Tuesday Tutorials - Insulated Bags

Getting your groceries home and keeping things cold in the summer months can be quite a challenge. Carrying a cooler in your vehicle can be quite cumbersome too so.... to help us all, I'm sharing some insulated cooler bags you can make yourself.

The instructions for this first one can be found at sewmamasew.com I love how big this one is too.




This one is a little different, and is to be used mainly as a lunch bag, but I can see where it would work for transporting smaller things or even made larger. Instructions can be found at jembellish.blogspot.com



Here's another nice big bag, instructions can be found at... sew4home.com The outside pockets are nice!



Here's to keeping our foods cool and at safe temperatures this summer.

Thanks for joining us!

Organize --- DIY Organizers

I found these DIY organizers that look like they would be easy to make.

I love this organizer closet shelf from Ana White.   You will find the plans to make it on her blog and I love the idea of using pre-made shelfs.

 

I am definitely going to do this.   Our cutting boards are taking up a drawer that could be used for other things.   Tikkido.com


Here is a nifty way to store jewelry in your closet from Maillardville Manor.






Thanks for visiting today.
