A few months ago I asked for a bread machine on Free Cycle, and I got one! It works perfectly, and I have been making wonderful whole wheat bread all the time ever since.
I have found that the bread doesn't like plastic bags, and does best wrapped in a dish towel. So, I took apart two of the pistachio bags and combined them to make a bread bag!
I also tried the Overcasting Stitch on my Janome Horizon to stitch the bag, which works great! I have had the machine for close to two years, and have not used any of the specialty feet. I have resolved to go through the book and try each one.
Anyway, here are some pics of my Pistachio Bread bags. I plan to make a baguette bag as well, by sewing two of the bags end to end.
Excellent idea, I can never keep the bags around long enough to do this, my kids use them for everything :D What I did discover is tea towels work wonderfully as a bread bag or as gift bags :)
ReplyDeleteTea towels at a good idea too! In fac,t fabric scraps in general would make great gift bags. I had not thought of gift bags at all! Thank you Christina for a timely Christmas idea!
