Bento Bags-US/Canada

I have been mulling this idea around in my head for a week or so and I decided to give this idea a shot!

I like to bento and I know that several other swappers have the same interest.

We have all done bento box swaps and accessory swaps for our bentos and many of us seem to run into the same issue of having to order from Japan, so I thought we could hand make a bento bag for our bento swappers.

The bags can be knitted, crocheted, quilted, just sewn from a neat fabric, embellished, or plain, whatever your functional medium is.

I like mine with a draw string and handles, or just a little deeper than normal if without a drawstring. That is just my preference. Please make some way to secure the top: drawstring, ties, button, loopy thing, etc...

Please make out of fabric that is at least hand washable, just in-case it gets dirty. Please include care instructions.

You may find info on your partner's profile that would indicate color preferences, or you could post any color preferences here to simplify the process.

You are more than welcome to include extra bento stuff or things from your partner's profile, but that is up to you. As for ratings, please rate within the SB guidelines. If you feel your package is heart worthy, then rate in the manner that demonstartes that.

I'm giving plenty of time so that everyone can enjoy this without stress.

PM me if you have any questions, concerns, or have ideas.

This is open to US/Canadian swappers becasue we are all close to broke right now, but if our International swappers Pm me with enough requests/interest, I will head up an international one!!!! Just let me know!!!

4.8 required. PM if you are an awesome swapper and just had a nasty run. Newbies-Full profile with links to some other form of contact(MySpace/Flickr/Blog)-and newbies must have at least 5 real swaps(no email/web link/postcards things). Please, anyone, if you see a shady swapper, please PM me so I can ban. I will ban after the swap closes before I assign partners.

If I forgot something, just let me know.
