Handmade Cutlery Bags

NYZ - Ning, Yann & Zen

I consider cutlery bag an essential traveling item so I can keep the cutlery set safe and clean. It is useful for  kids who take their meals in school and adults who dine out regularly. Other than the reasons that it is more eco-friendly  and hygienic, I just do not enjoy eating with disposable cutlery. 

Every Saturday, my girls and I have to eat  in the car or at their learning centre  when we have to rush from one class to the other. The restaurants which I usually buy our food always supply me with flimsy plastic disposable cutlery. I think it is wasteful to dispose them after single use and I do not like to eat with them anyway. I used to pack our cutlery sets by wrapping them in serviette and threw them inside my bag. In fact, that was not a good idea. My daughter Zen stays back after school for curriculum activity every Wednesday. She has her lunch in school and need a proper storage for her cutlery set. Therefore, making cutlery bags for the family is something that I have been thinking about since last year.

I like the natural appearance of unbleached materials. For this project, I use unbleached cotton, laces and even the twine for the draw string. They are all natural and free from chemical bleach and dye -  ideal for storing cutlery or food item.
