For those making the snap bags -- I was at the San Antonio quilt show this weekend and stopped by Dollar Tree on my way home. I found a 16' tape measure that is 5/8" wide for $1.00. I can't believe the extra 1/8th would make a difference, and $1.00 is my kind of price. I need to find a pattern on the internet for these -- I know I saw one a while back. Think I'll make them for a quilt retreat I am going to in a couple of weeks where we are supposed to bring a couple of gifts.
What I will do is pull the whole tape out of the holder and cut it off, so I won't lose the tail back into the housing.
