Bento Lunch Boxes, Bags and Bands now available!

In time for the back to school!
Pack a lunch for your child (or yourself) in a stylish handmade lunch bag! I designed these bags originally to accommodate a Japanese bento style lunch box and a bottle of water or juice for my son. The bag folds up small enough to be tucked in a purse or pocket for storage.
Also great for :
• for American style lunches
• as a small project bag
• a small tote
• a gift bag
• a small shopping bag
• a purse
• Trick or Treat bag for Halloween
• and oodles of other uses!
Also available now, elastic bands to hold your bento boxes closed! Not all bento boxes come with a band and sometimes bands get lost. Here's the solution!
Find your bento lunch bags and bands at ojami.etsy.com

I now can offer bento boxes with my handmade lunch bags at My Etsy Shop. (I kept getting questions on where to find the boxes and am so excited to be able to offer them now!)
I also have the boxes available for sale individually at my own hosted shop Ojamiya.
I'm starting a new blog series called "Step Away from the PBJ" on my shop site: http://ojamiya.com/blog/ I'm focusing on simple steps to better lunches (and will be introducing the idea of bentos to my readers). Let me know what you think!
I have new boxes in stock! I'm getting them listed as quickly as I can in both my Etsy store and on ojamiya.com
Enjoy!
We have a new style of bento bag in our Etsy Shop. Look ma' no handles!
These are a super replacement for the paper lunch bag and reduce the waste of a daily paper bag!
Sashiko embroidery is quickly becoming an obsession for me. I'm doing Sashiko on bento bags, making patterns, stocking supplies in my shop, and hopefully (cross your fingers for me) teaching this fall! (Click on the images below for more information. Or check out my latest blog post.)
I was very privileged to be able to attend a wonderful lecture last year by Michele Walker on the subject of sashiko.
If you haven't seen them already there are a couple of excellent documents here:

Best of luck! It really is a fascinating subject.
Ooh - thanks SOOO much Loretta for the fabulous resource! She shows so many types of garments - not just the coats (which are always lovely - but I like to see the variety). You're a dear!
