Great work, Nicky and the HopStitchers!
How nice to be able to hand morsbags out again 😀
Congratulations on getting to the 1000 bags milestone – or as I like to think of it, one kilomors.That’s great to hear Jacki. I’m so pleased you had fun, with lots of sewing and enthusiasm on all sides 😀
How did the Christmas Fair go, Jacki? I hope your tent wasn’t swept away in the winter gales and torrential rain last weekend.
Hi rnlorna, I’m very glad you love your morsbags and hope that you will be able to give some away when they are labelled!
I’ll bring your question to the attention of the label department. Have you registered a pod and if you have what is its name?
I think there is a separate arrangement for labels for the US.I’m so sorry I deleted your post under “Dates for Diaries”. We get a bit of spam and I mis-identified it (whoops!)
Happy birthday Lindy Loo! Hope you’re having fun morsbagging. It’s a great idea to give an extra bag to each friend to give away too. 😀
That’s good news!
Please post on here as well Tracy. I’ve gone right off facebook for some reason.I’m glad you’re sending lots of labels out Anne. I’ve noticed that pod registrations have started to pick up again. Maybe we’re gradually coming out of Covid depression, now we might actually be able to give morsbags away once more.
Hi Lindy Loo and welcome! 😀
All the ways and places to give out bags that you mention are fine and are excellent for a bigger group that produces a lot of bags.
As I understand it, Pol Morsman’s original idea to distribute morsbags was “guerrilla bagging”, where morsbaggers make some bags and give them out to shoppers in their local High Street. This doesn’t suit everyone, in every situation (especially in times of Covid…) so people find other ways of getting bags into shoppers’ hands.
You can give bags out as and when it suits you and to anyone who goes shopping, or needs a bag that isn’t plastic to carry their stuff around (files to college, lunch to work, PE kit to school).
Some other methods to distribute a few bags –
Give one each to friends / members of a choir / any group that you belong to.
Post a bag through each letterbox of a group of houses or a short street.
Put a morsbag under the windscreen wipers of cars in a nearby car park.
Have an extra morsbag with you when you go shopping to give to someone who needs one.I’m sure you will think of places that you go to where you can give someone a bag. I find the main problem is convincing them that it’s free and that I’m not allowed to take any money for it. I use that slight feeling of guilt it induces in the recipient to persuade them that they can repay me by using it and not leaving it in a drawer, or wherever, not being used.
Any more ideas for one person to give bags away?
