Lisa,
The sandwich wrap project is meant to be helpful and create less waste on a daily basis. I hope, as with any project, you make it work for you and tailor it to your own familly's needs and desires. If you are wary of PUL or other plastics, please don't use them. I've used the plain organic cotton canvas snack sacks in the 1st photo and the food stayed fresh until lunch.

So I read the comments about nylon and they didn't have good things to say about the PUL either. Are you still comfortable with the PUL?

Oh how I miss the first day of school. My boys are now men, but I still love to think of new binders, pencils, rulers, etc. What lunchbox is the best? I think they boys had Spiderman, Batman and Knight Rider. Thanks for the memories. Deb @ www.drinkingpinkstars.blogspot.com

Thanks for finding the reusable sandwich baggies. I need to find some manly fabric for my husband. I make his lunch everyday. Our little one isn't out of diapers yet. Thanks again.

I WOULD be making re-usable lunch sacks, except I do not have a book yet. I really NEED to win that book, OK? I am sewing recycled wool today, so I thought about you. I'll be putting my stuff into my flickr account.

Hi TIna,
Please make sure you read the comments on that 2nd tutorial re: nylon.

Hooray for reusing!

I just made both boys lunches tonight for the first time. I had to use a few ziploc bags. Boo! Because I haven't made the time to make some snack bags yet even though I have all of the supplies. I am determined to do that this week! I'm going to use the 2nd tutorial that you linked to. That looks exactly like what I had in mind. I'm using the ripstop nylon instead of PUL because I've read that PUL isn't proven to be food-safe but the ripstop nylon is.

I love that Lunch Tote! My hubby takes his lunch every day, mostly in various sizes of mason jars, and I think he would like something to replace his ugly black bag. You never know with men though, sometimes the old black bag is what they need. :)

I love the lunch bag, and those snack bags are so cute! I'm packing lunches for a preschooler this year, and I ran across a website for cutting down on lunch waste: http://www.wastefreelunches.org/ It's amazing how much kids put in the garbage everyday!

I am so impressed with the re-usable lunch/snack bags and totes! Brilliant! This is something I want to do, too and I think my husband would love this idea as well.

My son starts Junior Kindergarten soon and I feel those butterflies!

I don't have anyone in the house going back to school this year, but I remember the butterflies.
And the tears (mine) in
Grade one. Nice bags;)
