The Bento Bag was the first pattern I shared on the blog years ago, and its timeless design and versatility continue to make it my go-to project for all kinds of uses. Even after all these years, it remains one of my favourites!
Two New Sizes
Recently I made a Bento Bag as a gift and decided it was time to expand the pattern by adding a few more sizes. Now, you’ll have three sizes to choose from, making it even more adaptable for your needs whether it’s for holiday gift wrapping, organizing, or crafting.
Perfect for the Holidays
With the holidays approaching, this is the perfect time to start planning holiday gifts (and gift wrapping!). These Bento Bags are quick to sew, endlessly useful, and make for beautiful, reusable gift wrapping. Plus, they’re great for last-minute projects when you’re short on time but still want to make something special.

Fabrics
For this latest version of the Bento Bag, I used some of my favourite fabrics by Nani Iro, whose stunning designs always make proejcts feel extra special. I love how they turned out!
Sew-Along Video
And there’s more! I know how helpful it can be to have visual instructions along with the written pattern, so I’m happy to announce that the Bento Bag Sew-Along Video is now live on my YouTube channel! You can sew along with me from start to finish to create your own Bento Bag.
