How did we manage to make 3531 bags worldwide last month? It seems such a huge number, made by 50 pods, all composed of people sewing bags in their spare time. I wondered if Pol’s appeal for bags to be given away at the Great British Sewing Bee Live show had spurred anyone else to extra efforts? I know we increased production last month because of it.
The bag-makers in August were –
Notnew Bags
Cuckoobird
Die Nähdamen
Bude Baggers

September 3, 2017 at 9:32 pm #7270Wow. That is a great total. I thought it might be a quiet morsbag making month with it being holiday time!
I’ve pledge 30 for the Sewing Bee Live and have just got a couple more to make to hit my target.September 4, 2017 at 8:47 am #7271You’re right Tori. Usually in August I’m trying to account for the drop in production. Maybe the rubbish weather helped?
September 6, 2017 at 9:43 am #7288The GBSB effect definitely improved my output – 30 bags pledged plus a few more I’ve made for friends and customers. I am only 8 bags away from a round total of 700 now! Keep up the good work everybody – looking forward to meeting up with the morsbags crew at GBSB in a couple of weeks xx
September 6, 2017 at 11:09 am #7289What a fantastic total! 🙂
I know that GBSB helped me make bags in August and the fact that we had a stay at home holiday this year. I could have made more, but am making up kits for GBSB just now.September 9, 2017 at 9:30 pm #7307Thank you for telling us the total again Beatie. Looking down the list of pods I thought I would never come to the end. A wonderful total for August.
