Hello Lizzi. Do you mean us at Shepton or generally. We brought kits back then had another workshop at home. The bags not given out were also taken home and distributed around several shops in Chipping Sodbury where we are based. Do contact us on Sodburybags Pod if you need any information. We have now made and distributed about 870 bags and love doing it. Regards, Jacki

Hello Beatie. We had a lovely time at Shepton Mallet despite a bit of snow. Fortunately not in a tent but probably just as cold! Many bags given and lots of people took up the opportunity of making their own with precuts.The best part of the event was the way children responded – making their own bag and knowing that they had made a start to reduce the plastic in the world. We are now planning children’s events nearer to home to keep costs down but as a first event it was great.

Oh dear. Are they supposed to be straight!! Seriously, we generally do it by eye from the line of stitching around the top and use handle position to centre. Maybe we wouldn’t pass quality control….

Thanks Everyone. We don’t use an iron – we have stones! Nice big round heavy stones. Great for pressing. Handles are premade in most cases and machines are PAT tested and ready to go. Just need plenty of advertising.

As a group we have taken the opportunity to use up all our patchwork scraps to make Morsbags during lockdown. As Sodburybags we have now reached 447. Our local fruit and veg shop still takes the bags and all sizes are welcome. Hopefully we will continue to add to this. Keep well everyone.
