I originally posted these re-usable snack bags over at Sweet C’s Designs a little over a year ago- and they are still one of my favorite projects.
These snack bags are wonderful for any kid- and are great for people learning to sew (you only need to be able to stitch a straight line).
You can make them in any color, and the food safe fabric I used can be found easily at any Jo-Ann Fabrics in their BabyVille Boutique section (only the inside of the bags needs to be foodsafe unless you want it to be double sided).
To start, you’ll need:
Any kind of washable cotton, canvas, or other material
PUL lining, or any other foodsafe fabric
Cut your fabric and liner into the size bag you’d like. If you want to make an envelope, measure out 1 1/2 times the length of the complete bag height to account for folding. For an easy bag, just make a little more than double the height.
Pin and sew your fabric to your PUL lining. Use a straight stitch.
Next, fold down the tops of the bag, and fold down once more (it helps if you iron the folds to keep them in place). This will give your bag a nice, finished top. Straight stitch along the bottom of the fabric fold to keep in place.
Next, if you have any kind of patch or embellishment (the patch pictured is from Babyville Boutique), iron or sew on. 
Sew velcro to the inside tops of the bag.
Place right sides of bag together (inside out) and straight stitch down the sides of the bag. I like to double stitch the top and bottom of the bags for extra strength.
Turn right side out, and you’re done! Pre-wash your fabric, and then load up your snacks, and show off your cute little baggies! How adorable would these be in a homemade lunch bag? Or in a sweet diaper bag?
