Thank you Rosie! X
Much the same comment was made just yesterday on another website I use. Someone asked “Where is everybody?” and the reply was the same as Odd Handles gave above, it’s a general flight from this sort of forum to “social media”, i.e. facebook, twitter, instagram and so on.I agree Tori, people get some really great ideas for pod names. We’re looking good so far for March’s stats, those bags are just rolling out from under baggers’ sewing machines.
I think of a bad weather day as the ideal morsbagging day too Agwen. I think it’s inspiring to see just haw many bags have been made each month and how many other people are also sewing away, worldwide!
That’s great! I’d noticed The Taylor’s Needle Community adding bags regularly, you’re doing a wonderful job. Please do keep us updated about how you get on distributing morsbags at craft shows, or other places you use.
Whoops, sorry Melissa! I managed to reverse the order of our posts. Every day is a learning day, I won’t do that again!
Hi Melissa! I’m so pleased you found morsbags and have been able to use your daughter’s bolts of cloth to make them. What is the name of your pod?
You’re not alone in finding it difficult to do the classic “guerrilla bagging”. One morsbag maker I know of distributes their bags at regular church book sales. Other pods have been able to give them to local food banks to use. I have no problem with you including a morsbag with purchases with your Etsy shop and at craft shows. You could gradually expand at the craft shows by handing a morsbag to anyone who would like one, regardless of purchase.
Do you have any small independent shops locally? Maybe one of them would like to give out bags for you, provided they understand that they must not be sold, and are to be given to anyone who needs one.
Well done, there are lots of ways of getting morsbags out there!
Hi HazratDeewana! The day when we were all sewing together and adding bags on here as they were made was back in November.
Why have you copied and pasted Tintin’s original post?
Please do update your pod’s tally as you make bags though. Have you registered a pod? What is its name?
Hi Trish, you’re right, the “challenge bags” was for an event last September, and that feature was created for that event. I don’t know if morsbags is going to do it again or not. The event was a great success, but from my point of view the venue suffered from dreadful disorganisation behind the scenes…..
Have you handed out any of your bags yet? Fun, isn’t it? 😀
It’s really in the news at the moment, and not just bags!
I wish I knew why the big migration off this site LoopyChris! Without other people to talk to it’s hard to keep it lively – I’m very pleased you and Agwen replied. I did join Facebook a while ago but only look on there every few days.
Thanks for looking that up Tori. So we even managed to make more bags than at the same time last year – fantastic! 🙂
Thank you Agwen. M/C has just about finished his explorations of the new machine’s problems. It’s now working well, but needs a sharp eye kept on it for “whipping threads” catching on hooks/ wires. The tension arrangements are a bit “not perfected” as it’s a fairly early machine.
What is it about sewing machines? It’s so hard to walk past one in a car boot sale or similar!

Sorry I’ve only just seen your post Trish!
Congratulations on setting up your pod. What a lot you’ve accomplished already 😀
Happy sewing and good luck with the handout in February – what a bit of luck that the date coincides with the WI Coffee Morning alreay organised.
