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.

One down



Several more to go. My husband takes two sandwiches to work every day, and as a way to conserve bags, he usually throws them both in one. So I had to make his a lot larger than I will be making the rest. I patterned it off of a one quart freezer bag.

Like the fabric? He has a shirt in almost the exact same pattern. We see it pop up occasionally on reruns of Magnum P.I. Yeah, he's that kind of dork.
