Some girl fabric I have...

This fabric is in addition to the other fabric that I currently have Sak Saver Baggies made from...

A Name and payment options

So finally decided on a name for my reusable bags....

Sak Saver Baggies

Also, I do have a couple options if you want to pay by debit/credit card: I can either email you an invoice for the cost of the baggies and you can pay via a secure website (propay.com) OR you can purchase via my online etsy store www.itsaten.etsy.com If you don't see exactly what you want in my store, just let me know what fabric you like and I can make them and create a Reserved listing for you on etsy.

Thanks!!!

More than I thought...

Well I guess I had more boy fabric than I thought...

Fabric descriptions: top left orange and yellow have octopus/squid looking things on them, the black has motorcycles, the grey striped has dirt bicyles and says "all terrain" on it, tan one has monkeys and trees, the bottom left has black bears/trees, middle is old fashioned airplanes, the light blue onthe right has large pirates and boats and then there's the red sports fabric on the bottom right.

Thanks!

Boy designs and a name??

Here are some reusable bags geared towards boys...I have some other fabric that could work for them as well (airplane, light blue with pirates and red sports fabric) - just haven't made any from those yet. Maybe I'll just take a picture of the fabric and post it for now and if you like any of those better you can let me know and I can make you whatever size you want from that fabric.

These are the Sandwich size Baggies I have made...(the sports one pictured is the only one I have for that design...it was a small scrap of fabric)
These are the mini size Snack Baggies I have made...

I'm also trying to come up with a catchy name for the bags....I've seen them called Reusies, Lunchkins, Snack Taxi...among other things.

Let me know what name you like or if you can think of something else!!

Snack Eater Baggies (Kendall's suggestion)

ReUseIts!

Trying out Etsy.com

I have opened an Etsy.com shop and have posted a few things. I'm still trying to figure out how it works so it may take me awhile to really get the hang of it. Etsy.com just gives me a way to reach a larger audience, have people pay with credit/debit cards or Paypal and sell to people that live in another city/state! I will try and keep that site updated with what I have!

New size and more fabric choices...

Hi there...I spent some time this morning putting some more bags together and also came up with a bit smaller snack size bag. So here they are.

Mini Snack size (approx 4"x 7 1/2")

Just 3 fabric designs of the Mini snack size right now

Below are the designs I have done in the Small Sandwich size (approx 6" x 7 1/2")

More Small Sandwich size bagsAnd I just have 3 of the larger Quart size bags (approx 8"x 7 1/2")

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle...reusable bags!

I had seen these reusable bags before but had always wondered what people were lining them with to make them suitable for food storage...that is until a friend of mine showed me one that her husband had purchased online. I just took a quick look at it the other day and made some mental notes. Got the fabric and velcro I needed while I was down in Phoenix over the weekend and I made a test one last night...which I won't post.

But then I made a few more today...I was able to come up with a design based on some purse like bags I had made for the girls...

I made them in two sizes, 7"x5.5" and 7"x8.5" (a bit bigger than regular ziploc disposable snack and sandwich size bags) I intend to really only use these for the girls snacks (crackers, fruit, sandwiches etc) as the nylon fabric is only water resistant, not waterproof. These would not be suitable for extremely wet items plus the top just seals with velcro which would not keep items fresh for extended periods of time - like for more than a day I would guess.

But just think about how many plastic ziploc bags you go through with kids or if you take your lunch/snacks to work every day. If you had a handful of these around, you wouldn't go through quite so many!

I'll be posting more designs as I get them completed. I'm still trying to figure out pricing so check back soon for more info!
