You already know that your Spoonflower fabric is fabulous and eminently sewable, but don't chuck that perfectly usable Tyvek envelope we shipped it in! I just saw this tutorial (via Craft) from Becky Stern on how to transform your used Tyvek envelope into a lunch bag--mighty timely if you've got a back-to-schooler like me. Becky says that the resulting lunch bag won't last forever, but having seen a similar project (a Tyvek tote) in Betz White's new book, Sewing Green, and having also been lucky enough to fondle said Tyvek tote in a Betz workshop awhile back, I've gotta say it seems like pretty sturdy stuff to me!
