With...The bag would be different and unlined then. Without having to write out an entirely different tutorial, the quick answer is to cut the piece height an inch or two higher and fold it down facing the wrong side instead of where the outer & inner bags are stitched together at the top edge. That would be how you would make the casing for a single layer bag. Note that the raw edges of seams would be visible on the inside, but PUL doesn't fray so it's just an aesthetic issue.Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-87294050003476074972015-04-17T22:08:37.946-04:002015-04-17T22:08:37.946-04:00These bags look very nice and I am looking forwar...These bags look very nice and I am looking forward to making some. My question is. I have printed Eco Pul so ,I don't need the cotton print layer. Could you tell me how to modify it so I would be finished after sewing the pul?

So.. I made six of them this week for Teacher Appreciation and filled them with treats for her main teacher and her "extra" teachers (music, gym, art, etc) and they all seemed to really love them. They turned out super cute. :) I had my daughter write thank you tags that I threaded onto the ribbon before I sewed it together, which turned out well, if anyone is ever gifting them! <br /><br />(I made mine with regular PUL, not Eco-PUL, and thus turned the non-shiny side towards the inside. It's not wipeable but I didn't want to put food directly on them anyway, so I just throw hers in the wash when it starts getting icky. And the best part is that I am finally using up some of my stash of PUL left over from my diaper-sewing days..)Kishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628967079325906070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-5627474246668811522014-03-27T16:52:56.228-04:002014-03-27T16:52:56.228-04:00That is so wonderful to hear!

It was easy for me to follow. I just finished making one today. I didn't have any grosgrain ribbon on hand, so I made bias tape out of that same fabric and it worked perfectly. I also found it to be big enough to double as a lunch bag, so I took some of the same fabric and made a matching sandwich bag with a velcro closure to put in it. I am thinking of making a few more for my kids to use.

Usually when using it for things like cloth diapers you want the shiny side to be the "wrong" side and not show, but for snack bags (when you want them to be wipeable), you want the shiny side to be the side you can see when finished.Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-80855389204870719562013-08-30T21:33:13.570-04:002013-08-30T21:33:13.570-04:00Cheryl.
