Learn to sew with recycled materials – Plastic Zipper Bag class
Plastic is everywhere. Have you ever noticed how much of our goods come packaged in disposable plastic material that is not recycle friendly? Cheese, granola bars, chips, toilet paper and many other foods and household goods all come packaged in a thin plastic material. Come learn how to repurpose plastic food wrapping and other disposable plastic packaging! In this class, Rachel will teach you how to turn any plastic food wrapping into reusable zipper bags. These are perfect for gifts, and great to use for travel, hiking and backpacking. With the addition of rip-stop nylon for the lining, these little zipper bags are perfect wet proof bags to store hiking snacks or doggie treats in too!
