Hi Angela, I think it partly depends what country you are in. I’ll pass your question on to Ivybags who deals with label orders in the UK.

Whoops, cart before horse..

Welcome Wayupnorth2021! You’re right, it is a wonderful idea. I love taking something we don’t need any more and making it useful again – and then, the best bit – you give it away to someone for free! (Or use it over and over again yourself of course)

Don’t forget to add a morsbags.com label to each bag and add them to your tally, we love to see that number of bags made worldwide rise. 😀

Thanks for letting us know how it went Sarah, sounds like a “test of character” for you all! Good call for the handcranks. I hope you have better weather for the next event.

[beattie]

Have a great time, Sarah! I hope the weather is kinder than that occasion we remember so fondly – in retrospect 🙂

[beattie]

Sarah, as the poster hasn’t shown up would you like to post the details here –
Date, time, place etc

[beattie]

Sounds brilliant Sarah! I wish I could be there too. Fingers crossed for dry weather.

(At one of the Handmade Festivals we did, I remember rain hammering down, sifting through the roof of the gazebo, forming a mist inside and “magically” appearing on the handcranks. And the morsbaggers using them… Butterfly Bags will remember it, vividly, I’m sure!)

Go Sarah and Sue!

(I wondered if you were the Sarah from Whetstone Whales) 😀

Would you like to repost the link at the end as it has disappeared..

Sounds like a great event, have a wonderful time.

I don’t watch Eastenders either Sarah. Maybe someone else has seen it? I’d be surprised if they showed a morsbags label on the Beeb, they work really hard to NOT show any brands or logos. I see similar fabric bags a lot when out shopping, they’re not at unusual, which is a win for wildlife! 😀

Thanks for speaking up about the problem Sarah! Good job Joe 🙂 that was quick

Hi Ros, thanks for your interest in morsbags.

It’s up to each pod (an individual or group that makes morsbags) to decide how they give away the bags that they make. Some just make a few for themselves, friends and family to use. Others enjoy making them so much that they make larger numbers of bags and may be planning a handout.

One of the key things that makes a bag made out of recycled fabric a morsbag is that it is given away free, so giving a lot of bags to one outlet would be a bit unusual.

You could contact pods that are local to you by checking the map showing where all pods are.

Click on the “Pods” button just below the morsbags statistics line near the top of the page.

Zoom in and drag the map until you can see the pins marking each pod. You can send a message to a pod if you are logged in, but bear in mind that morsbags has been going for 15 years so pods may have come and gone or email addresses may have changed.

In the long run, you may find that making your own morsbags, or getting together with a friend who enjoys sewing may be the way forward.

Good luck with the jams and preserves stall! 🙂

Hi Welly, I am sorry you are having problems with this and hope to help sort it out.
Are you in the UK or another country? (Some areas have a separate mailing system.)

[beattie]

That’s brilliant Ruth! Welcome to the glorious world of morsbags. It’s a fabulous use for unwanted textiles, and the fact that morsbags are always given away free makes them thought-provoking and special. 😀

[beattie]

Thank you for your forethought, Ivybags! 😀

[beattie]

Hi Tracy! I hope you find a way of adding your photo. That one didn’t work out – is it worth another try – or take advice from Joe on admin@morsbags.com (our techy expert)
