Hi dmbags! I’m pleased to hear that you intend to make up the fabric you’ve collected. For me it’s one of the great things about morsbags that we take stuff that would have been thrown away and make it useful again. 😀
I will be giving away bags on 8th May at a street festival in a village near me, but are you really sure that you want to post them? It might be quite expensive. I’m absolutely amazed that no market stalls or independent shops near you will give away free bags – usually they are only too keen to take as many as possible.
Other places that morsbaggers use to distribute bags are charity book sales (think local church halls….), local offices – good for people to borrow a bag for a lunch run or little bit of lunchtime shopping, and if they want to keep the bag that’s fine. I recently distributed about 60 bags in a local car park – I just hung them on wing mirrors and tucked them under door handles.
Just before Christmas one year we needed the space in our spare bedroom and had to get rid of lots of bags fast, so we went to a local housing estate and pushed a bag through every letter box. It took an afternoon, but I still see people in that area using their morsbags.
The original concept for distributing bags is “guerrilla bagging” – could you get together with a friend or two and give them away at your local shops? It’s quite legal to give people presents in the street! 😀
I hope you manage to find someone to help with distribution – maybe a morsbagger (or a friend or relative of one) will be visiting your area (East Yorkshire) some time? Fingers crossed!
