How To Sew A Reusable Wipeable Sandwich Bag, Back To School DIY 2020

[@alyssacarvalho5795]

Lovely, Catherine! I LOVE eco-friendly alernatives to all the single-use plastic. Your fabric choices are so pretty too!

[@shevahauser1780]

I love her pattern choices aswell, but do you know where to get oil fabric?

[@rathgrith554]

I’m also glad you’re back. 😊 I’m in the US and it’s a dumpster fire over here these days. Your videos are uplifting and clever, thank you for providing such wonderful content!

[@larag1764]

Yep, they're pinking shears but I will now be calling them 'picking shears' with a Dublin accent ! Any or all would make lovely gifts. Great to see Blondie totally disregarding Health n Safety in the workplace !! My cat also sits on / in whatever I'm doing. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia xx 😻😻

[@Poppy-]

Again, well done Catherine. All useful things. I'm trying to avoid plastic and cellophane as much as I can. I don't like reusable silicone either (muffin cups, sandwich bags, collapsible coffee/tea cups) as there's always an aftertaste. The pencil case is genius.

[@leighsanchez481]

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful, perfect for the children to use at school. Great for the adults too.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Leigh! X

[@desireemarana4997]

First of all, you’re absolutely adorable!😍. I am addicted to KZbin! I’d rather surf KZbin than TV! I stumbled upon your channel and just love you! This is such a cute idea for kids snacks! And as soon as I watch a KZbin video on how to thread my machine I’m going to make these for my grandson and great niece!! Thank you!

[@ellascottagecompany2044]

OMG you read my mind! Except edit out the colorful language 😁 “WTheck can I do to not use so much of this cellophane...” then my brain usually gets stuck on pause and you can hear little birdies. That’s as far as I got. So thank you as always, will have to give this a go. Brilliant as always. 💕-tammy

[@DaintyDiaries]

😁 Thank you so much sweetheart, I am guilty of the plastic wrap x You are not alone, but every little helps x

[@glendacox6540]

Practical. Cute. Earth friendly. Yay!❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Glenda ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferkirrane2276]

I’ve been making these for a while 😊 I use food safe PUL fabric for the lining instead of oil cloth. A Teflon foot is much cheaper than a walking foot if your going to use oil cloth xx

[@DaintyDiaries]

Great tips ❤️ thanks for sharing

[@kathykimsey4019]

Hi. FYI, Just did some checking on PUL fabric that has been mentioned. There are different types of PUL fabric, so make sure the fabric you use is labeled food safe.

[@jenniferkirrane2276]

Kathy Kimsey yes I use food safe PUL, it costs a little more but it’s worth it in the long run x

[@karencurtis2697]

Bless you , I remember get my first school uniform I was 11 because back in the olden days 🤣😂you didn't have a uniform till then , but during the summer holidays I tried it on everyday, really thought I was the bees knees. I love these bags and I'm going to make some for keeping my spare mask and gloves in , I always take spares with me and used a plastic bag .... I love this idea and easy to wipe with antibacterial wipes . Hope your doing ok stay safe stay well xxx

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw I remember getting a new uniform and wanting to try it on, and the feeling of the first day when you had new shoes and socks 🙌🏼😂

[@karencurtis2697]

Dainty Diaries I remember walk with my head down watching my new shoes and walking into a lamppost and breaking my glasses, glasses held with tape great look 😩

[@dearlymonica]

Such a lovely project Catherine! They are perfect for my kids (they LOOOOVVVVEEEE sandwiches!). Can't wait to give them a try! Thank you so much for sharing, I always love to see your tutorials! :)

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Great idea the bags . In Germany we have paper sandwich paper and/or bags.. It can then be put in paper recycle.. And we use sandwich Tupperware to.. Which is very flat and fits sandwiches and wraps so they done fall apart. Also tinfoil is better than cellophane .. As it is recyclable!

[@Mallory198617]

I love your sewing videos! Because of them I started to sew myself:-)

[@DaintyDiaries]

Happy sewing ❤️❤️❤️

[@teresastorms3774]

These bags are precious! I use a paper planner and I have a plethora of pens that would love such a cute bag to live in!

[@AliciaFerrer-p6m]

You are so talented young lady. Thank you for sharing your skills. I learned some steps. Take care.

[@barbaramccoy3592]

Wow! Thanks loads for this. No little ones to send off to school but I am trying to find lovely and useful things to make for Christmas gifts and this looks very promising. You even taught this old sewer a new trick for sewing zippers! As someone said, “genius.” Best.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh great idea for a Christmas gift ❤️

[@marquesn77]

7 people buy their lunch at work 🥴 I loved this video! I’m a new sewer and this is a great project - thank you !!

[@ginafriend1690]

Cute bags for those who Sew!

[@jayxsunflower2876]

If I saw Cath Kidston on the pencil cases ide totally believe they were!! So pretty and professional 😊👍🏻

[@AimsysAntics]

What a fab idea! I've never used oilcloth before, but now I know what I can make with it. So much better than using cling film. Looking forward to seeing how the beeswax wraps turn out, I've been wanting to give them a go too. xoxo

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching Sweetheart ❤️❤️ I hope you have a lovely weekend

I've made the beeswax wraps and I love using them. I wrap my cabbages and veg in them for the refrigerator and they're great. I want to make some sandwich and snack bags with beeswax next, so this video was good inspiration for me to get it done.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching, I love the sound of your bees wax wraps x

[@fifisflowers]

Love all your sewing projects.If you have time could you have a go at making a round floor pouffe with either a zipper or flap enclosure ? I figured it could be stuffed with any fabric gear that is piling up whilst our charity shops are still closed.? You look as tho your mini break has refreshed you Love your creativity and inspiration. Thanks

[@gill2292]

I loved the video. Gorgeous cases. I"d especially love to make the pretty pencil case for my diabetic daughter who carries her supplies in a not-so-cute store bought case. I did like your sewing machine. I recently bought a Singer Starter sewing machine hoping I could make masks with it but had to return it the next day as I could not figure out the reason why the bobbin thread kept jamming! So I ended up hand sewing about 25 Jesse Masks (complicated!) with interface filter for my US and UK family. It took forever! I would love to know what your recommendations are for a basic very easy sewing machine and perhaps if you could possibly do a video on how to do simple machine troubleshooting. Also what would oil fabric be called in the US. Thank you

[@alisonboardmanjackson1885]

I was having the same problem and after watching tons of videos, I learnt it was because the threads that you have a start of the machine that you lay to the back of the machine were being pulled back into it, so they were all getting jammed. Evelyn wood on KZbin has some great troubleshooting videos. I also watch a lot of the singer videos for help too

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thread jamming is really common and it’s normally down to the machine not being threaded correctly, for a long time I didn’t have mine threaded correctly and I would get birds nests. I cover all the basics in my sewing course, you’ll find thay on my website. I actually use the basic singer sewing machine and once I mastered the basics I didn’t have any issues with it ❤️❤️❤️

[@tinamc2820]

Great instructional video! Love your fabric🥰

At the beginning of spring I’ve bought beeswax and jojoba oil in attempt to make my own food wrap... still waiting on my “to do” list!!! Ta for the oil cloth sandwich bags, another added into my “to do” list x

Good luck making your bees wax wraps! ❤️

[@eileenchambers4253]

Great tutorial Catherine, what a great idea , I'm back to school in September, not as a pupil 😀 , but as a playworker, doing breakfast ,lunch and after school club , I've been away since march due to health and being adviced to shield and then summer hols came along and the school finally closed, so I'm looking forward to going back and seeing my little munchkins after so long, it's going to be so weird, but I hope everything goes alright , anyway hope you are ok and looking forward to watching more of your vlogs especially since autumn is round the corner ❤️🍁🍂

These are super cute. Oh hello there blondie. Yes we use reusable bags as well. ( same brand as my daughters cloth nappies) but this is a cute idea to stitch up. Love the fabric prints

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw cute! Fair play for using cloth nappies too ❤️❤️❤️

[@aimeyscreations3021]

@@DaintyDiaries yes 2nd baby of 3 wearing them. I say why not add another load or two of laundry a week lol plus they are cute prints like those bags you made.

Lovely projects, with equally lovely fabric choices. 💝 Will definitely be making the baggies, and they are going on my Christmas sewing list too. (Oops, I said the 'C' word in August. 😂) The best part of school starting again was picking stationery! To this day I have not lost my passion for stationery. Passion? Hmmm, probably 'addiction' is a better word.. 😂

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yas to the C word in August, I have been on Pinterest planning Christmas lol x

So pretty! How did you make sure that oilcloth is foodsafe? Is there a special label? On the other hand: did you consider making/using bee`s was cloth?

[@carolbarnes5736]

Hi Catherine, I am a little confused, are you referring to the wipe clean table cloth fabric, is this oil cloth? Love these wraps. I made another style using plastic carrier bags but they have not held up in the washing machine!!

[@hemamittal3059]

Hi, I’m from California USA. I love your tutorials and the fabric designs that you use. Where did you purchase these beautiful floral fabrics from? Can you share the link?

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Catherine these are so nice. You made a more chunky zipped case which it could be used for a make up case .lovley fabrics so pretty.you are veru clever. I see blondie joined you was he wanting you to make him a case for his biscuits? Lol.

[@loramartinez2062]

There is foot attachment called a teflon foot which you can buy on ebay or amazon. This foot is made especially for sewing over oil cloth if the viewers are interested.

Thank you for sharing Lola x

You could make purses too

[@SherBear88]

When you say oil cloth, are you actually using beeswax treated fabric for making the food bags because here in America, I can’t find oil cloth but I can’t find the beeswax sheets.

[@traveledtexan]

Loved the French hem. I wish I could match fabric like you. The flower fabric I find is just not very delicate.
