It's nice when you can recycle.

I havent looked yet, but a friend told me that the dollar store carries them.

I am now on my 2nd broken tape measure. You can make some fun things with them.
At a quilt show I talked to an author of several "snappy" patterns. She said she always buys the best tape measures she can get to make her products. Something to think about. |
I think the "quality" difference is in how it is housed and in the retractibility of it, the tape itself (I AM TOLD) is the same. However, I agree it is always better to buy the best quality you can afford.

I had one break once but that was before I knew about snap bags. Hopin' my present one will break sometime so I can use it!
|
Thanks for the thread. I went to the Stitchin Sisters website and they have all kinds of snap bags. Bookmarked for future reference!
|
Have fun! Make one for your son to keep his toys in as a reward :) I may have to make one after hearing about these.

My 5 year old was playing with a 25' measuring tape and sprung the spring inside. Yes, he got scared and came running to mommy, but all I could think of was, Cool, now I do not have to go buy one for some Snap Bags that I want to make. :D Just had to take it apart to roll up the tape measuring tape so that I do not have a pile in my sewing room. Now to get the scraps out and get sewing. To much fun for me....

I am lost. What is it with the broken tape measure and a new bag construction?
