles,

instead of knotting the ends as in the original.


So I followed this version

and stitched the ends together....



and added a spotty handle.

This bag now holds 800g of yarn, needles and 

pattern ready for my next knitting project!


Quick and very satisfying!

Happy sewing!

This is encouraging me to try bento bags again. I can see how the handle version would work better. Otherwise, the combo of outside and lining can be a bit bulky to tie.

Pretty fabric. What are you knitting now? Hows the hand healing?

Quick and very cute which means very inspiring for me. I love it with the handle.

It's nice to have a quick (and oh so pretty) finish!! Thinking of you and hope you're healing quickly.

I love those bags that have the side seams and that folded look, and now I'm glad to have a name for them. Your Bento Bag is really cute, with that spotty hand-hold. Seems to me it would give you more room, too, rather than tying it down low. Great job!

Oh, that is a delightful variation, Susan! Love that extra detail of adding spots for the handle - so cute!
