I've made something similar only with a potholder and snack bags, I use it for storing my needles, thimble and threads. I sewed a button on the opposite side of the hanging loop of the potholder so I could close it.

Tip, when sewing the plastic bags, use a longer stitch length, if it's too small, it'll perforate and the bags will tear out. Zig Zag stitch would work too.
