In the northern hemisphere its back to school – and in the south the year continues and everything seems sort of worn out – so it is time for some school lunchbag crafting.
I love the lunch bag thang thats happening here are some lunch bag tutorials that I like: Notebook lunchbag on design*sponge [see image above] and woodgrain lunchbox too : purlbee embroidered lunch bag : The Storque shares this tutorial from Amy Karol’s new book : Martha Stewart’s oilcloth lunchbag : and here is a lovely linen patchwork lunchbag : and a bicycle frame lunchbag from evil mad scientist.

Man Crafts: Leather Tooling, Fly Tying, Ax Whittling, and Other Cool Things to Do (Popular Mechanics)
An eccentric collection of ‘manly’ crafts, from 100 years ago, that includes ‘axe’ crafts, whittling and fly tying to cartooning and book binding. The instructions are by no means definitive and really only provide a taster for getting started on these crafting pursuits.
The value in this book really lies within the detailed instructions and beautifully done illustrations giving the would be crafter a really good taste of beginning these ‘manly’ pursuits.
