Reply To: Make your own bag stations – anybody tried this?

Thanks so much Beattie, Gudrun, Masterclock and Offcuts for all your suggestions.
We had a Sew A Thon at our local library on Monday and I used the idea of tying up some bundles to take home. Several people took advantage of those to take home along with the instructions. Two ladies that did will be joining our pod next month!
Also, loved the “Metamorphosis of a Morsbag” idea!
We did something similar on the bulletin board at the library and it really helped to explain things.
We have finally found a drop off location at one of our members workplace. It’s a warehouse one block from the city hall – so here’s hoping that works.
The library was also super easy to work with – as long as their meeting room is open, we can hold our sewing events there and hand out the bags near the entrance. Managed to give away over 100 on Monday.

Set up a Facebook Page – have started to attract some followers – feel free to check it out when you have a minute. Could definitely use some suggestions:

Just getting out there and meeting people gives us connections – we are being invited to do another event at an Organic Farm Coop in 10 days. They have a Squash Festival – Squash out your Carbon Footprint event. I think we will fit right in 🙂

The Northwest Harvest Food Bank wants all the bags we can provide for bagging up food for the low income folks in the International District of Seattle. We are dedicating the month of October to that.

Thanks again for all you have shared – this helps tremendously,
And special congratulations to Beattie on what you did for the Great British Sewing Bee – what an accomplishment!

Well I’m back off to the sewing machine.

Cheers, Jan
