reusable snack bags and beyond

I am thoroughly in love with my reusable snack bags.  They make excellent gifts to say a small thanks.  I make them in 2 basic sizes and now a new smaller size to fit the gummy vitamins my kids never have time to eat in the morning.  Plus, it minimizes my scrap waste.  Bonus.

I use cotton or linen...I know linen sounds so rich - but sometimes I get it very inexpensive.  So why not?  I've also used some organic cottons with Dr. Seuss' Lorax design from http://www.fabric.com/ .  It is my favorite go to online store for awesome pricing.

Mardi Gras recently passed, and of course the school celebrated with donuts.  So I baked some "donuts" for my kids and figured the teachers needed a baked donut too.  My children tell me their teachers do use their bags.  A sweet girl in my son's class also has some - her mom was kind enough to pass down some uniform sweaters to us when the store was out of them, so of course she got some from us!  She uses them too.  It makes me happy to know they are being used.

I think it is the best compliment to a sewer to use or wear whatever is sewn and given to them.
