Tiffin Lunch Bag


Each year, my son's preschool holds an auction to raise funds for the school. In the past, I made tipis: first and second. This year, I made this tiffin lunch bag and put it together with a stainless steel tiffin and canteen.


The tiffin is a metal lunch box widely used in India.


I made a pattern thanks to the techniques I learned at Machine Project's Sewing 102 class.


Pleased with the result of my auction donation, I made two more for the boys. They are quite enamoured by the tiffin and sweetly appreciative of their new bags.

  2. Tiffins are available for purchase at To-Go Ware. They are a bit bigger than the one pictured above which I bought from Cost Plus.

  5. what a fantastic idea! i've been using a tiffin religiously since i came back from living in bangladesh, but a carrier, especially an insulated one, would improve things EXPONENTIALLY! i am definitely getting some ideas here...
