Sew a simple mesh bag without a zipper, great as reusable produce bags or anytime you use a gallon freezer bag for organizing.
Vacation is coming. I've been singing "Holiday Road" for a couple of weeks now. The Peanut is not amused. And it's almost time to pack. When I pack for The Peanut I use gallon plastic freezer bags. Into each bag goes one complete outfit (top, bottom, socks, undies). One bag per outfit. As many bags as days in our trip
plus two (so a 7 day trip = 9 bags, because you never know). At one point I had thought of labeling them with the days of the week, but then I realized I needed the flexibility to switch a day's outfit based on weather or activity. So unlabeled bags go into the suitcase and each morning I can present two bags and let The Peanut choose her outfit for the day. At the end of the day the used clothes go back into the bag they came out of. Dirty clothes are separated from clean clothes and there's no digging through the bottom of the suitcase to find small socks. But the plastic bags get beat up. And buying new each time adds yet another expense to a trip. It was time for a reusable solution in the form of a simple mesh bag.
Of course these bags could also be used for keeping one's delicates safe in the laundry, containing your unmentionables in your drawer, and gathering your produce at the grocery store or farmers market. However you'd like to use them, you too can make your own zipper-less, drawstring-free mesh bag.
