Four more



I whipped up four more of the cloth baggies this weekend from a Spongebob remnant. Man, I love remnants for projects like this. I get plenty of fabric for the project I need to do and it's really cheap.

These bags were definitely a different experience from the larger bag I made for my husband. I changed up the way I was doing the lining for a much more professional appearance. Of course, a better looking finished product means they were a much larger pain in my rear to actually assemble.



I made the snack sized bag too small. It isn't deep enough to go over the arm of the sewing machine, that was NOT a fun thing to discover. Unfortunately it was a discovery I made after I had already cut the fabric for two and I am way too stubborn to just throw the cut pieces into the scrap bin.

Now I just have to wait and see how they hold up in the lunch bags.

  2. Victoria said that the bread on her sandwich wasn't hard or anything after having been in there probably 10 hours-ish.

    Her dad might be able to give me more constructive comments, but so far they seem to be working out!

  3. I am jealous! I love how they have turned out! I must dream of a need for these baggies and then learn how to make some... or buy some from you. :)

  4. These are wicked cool...have you considered opening up a shop on Etsy or Artfire and selling them?

    Artfire's running a $7/month for life promo now (plus they don't have listing fees or commission).
