    Thanks for the update Tracey, I love the pictures of the hand cranks, I’m afraid I’d be guilty of sewing in time to the music

    Hi Tarrogan ,

    I must admit that when I first started sewing morsbags I used to worry that my seams were too big, too small, or that I was putting the handles in wrong…. In truth it doesn’t really matter as long as the bag is strong and useable, and that there’s a label on it.
    Have you watched the video that Offcuts posted? It really is a case of a picture saves a 1000 words….. Do what feel comfortable / right for you…. Good luck x

    Hi Gudrun, you’re doing a great job so far, well done.

    As far as kits are concerned I think you’ve seen from the answers already that there is no right and wrong to do it. Whatever works best for you.
    I’ve always ironed the folds into the top of the bag first and the handles, but it does depend on how many people you have helping you and how many people you are expecting to make a bag. Offcuts way of cutting out the bag from scratch works very well if you have plenty of room and someone to help you.
    I usually suggest people pin/ wonder lip handles in place if they’re a beginner as it helps keep fingers away from the needle, but again that is personal preference.
    As others have said a good selection of colours / different patterns is usually a good idea, but obviously not always possible.
    The main thing to remember is to have fun and enjoy it, and let people learn at their own pace, there’s nothing more off putting than someone standing over you when you’re trying to learn something new.
    It’s also an unofficial morsbag tradition for people to ring a bell when they’ve completed a bag :-), it’s a good way of generating interest as people want to know what the bell is for.
    It’s also useful to have a few part made bags to hand so people can see each step, as lots of people are visual learners like me.

    I’m aiming to make at least one bag a day during April, and will keep them for may 4th handout…. Miss Evie’s school is closed on that day for May Day but I will ask if I can put them in the staff room that week…. Ive not done a school handout since she started in September so fingers crossed.

    Brilliant, I’m finally organised enough to be back on board… All be it at a much reduced speed due to other commitments…. I’m aiming for a bag a day in April
