Ah, I haven’t used any slippery fabrics yet but I will keep that in mind!
Offcuts, I had a bit of a slow down in my sewing the past two weeks but I should be getting back to a one bag per day average. One of my bag receipients has been so happy with the bags she has that she asked if I’d sew bags for her (she’d provide all of the fabric and thread needed) to give to her friends and family. Naturally, I said yes! Another receipient told me that her bag has become her “go to” shopping bag because it’s so easily folded and compact. Now, a bit of backstory… I live in the suburbs of Chicago and this second lady lives in Chicago. She also owns a small apartment building which rents to people coming to Chicago for extended periods of time that would find hotels cost prohibitive but aren’t in town long enough to get a regular year-long lease on an apartment. Chicago is also in the process of making a decision about requiring businesses of a certain size to stop using plastic bags. I’d told her that I’d be happy to provide several bags for each apartment and she thought that was wonderful. She has said she’ll be on the lookout for fabrics for me, as a thank you. So I’m very happy that I have homes for bags before they’re even made. Apologies for the rambling and thanks for asking!
