Fabric snack bags

This summer I saw some fabric sandwich/snack bags at the farmer's market. I bought three--they were a little pricey. Love the idea of this since I don't use ziploc bags in the kids' lunches. I took them over to mom's because I knew she could figure out how to make them. A few days later I received my Sept/Oct issue of Simply Handmade. Guess what was inside?? Instructions for making reuseable snack bags. Hooray!

A few friends expressed interest, too, so tomorrow I'm teaching some of them how to make them. Today was "make sure I can make it so I can teach it" day. I made a sample for each step. Honestly, these were SO easy to make! I have more fabric for the girls' bags and can't wait to keep sewing up these cute things. Bird was so excited when I told him he could have the Incredibles bag!

Have a great Monday!

That is awesome! I love the idea! Just curious as to your reason behind not using zlock? environmental? safety? If you don't mind sharing.

Those are fantastic! Someone gave my sister a really cute reusable snack bag...but we thought they were pretty expensive too. I'm gonna go look for the tutorial...thanks!
