My little guy has to bring a dry snack to school each day. This morning I packed his snack in a quart sized zip-loc style baggie. Then I did the math. 5 zip locs per week times how many weeks in a school year?? = LOTS of baggies! Cha-ching!!!
Then I remembered last week's WIWOW. So.......to piggie back on It's Sew Sweet's WIWOW from last week (where Jenn shared her new & fabulous lunch kits) I quickly called Jenn to get the skinny on her fabric baggies. I made a few adjustments to fit my needs (I used the measurements of a quart sized zip-loc) and whipped up a modified baggie with a velcro closure, and lined it with PUL! Yep, totally washable, too.
Love it? I totally do! And, more importantly, so does my 1st grader! His quote: "I love it; it's the best thing ever!"

Too cute!! Love the fabric. What's the liner made of?
Hi Tiff! It's PUL (Poly-urethane laminate??). Thanks for the comment, too!
[...] Zip-loc baggies kicked up a notch [...]
What is PUL, and where do I get it??
Here is a great source for it --> http://www.celticclothswholesale.com/fabric_3/PUL-fabric-by-the-yard.htm . And you can often find it on ebay as well.
Where do I find the pattern to make some of these? They're awesome!
I'll see if I can whip up a quick tutorial for them, Angela. Thx for asking! :)
