capri sun pouches-how to prepare them for sewing

[motherofmolly]

okay, got the kids pouches...figured i would make a use out of them...but how do you clean them?

[JulieDB]

I don't know but... What do you make them into?

[motherofmolly]

capri sun bag

this would be a cute grocery sack!. they do purses, wallets, bags, book covers, pencil pouches, etc. i think just about anything if you put your mind to it.

i just cant figure out if i should put a slit on the bottom (by the back) and drain there and then rinse it. or what?

[motherofmolly]

well i got my answer...i kept googling it and found that you should slit the bottom and drain and wash that way...

well maybe this will help someone else!

LOL, I was just about to post that. Be sure you dry them out completely, otherwise they get a mildewy smell... I tried to rush it the first time. lol

but remember ' RESPECT THE POUCH' lol...

Interesting.

you should make a coupon organiser thingy!!! you can use that tough plastic type stuff like old tab dividers or those plasticky folders for school that hold up well. they sew well for the divider parts

gotcha!! wouldnt want some big old "object" floating around in my bag !!

and saversavory i thought coupon organizer too....or along the same lines you can make little boxes out of them and put fun fabric on the inside if you want....
