Burda Style For people who sew

Description

What is a wet bag you ask? A bag with a waterproof lining to hold damp or moist stuff. Like wet bathingsuits, sweaty gym clothes or used cloth diapers when you travel. I needed a few of these and so I set out to make some of differing sizes which are hopefully non-wicking. They look pretty water-sturdy to me at least. :-) Two travel wetbags with zippers and one wet bag duffle style cut to measure for a diaper pail.

These, again, are almost all recycled material, right down to the drawstring and zippers. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough waterproof anything to make waterproof lining, so I went out and bought a huge 12 euro white vinyl showercurtain for the lining of these bags (and some other projects).

The duffle bag was made out of Ikea curtain material. I couldn’t believe I managed to make it into a bag, it was so stiff! But it was a polyester-nylon mix and it worked, so it has double the waterproofing power. :-)

The patterns on the zippered wetbags are just cutouts ironed on with double sided interfacing and then embroidered. Plain colour bags were boring and ugly so I thought the stencils would look nicer.
