My mom had mentioned that she would love something she could use at work to eat her lunch on. Apparently the tables are yucky and nobody wants to put their food on them. We were talking about it one day and she said she would like something that could roll up into her purse or lunchbag that had a place for silverware as well.
This is what i came up with. The lunchmate prototype!!! I drew up a pattern so that i could make more if she liked it. She wants to give them to the other ladies that she works with. I am all for anything that can save us all from few germs.

AWESOME idea!!! I really wish I knew someone who needed this so I could make one for them - or myself!!!
Two words... Etsy Shop!
You could sell these in a heartbeat! I'd buy one and I usually eat at my own dining room table.
pretty and practical!
Great job.
Sew blasted clever, I can't stand it!
You-my dear-are the bomb!
how perfect!
Very cute and awesome idea!!! Perfect for picnics - your fork is there, and we all know how icky picnic tables can be.
Love it!
Genius! And such pretty fabric too!
So cute! I love making things that are practical and get used.
BRILLIANT! I love it and am now wondering when we can place orders-seriously. I'll email...
Great idea!
That's too cool, Leslie !
Your mom is going to be the hit of her group when she gets those for her lunchmates !
You are so clever. This is a great idea!
oo this is super cute! For the worn look I distressed it with a 3m sand block 100 grit...very lightly. The I took a wood stain and lightly dabbed it in the crease. For the glaze I used the wipe on wipe off technique with the ralph lauren smoke glaze.
what a great idea, I bet your mom loves it.
" Oh I love it!!! Won't we all look stylish while we eat lunch! Thanks Leslie."
That would have been the first comment except the action came up restricted because I was using my work computer. It's funny how some sites I can access and others have been restricted by the company.
ingenious! You should market these- you'd make a mint and keep the world germ free ;)
wow...that is cool!
That is fantastic! It really would make someone feel special to open their lunch and spread it out on their own special placemat/utensil holder.
What a sweet gift it is to your Mom. You did a great job. I love the colors.
That is awesome! Have you thought about making a tutorial?
Also, am I the only one that thought it was floating on water in that first picture? ;-)
this is a great idea! Perfect for the work place and may be camping(!)
thank you for visiting me.
Happy sewing!
I love this!! I'm going to make a bunch for my kids.
