When fossicking around in by cupboards I do often come across the occasional gem.
Now, once upon a time I did consider this roll of plastic useless but kept it just in case I found a use for it. The plastic with paper is meant for covering books but I never used it because I preferred the contact type. I can’t even remember how I became owner of this roll, but do know that I never purchased it.
Needing protection for my hand sewing while away on holidays later this month, I realised I needed some sturdy plastic bags to keep my projects sorted and safe from the elements when caravaning.
Having also found a pile of zips stashed away from a past life, I then proceeded to make five plastic storage bags that vary from 12 1/2” to 19” long. They are all 12 1/4” wide. The one in the image above is 15” long.
I am rather happy with getting these sewn up this afternoon, because time is fast running out with the holiday date not far away now…..said rubbing my hands together gleefully!
Happy sewing!

Great idea! Just goes to show you must hang onto everything......'cos one day you are going to need it ;)
I guess we should never throw things out. Have a nice holiday.
Great idea! I knew there was a reason I never throw anything away!
What a wonderful idea. It shows us that nothing is going to waste. A purpose will always be found.
