Barnsley Blog Bags - part 2

8th September 2018

Talking to someone this week and it became clear there seems to be some confusion on what I actually make so I've re-posted this post I first wrote a while ago.

I've been interested in upcycling/recycling for a while now and a few years ago when I've first started blogging, any old curtains, duvet covers would go to make Morsbags

Q) What is a Morsbag?
A) Fabric bags made from fabric which might end up in landfill, which is then used to make a reusable, original, recycled, washable, strong morsbags that will last for years, these bags are given away for free. 

Not heard of Morsbags, here is a link to the website - http://www.morsbags.com/ 

Anyway now we are living in Barnsley  I'm going to start making bags again,  my pod name on the Morsbags website is Barnsley Blog Bags, so I've created a facebook page if anyone wants to see the bags I will be making

So, a quick summary...

Fabric I buy, I make items to sell for my business Solstice Days - my online shop

I recycle curtains and duvet covers and donated fabrics to make Morsbags - http://www.morsbags.com/   

Any fabric left from making Morsbags is made into purses for the Sew Powerful Purse Project - http://sewpowerful.org/sew-powerful-purse-program-overview/ 


have a good weekend
