Away from Plastics

Hubby and I are on a journey to cut down on the plastics we use. One way we are cutting down is to bake our own bread and store it in washable, reusable linen bags. I picked up a yard of 100% linen at a local craft store with a 50% off coupon so it was less than $7.00. I didn't even use a pattern, just cut to a bread loaf size and did some sewing.
Apparently linen has been used for centuries to store baked goods. A home made loaf will store in the linen bag for a few days, then whatever is not used can be stored in the freezer or made into croutons, puddings, soup thickeners and the like.
I made two bags in less than 15 minutes and still have plenty of linen left for other projects. Maybe an apron, or a travelers notebook cover!
