I really took notice of how eco-conscious our friends are when they came to visit us in Lake Tahoe this past summer. After our daily trip to the lake, which always consisted of a picnic lunch of sandwiches, chips, and fruit, they would rinse out the plastic sandwich bags and hang them to dry throughout the kitchen to be used again the next day. Now, I'm all for saving the environment and all by my OCD put me in panic mode with that "trash" laying around the kitchen. To solve the problem and make everyone happy, including Mother Nature, I made some reusable sandwich wraps.
I lined them with plastic so you can wipe them clean with a sponge or throw them into the wash. Sewing the plastic can be a little tricky because it sticks to the machine so I recommend putting a layer of tissue paper over the plastic. Then sew through the tissue and rip the paper away when you're done.
Awesome! You should sell these! Marc washes the plastic bags out too and it makes me crazy. These are much cuter!
