Win Something Here! It's Give Away Day!















I could also title this post shameless self promotion, but that wouldn't be nearly as catchy. I'm excited because, it’s a big day here at BigGirl… it’s a give-away day!

A chance for you to win something made by me. Yep, yours truly.

I’ve been sewing these bags of late and using them a lot in The Little Miss’ lunch bag. They go to school with her filled with her favorite snacks, nuts, cereal, pretzels, cheese, apples, cookies and anything that I would normally put in a zip lock bag that isn’t too wet. I’ve also been using them for things of my own, my lipsticks, coins, receipts, and jewelry. The uses are endless.

The outside is made from 100% cotton and the lining is 100% food safe water resistant nylon, (most water proof nylon is not food safe.) There are no exposed seams so food or crumbs won’t be caught in the threads. They are completely washable and safe to be tumble dried on low, but really just a good shake and wipe cleans the inside pretty well. I love that I am using these and not throwing as many zip lock bags into the landfill.

The finished pouch is approximately 5x7 and I can custom make them in any size.

You want one you say? Well, leave me a comment and I’ll be giving one away to a lucky randomly picked person. Contest will run until the end of the week.

Didn’t win? I am selling these for $6.50 plus a little for shipping so please convo me by leaving me a comment or you can email me at biggirl65(at)gmail.com

Whatcha think?

What a great idea! I would love to win one.

Did you ever think about opening up a etsy shop (www.etsy.com)? It's such a great idea. I am sure you are going to sell a ton of them. Good luck!

Hi--first time on your blog! These snack bags are super cute--everytime I throw out a baggie, even if I've re-used it a couple of times, I feel guilty! Would love to win and I may have to budget for a custom order!

My husband calls me the "Green Nazi" because I'm all about recycling and conserving natural resources, so I'm excited about the reusable bags!
