You can make a fabric lunch wrap like this in 5 easy steps and just 15 mins!

Perfect for sandwiches, and also doubles as a mini picnic mat:

This size fabric wrap is perfect for a single 'round' of sandwiches, a bun or a slice of quiche.  You can simply make a bigger or smaller square for different sized snacks or lunches.

How to make your own:

Step 1.

Cut 2 squares of fabric 26.5cm square.

1 for outer fabric

1 ripstop nylon for inner fabric

 (this fabric can be wiped easily after use as it is waterproof)

1 piece sew in velcro 8cm long.

Step 2.

Pin one piece of the velcro to a corner of each square diagonally - like this:

Stitch around all four edges of the velcro to secure.

Step 3.

Place the squares right sides together with the velcro at opposite corners.

Then pin and stitch around all 4 sides with a 3/8" seam, leaving a gap open of around 8cm on one side.

Step 4.

Snip the corners off close to the stitching:

Turn the squares right side out through the gap you left in the stitching, and press flat.

Step 5.

Topstitch close to the edge around all 4 sides:

And your fabric sandwich wrap is finished!

You can make all sorts of colours and sizes:

To make the perfect picnic:

Then when the food is gone, just gently wipe the inside of the wraps with a damp cloth, or if they need more of a clean, just throw them in the washing machine!
