Daily Productivity: Tuesday

Sorry you didn't hear from me yesterday, but I was so stuffed from dinner at Jean and Nick's that I couldn't remember words. Anyways, when Wes read my last post he said, "Are you taunting your readers?" Uhhhhmm. . .

That's right I'm taunting you. Keeps you on your toes. I decided that maybe you could use a day off from being insulted. Don't say I'm never kindhearted.

A month or so ago I made one of these reusable sandwich wraps that I saw on The Small Object. I use them for Cash's snacks while we're out and about, but it seems like he always decides he's in need of food while I'm driving. So I end up trying to drive, unfold the wrap, and hand cheddar bunnies back like there's no tomorrow. Then we run out and drama ensues. You think I'd just learn to pack more snacks.

So I had the idea to make more of a ziploc-style reusable snack container. That way I wouldn't have to mess with unfolding the flaps every time, and Cash could hold it by himself. I used some flannel-backed tablecloth material, but I'm so leery about PVC, so I'd like to try it with a more natural material (Can you sew stainless steel?). I just saw an edit on the original Small Object post saying that maybe canvas would be a good idea because it's durable and you could throw it in the washer. There you have it. Problem solved.

The opening to this bag is so tiny, I had a miserable time trying to sew the top hem. Anyone have any ideas on how to do that? It's ridiculous the amount of time it took me.

Well, you won't hear from me about Wednesday's productivity. It wasn't very productive. I basically swatched a bunch of knits, trying to find a good combination for a fall/winter hat for Cash. I've tried this about a hundred times, but, really, I just need to go buy a few new needles sizes. I'm so lazy! Until then. . .
