I went straight home and made a couple that evening, in case we have another unfortunate wet and messy incident. And I liked them so much that I decided to make some for my shop.
I use Mexican Oilcloth, for two reasons. Firstly, because I love the bright loud colours and prints, and secondly, it is waterproof so you can stash wet or dirty items in the pouch, and then just give it a rinse afterwards and it's as good as new. Very eco-friendly!
I made these with parents in mind, for wet and soiled modern cloth nappies (diapers), burp cloths and bibs, wet clothes after toddler accidents, and wet swimsuits. They are really handy when you are out and about, and a nice alternative to putting items in a plastic bag.
They have been popular in the first few days I've had them listed so I've just added some more, including my personal favourite - this gorgeous silver cherry one:
You can find them in my shop here. I have already made a custom sized wet bag for one customer so if you are after a particular size let me know!
I love the fabrics you've used. So bright and happy.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!!! Great fabrics :D
ReplyDeleteI need a huge one for Jimmy so I can just put *him* in it and zip it up to his neck! How is sewing with oil cloth? The same as laminate?
ReplyDeleteI think I agree with that moxie girl, I just need one to put Max in.
ReplyDeleteDo you need a non stick foot to sew with oil cloth? The bags are gorgeous and a fantastic idea!
Where do you find Mexican oilcloth?
