I made two lunch bags for my daughters when they were 1st grade and Kindergartner. It was hard to find right size lunch bag for 6 years old girl’s lunch box at the store. So I measured my girl’s lunch box and create the exact size lunch bag that I no longer worried about a pretty packed lunch ruined on the way to school.

*all seams are 0.25inch

Step1. Measure your lunch box and decide the wide and the hight. Allow space for easy putting in and out. I add about 1 inch each side.
