wetbag – Page 4

This is the first time EVER that I have been excited about the kids going back to school. Maybe it’s because all of my Florida friends have been posting pics of their cute kids wearing cute backpacks or in their cute classrooms with their cute new teachers. Most likely, though, it’s because my soon-to-be 4th and 7th graders have perfected the art of hovering over me as I work. In fact, these last few sentences have taken 35 minutes to write.

Being a work-at-home mom comes with many challenges, especially in the summer. I’m constantly stopping in the middle of a project to cook a meal, referee an argument, or taking the day off altogether just to get the kids out of the house. I understand how it feels to be bored.

To lighten the situation, I try to sneak in a little handmade gift for my own kids whenever I can’t step away from the sewing machine. Last week I tweaked the wet bag pattern to make my daughter a reusable sandwich bag for her lunchbox.

It’s lined in vinyl for easy cleanup. My favorite thing about this bag is the zipper to help contain the crumbs!

My friend J had been looking for a zippered reusable sandwich pouch, so she ordered a couple for her little boy who started preschool this week. She wanted something that said “back to school” but also said her little guy loves Elmo and instruments. How do you think I did?

It made my day to get this photo from my little buddy:

Hi! Remember me? Sorry I’ve been such a slacker here on the blog! I am going to be a vendor at a local Ladies Night event a week from today and I’ve been so busy creating inventory.

I was trying to be creative and come up with a new item that I thought would be popular among the local families who are super into swim team and hanging out at the pool. What was born was the Wet Bag.

These 9″ x 12″ zippered pouches are lined in vinyl and are perfect for storing damp swimsuits on the way home from the pool or beach! They can also be used for wet accidents during potty training and keeping wet or sticky bibs or burp cloths contained in your diaper bag. Just wipe down the inside and let them air dry!

I love that they are soft and pliable. They easily roll up to fit in a beach bag, diaper bag, your child’s backpack, sports bag or your purse.

I knew that they would be a hit as soon as I made the first one, BUT I didn’t realize how popular they would become as baby shower gifts. Just after posting the preview on my Facebook page, I got three orders for Wet Bags for babies!
