It’s a nice feeling for us when we have motivated someone else to make bags isn’t it?
I had a nice encounter not so long ago.
I met a lady at the big textiles show when we were both taking part in a crochet workshop. We recognised each other but it took us a few minutes to work out where from. It turned out that I had taught her how to make a Morsbag at an event about 18 months previously. I remembered her really well. She had really shown an interest in morsbags but took quite a bit of gentle encouragement to convince her to sit behind the sewing machine and have a go. She had bad memories of terrible sewing teachers at school and was genuinely nervous of the machine. Anyway, she made a bag and really enjoyed it. It sparked a real interest in sewing for her. Although she hadn’t made anymore morsbags, she had been to other sewing workshops and got interested in various other crafts. It’s was a nice feeling to think that I had given her a gentle push in the right direction that had gone on to be a new hobby for her.
(She did make another bag at the big textile show!)
