Reusable snack bags


I've been spending a lot of time in my sewing room this past week and I finished these little bags up just yesterday. We have to take our snacks with us most places but I get tired of carrying around plastic bags which we just throw away. So I found an easy tutorial online for reusable fabric bags and now I have a nice little stash growing.


I used tea towel material for the outside (from the fabric store, or an old tea towel would work perfectly too!) and unbleached muslin on the inside. To close the bag I used velcro but a drawstring would be just as useful. It's a great size for small hands and fits our snacks perfectly. And easy to toss in the wash when they get dirty.
