I might add that it was fairly easy. I did not have to read the directions all the way. I decided to do a modification using a snap instead of the button and elastic.
This was a complete test run. I used fabric that had already been washed, a potato chip bag that a friend gave me (thanks Alexis!), and a borrowed snap plier and snaps. I must say it came out better than I expected. My first try at ironing no sew adhesive was a total fail. I had the heat setting up too high, so the mylar packaging completely folded and melted. All it took was to review the tutorial and know that I need to be on a low heat setting. Once I got that cleared up, then I was off and running again.
Check it out!
Now the real test. The 5 year old using it tomorrow in her lunch. It does fit a sandwich, but husband and I realized tonight that the snap may not be such a great idea! It's OK, next one can be a better, darker fabric with a button and some elastic to keep it closed. ;)
You could maybe use hook-and-loop (velcro) as a closure! It could keep small things from falling out- like crumbs, cheerios, etc :o) Looks great! I love the stripes!
ReplyDeleteNope, I won't use velcro in my stuff. I have never liked velcro, even as a kid. I will be using the button idea that is on the tutorial. :P
ReplyDeleteI like the material, too, but the lighter fabrics don't work with this because of how see through they are. So I will be using darker fabrics for the project.
I was going to suggest a button! I've got a pattern for a similar sandwich bag but with the oilcloth so everything will wash right off. I want to make some for my kids cause I pack lots of sandwiches!
