Hi there Ann and Beattie thank you both for your support! Pleased to let you know i made it over the 300 tally on 20th April and now my tally is at #306. Made 4 today. One of them has a pocket with the intended recipient’s name machine embroidered on the pocket. This is the first morsbag i have made with a pocket attached. Thank you Ann for your kind offer there to help with fabric, sadly i am nowhere near leicester, i know there are alot of morsbags being made in Leicester! My reaction the first vaccine dose was so bad i had to get medical assistance, my heart rate shot up consistently to 155bpm at rest! I hope the second dose will have less side effects. Do any of you use an overlocker to make your morsbags? Or do any of you use old handcrank sewing machines 100 year old type? If do, is it worth getting one of these? Keep morsbagging everyone!! Stay safe!!
I have been sewing morsbags for exactly 3 years this week and tried so hard to get to 300 by the exact 3 year anniversary but due to having the first vaccine dose this week i have been too ill with side effects to get to 300 in time! 297 is all i got to!!! Stay safe everyone and keep morsbagging!! How do people source fabric donationsduring a pandemic though? Any ideas as i am running out!
Very inspiring challenge. I did join in sewvember couldn’t manage equivalent of one a day but made up for that in December when i made more to give out at christmas as gift bags for presents. Good top tips as mentioned above.

Hi Beattie ,
likewise nice to hear from you. Yes Sewvrmber has definitely motivated me more to try and sew more than i normally would. I have just made 4 more morsbags today so i am catching up few days left. Yes i saw the post on the facebook page. What pod are you part of Beattie? It is amazing how so many people are all inspired by Sewvember around the world. I started morsbagging in february march time as i received two morsbags from a friend and i checked this website out and then started making them as it is an excellent physio activity for me to get strengths in my legs arms and hands as i have deconditioning of muscles and weak limbs due to FND ( functional neurological disorder – similar to MS but affects central nervous system function). I have only been able to sew on ‘good days’ where pain and fatigue aren’t overpowering me. Morsbagging gives me a purpose and helps me in lots of ways so i shall carry on the morsbagging . Glad to hear i am seen on the lists as you said. Thanks for your further encouragement!
ClaireHi everyone! I am Claire from “Claire Bear Morsbags”. You are all inspiring me to make more morsbags!
Happy to see i am on the list who participated in Sewvember! I did make quite a few but didn’t manage one every day. I did however, make 2 morsbags on the first day of December so i am happy to have contributed two to the 321 other morsbags made on the 1st. I have reached 70 morsbags by 1st December. I will try and make it to 100 as soon as i can. Got my new labels all good to go. Happy December people! Keep on morsbagging! X
