sandwich wrap with serged edges


My nephew is turning 6, and his mom asked if I would make reusable snack bags and a sandwich wrap for him, and of course I was delighted! For this set I decided to add a little reverse applique and stamped lettering on the outside of the bags and the sandwich wrap. On the inside, I stenciled a piece of bread to illustrate how to use the wrap, and used a gallon size Ziploc bag (cut apart) on the inside.  These are super fast and easy refashions made from an old shirt (blue) and linen from my scrap bin.   

We have a number of these around our house and they get used all the time (see more here and here).  After a few uses I just throw them in the wash and hang them to dry.  

These are on the top of my stocking stuffer list this year!

  5. do you wash the ziplock bags wraps just by hand or in the machine? I love the idea and I have some in my house I could make these today!

  6. The great thing about the snack bags and sandwich wraps is that I can just throw them in the washing machine and then hang them to dry!
