Reusable bags...

I sew reusable bags.

Of all kinds.

We have beach bags, gift bags, grocery bags, produce bags, bags for dry bulk goods, snack bags, bread bags, hand bags, mobile phone clutch bags...

The ones we use the most are our bread bags (mentioned in this post) and our snack bags. One day I got tired of buying Ziplock bags of different sizes, they spill everywhere when the kids try to get 'one' out of the box and no one picks them up. They are wasteful being used once (although we have washed them till they become holey) and we end up have 5 boxes open at different stages because some people in my house don't bother to make sure there is a box open already for the size they need. I'm not pointing fingers at any one in particular...

Enter reusable bags. I have a ton of fabric for cloth diaper-making and don't have anyone in diapers any more and I don't want to give it to the Goodwill because it's pretty expensive stuff. So I have been holding on to it. One day I thought of this snack bag idea and pulled it out. I don't like plastic touching our food (I don't know what kind of plastic it is) so I line the plastic side with cotton fabric and add some velcro or snaps for the opening and voila! A cute little bag to carry nuts, raisins, crackers or whatever snack your little heart desires!


I sell these bags, so contact me if you'd like one...or more! I can customize them too!
