I'm in the process of putting together a tutorial for reusable sandwich and snack bags. These are some prototypes that I'm offering up in homes that you will come back in a few weeks and check out the free tutorial! (I hope to have it posted by mid-June) They are green and black cotton on the outside, fused to repurposed mylar chip and cookie bags. Closures are button and elastic. The green bag has a gusseted bottom and is sandwich sized, and the smaller black bag is intended for nuts, chips, carrot sticks, etc. but hey, who am I to tell you what to pack in your lunch?

ReplyDeleteHow neat!! I love these bags! Very useful and green! :-)
ReplyDeletemy biologist and very 'green' son would love those. thanks for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I've seen the snack bag tutorials around before, but using mylar for the lining is something I hadn't thought of.
ReplyDeleteVery neat! I wonder if I could convince my husband to use them so I can quit buying so many plastic sandwich bags?
ReplyDeleteEesh! Great bags. I love them!

ReplyDeleteThose look really neat! I'll definately be back for that tutorial! Thanks for hosting this giveaway and for your hard work on that tutorial!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great! Did you buy the fabric already fused to the shiny stuff, or did you somehow do it yourself? A friend and I have been trying to figure out how to make these kinds of snack and sandwich bags for a while, so I'd be interested to find out where you got the fabric or how you made it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWould love these! Thank you...

ReplyDeleteOh my, I will definitely be back for the tutorial. I love them! My husband will love them too. I have stopped buying plastic zip lock bags because I couldn't stand the waste, but I haven't really found a replacement so his lunch has been packed in everything from empty potato chip bags to scraps of fabric and rubber bands.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable idea! I'll definitely make sure to be back for the tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you made these.
ReplyDeleteNever seen those before, how cool!

ReplyDeleteI pack my lunch every day these will be awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteThose bags are great. I always get so frustrated when I pack a snack for my toddler in his diaper bag and the Ziploc bag explodes. I need something like this that locks up nicer. Plus, it's much more environmental.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your tutorial :)
I have two daughters who take lunch to school every day. I think my almost 13 year old daughter would love how grown up these look and she like not using disposable plastic bags!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Can't wait to see the tutorial!

I can't believe I found these- I have been wanting to make them for the last two months and have not gotten around to finding the right kind of fabric to line the inside. I'm so tired using plastic bags to carry my sandwiches to work...I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
