insulated hotdog keeper or something else

This could possibly be the dumbest thing I've ever come

up with. Ya, it's a hot dog keeper AND it's insulated. Here's

how it came to be.

I fix my kids' lunch because I think it's crazy to

pay 6 bucks every day for only two of them to eat school lunch.

Basically we've had to get creative. Seriously, who wants a pb&j

every day of their life?! So I pack soups, salads, spaghetti, and cut

up hot dogs and stick ém in a thermos. It's worked great except hot

dogs don't fit in the thermos unless I chop them up. Then last night

I had an "ah ha" moment. "An insulated hot dog keeper!" Brilliant!!

Well, this is the point of the story that many of you may be thinking

"this chick is weird." I completely understand, but hang in there

cause while I was sewing these up last night, I realized there's

another use for this little pouch. Okay, so if you want to make one

of these hot dog keepers here's what you'll need:

4 cuts of fabric 4"x8" (2 for lining 2 for focus)

2 cuts insul-brite batting 4"x8"(you can find this at Joann's in

the interfacing aisle)

Velcro

Just follow the directions here

And I couldn't resist putting a ruffly thing and buttons on these!

If you want to add a ruffle or buttons attach them to your focus

fabric before you do anything else.
