Martha Stewart??

Well...not quite - But I'm learning. I saw these reusable snack bags on etsy.com and I really wanted some for Brooks. They are super cute and they just make sense. You'll never have to use ziploc bags again! Well, I was going to order them but then my mom and I got to thinking: We could make those! That was such a silly thought. It took me so long to make the first one that Chad made a comment that if I made them for others and charged by the hour that we would be rich. The first one did take a long time and didn't work out. The second one turned out pretty cute, but I got the fabric inside out. The third one is adorable and usable. We gave it a try today when we went shopping with Brooks. Brooks loved his snack bag and his goldfish stayed inside the bag without spilling. I sewed this one a little bit deeper so he had to really reach in to get the snack (I think that helped it not to spill). All the sellers on etsy.com take cute pictures of their bags, so I thought I would show mine off as well.



I think I'll make a couple more and then put the sewing machine aside for a while. It takes me so long to do something so simple. Just in case you are super crafty, I put the link to the tutorial that I used in case you are interested: http://www.tacy.org/tutorials/SnackbagtutorialRevisedpdf.pdf
P.S. If someone can comment and also tell me how to add a link that would be awesome.
