What are they? Bags that you can put wet things in to keep your unwet things dry. I originally stumbled upon wet bags on some cloth diapering blog and thought they could have multiple uses, and they wouldn’t be too hard to make. Actually, once I figured out how to do a zipper that actually zipped, it only took 30 minutes! A personal best.

I found a great free tutorial here at Little Birdie Secrets. I’m pretty proud of doing my first zipper. It really wasn’t too hard.  The key was to use a walking foot instead of the zipper foot, so the vinyl didn’t get caught.

The vinyl on the inside of these bags has a little bit of insulation to help keep cold things cool and warm things warm.  They are perfect for holding snacks and drinks, or wet swimsuits. I’m sure anyone with a kid would not have a hard time thinking of things to put inside. They might even be good for holding your liquids when traveling. The best part is that they are washable and reusable.  Go green.
