Save food with a reusable sandwich wrap

reusable sandwich wrap.jpg
In the UK alone, we throw away a shocking 3.6m tonnes of food every year. We're terrible at keeping our food fresh (particularly salads and bread, it seems) so anything that encourages sensible food storage can only be a good thing.

This simple pattern makes a pretty pouch that will keep your sarnies fresh as you travel to work or school. For kids' lunch boxes you may want to vary the choice of fabric depending on those crucial factors like gender, prefered colours, favourite TV show etc. But the basic design is very easy to follow, even for beginners. You'll need some vinyl coated fabric for the inside, too. [Via Crafty Crafty]

Cool, I really hate to be negative, but can it really keep food fresh like a ziploc bag will? Then I have to wonder about how healthy it is to have vinyl on your food too. Sandwich bags are made of polyethylene. Set me straight, but I think that's less risky to your food than vinyl.
