popcorn to go bag...

I love to make cute and practical things.  Things that get worn, used, and serve a purpose.  I realized today that what I love most is being able to make something on the fly because there is an actual need that has just popped up.  Since we've moved and don't have a microwave, I've been making popcorn the old fashioned way like my Dad used to make.  Pot on the stove with olive oil.  He used to dump the popcorn into a brown paper bag, add the melted butter and salt and shake to bag around to get all the goodness distributed.  News flash is that the popcorn tastes a million times better than the microwave stuff and eliminates the trash of the microwave bag.  I'm guessing it's way better for you too.  

So we're off to a soccer game and because I'm thrifty, we made our own popcorn.  Ready to toss in the bag when I realize I have no brown paper bags.  I'm off and sewing a popcorn bag.  Looks cute, gets used, and serves a purpose.  Another plus, is you toss it in the laundry and its ready to go next time... no trash.   I can see this going to the beach, picnics, basketball games, the movies in my "movie purse" (which is a bag big enough for a bag of popcorn, some candy, and a few sodas).   



It's a simple bag with box corners at the bottom, a simple hem around the top that can be tied closed.
