With just $1, you can sew a bento bag that&#8217;s both stylish and budget-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-why-a-bento-bag\"><strong>Why a Bento Bag?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My wife and I are always on the lookout for ways to optimize storage and space. We also look for ways to be more eco and find ways to reuse materials and objects. Upcycling as they call it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it caught my attention when my wife sent me an Etsy listing for a set of bento bags where the original price was $34. I thought, \u201cwow $34!?\u201d. Provided the sellers were using an heirloom Indian cotton, which likely contributed to the high price tag. But I thought if the intention was to just have a functional bag using clean cotton, then an unbleached muslin fabric would get you in the same ballpark with a much lower price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, a bento bag, a traditional Japanese wrap bag (known as an azuma bukuro) is also super easy to make. The secret sauce here is simply that the height needs to be 3 times the width. After that it\u2019s a matter of a few folds and two simple stitches and it\u2019s ready to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will make a bag that is medium sized, about enough to fit a lunch box or a loaf of bread. I also find this bag really useful for hiding things around the kitchen. My toddler will often see things like fruit or snacks while eating dinner (that we keep on the counter) and will ask to eat a banana for dinner. So the bento bag also comes in handy to minimize distractions and save time preventing &#8220;I want this&#8221; arguments when she see something and wants it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-materials-you-will-need-to-sew-this-1-bento-bag\"><strong>Materials you will need to sew this $1 bento bag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1\/2 yard of unbleached muslin cotton (this is good to have extra on hand since it\u2019s handy for sewing prototypes and storage materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively you can use any stash cotton that you have on hand. This is a good stash buster project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-steps-to-sew-the-1-bento-bag\"><strong>Steps to sew the $1 bento bag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure and cut out a rectangle that is 13\u201d X 39\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"162\" src=\"https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-MeasureFabric.jpg\" alt=\"Cut out a rectangle that is 13\u201d X 39\u201d (the dimensions here can be anything as long as the length is 3X the width)\" class=\"wp-image-1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-MeasureFabric.jpg 650w, https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-MeasureFabric-300x75.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cut out a rectangle that is 13\u201d X 39\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-CutOUt.jpg\" alt=\"The dimensions here can be anything as long as the length is 3X the width\" class=\"wp-image-1025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-CutOUt.jpg 650w, https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-CutOUt-300x68.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The dimensions here can be anything as long as the length is 3X the width<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-CutOutShape.jpg\" alt=\"The basic shape of the $1 bento bag\" class=\"wp-image-1026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-CutOutShape.jpg 650w, https:\/\/newdadsewingschool.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-CutOutShape-300x125.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The basic shape of the $1 bento bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sew a rolled hem around the sides.
