Re-Usable Sandwich WrappersHi all, just thought I'd share a link i just found, which i thougfht was a rather good idea!http://thesmallobject.com/stenopad/wordpress/?p=1263 As soon as I can get hold of some the vinyl fabric I'll be giving it a go. Although I'm not convinced it'd work for anything leaky, like pickled beetroot... |

It is quite neat isn't it 
Pity I can't sew

I like that but I can't see my 11 year old thinking it acceptable in the 'cool' sense if you know what I mean

I could see my son likeing it for himself, but then loosing it after the other kids thought he was a bit strange |

Aye, I think it would rate pretty low on the 'Coolness Factor Scale' of our thirteen year old rugby-playing boy. However, it would be good for girlies I should imagine. |

It looks very pretty but what's wrong with a plastic bag that you wash and reuse? (theoretically what we do but DH keeps forgetting to bring back the bags
Or greaseproof or waxed paper. As far as I remember in the dim and distant past when I was very young (the late 50s to early 60s) we went on many picnics to the seaside without a plastic bag in sight Susan (who now feels very old  )

PUL will do the job - you can usually get it in small quanities (sometimes by the fat quarter) on ebay, or from those nappy sellers that also do MIY findings 
And although it may stain - a pul bag will usually contain beetroot quite nicely

Nothing whatsoever! I just thought this might be a more hardwearing alternative. i often take salads or leftovers, so a lunchbox is what i most often use, but sarnies tend to rattle around in those so i thought this'd be good for sarnie days. I'm wondering if the fused plastic bags ( http://forum.downsizer.net/viewtopic.php?t=24117&highlight=fusing ) could work for this? |

I might have to send Paul to work with one  He'd love it!

I just pick a near sandwich sized tupperware. If it's a wee bit small then a bit of squeezing does the job and if it's a wee bit too large it's an excuse to pad it out with a chocolate biscuit or two (purely to stop it rattling of course) |
