How To Create Your Own Sewing Patterns For Reusable Snack Bags
So, you know what's better than snacks? Reusable snack bags, baby! Check out this tutorial on how to make 'em yourself:
Now, let's get down to business with some How To's:
How To Make Reusable Snack Bags:
First things first, you're gonna need some fabric. Anything will do, but we highly recommend using something that will make people do a double take. Like, say, a fabric with Nicolas Cage's face all over it. Ya feel me?
Next, you'll need to get some non-toxic, food-safe lining. You want to make sure that nothing nasty will leach into your snacks. We can't have that, now can we?
Now, cut two rectangles from your fabric and lining, making sure they're the same size. You'll then sew them together, right sides facing, on three out of four sides. Leave the fourth side open so you can turn it right-side out later.
Once you've got your bag right-side out, you'll want to fold down the unfinished edge and sew it together. This will make for a clean finish and also provide the perfect spot for you to add a snap or some velcro to keep it closed.
BOOM, you're done! Wasn't that easy? Now you can make as many bags as you want, with whatever ridiculous fabric you want, and never have to worry about plastic bags again. You're welcome.
Tips & Tricks:
Tip #1: If you're feeling fancy, use a serger on the edges of your fabric to prevent fraying. It's not required, but it sure does look nice.
Tip #2: Use a ruler or measuring tape to ensure that your rectangles are the same size. It'll make your life easier in the long run.
Tip #3: If you're not into snaps or velcro, you can also use a drawstring to keep your snacks contained. Just make sure to add the drawstring before you sew the whole thing together.
Tip #4: Have fun with it! These snack bags are a great opportunity to get creative and show off your personality. Plus, they make great conversation starters.
So go forth, snackers, and make yourself some reusable snack bags. You'll never look at a plastic bag the same way again.
