Knit or Sew Your Own Bags
Happy December, everyone!!
I recently needed a few more toy bags to contain the toy clutter madness. (There is a special place reserved in Hades for inventors of toys for small children with more than 20 pieces. Other than Legos.) A bit of searching turned up dozens of tutorials, but here are my favorite.
Sewing bags is fast and easy. I’ve used everything from old diaper flats (toddler adventure bags) to fancy boutique store fabric (knitting project bags).
Knitting a bag is a bit more work, but worth the effort. My recent favorite is a knitted and felted bag that fits our glasslock containers, perfect for a toddler lunch since the wool insulates and protects the glass from bumps.
