As an attempt to reduce the amount of bags in my plastic holder, I watched this tutorial from Make Magazine, and decided to try making my own version of Tyvec. During my first attempt at sewing the plastic fabric I broke the needle on my sewing machine, which prompted the the question of how to “weld” the seams of the fabric together to make a waterproof bag.
These are my first attempts and resemble envelopes or coin purses. They are perfect for keeping small electronics safe from water in any bag, or for mailing letters! In the future I will enlarge and elongate this envelope pattern to construct a waterproof baguette holder—a necessity to transport bread on the wettest days!
