Hi Mandi, I applaud your idea. We simply wash out our zip loc bags and reuse at least once and wash again. The bags dry quickly – magnet on side of your frig. Ta da!

Surprisingly easy and a very cute way to use small pieces of cute fabrics! Wonderful idea, thank you so much. I’m going to try and make more and gift them to friends with snacks in 🙂

Hi Victoria! Stasher silicone bags are freezer safe. I used them in the freezer. If you are looking for a fabric idea to reuse, you may want to try sandwich wraps instead of bags, so all corners are closed up with no air getting in. They are usually 14×14 square with velcro or make the bags a little longer and put the velcro lower so the flap folds all the way down reducing air into the bag. You can also stack them in a freezer safe glass container in the freezer as well. A little more time to open, grab, and close, but not too much. PUL is freezer safe as well, but make sure it has been certified foodsafe, not all PUL fabric is made the same.

Totally loving how you personalized this reuseable sandwich bags with some embroidery sewing! The colors just pop and the theme is super fun! Actually, I recently purchased a Brother XM2701 sewing machine and learning new things.

In reply to Megan B. I know it’s nearly a year later but I thought I’d comment in case anyone else has the same question because I did at first too! but since you are costing both pieces of the fabric on the “right” sides(the front patterned side of the fabric) and then sewing both pieces right sides together and turning out, the “right” side of each piece of fabric will be both the outside and inside of the pouch, meaning the vinyl will also be on the inside and outside of the pouch. I hope this explanation helps a little!

Loved this idea. When I went to the link for the vinyl and looks like it is not BPA free.

In reply to Megan B. I think most things I have read say to put it on the outside but I personally put it on the inside, because I think thevinyl cleans better than the cloth. So I kerp the cloth on the outside. Note: make sure if you are using iron on vinyl that you buy the food safe stuff. Pellon 875 is food safe, or you can use Babyville PUL material which is also food safe.
