Bags, banter and a lot of happy podders
Every morsbag is made by hand, given away for free, and photographed by someone who’s very pleased with themselves. Here’s a peek at the people, the pods and the piles of fabric that keep the whole cheerful thing going.
Since 2007, pods around the world have snapped their morsbagging sessions, their finished bags and the odd celebratory cake. It’s a lovely, sprawling scrapbook, and the best of it lives over on our Flickr group, where thousands of your photos have gathered over the years.
Above: a proper morsbagging session in full swing — sewing machines humming, offcuts everywhere, tea going cold. This is what a pod actually looks like: neighbours turning unwanted fabric into free bags for their high street.
Morsbagging al fresco — because a sunny day is far too good to spend indoors. Wherever there’s a table, a few willing hands and some spare cloth, there’s a pod.
And this is what 2,000 bags looks like from the inside: one pod, cake at the ready, celebrating a milestone that keeps thousands of plastic bags out of the shops. Multiply that by the pods worldwide and you start to see how we got here.
See more — and add your own
The full gallery lives on our Flickr group. It’s free to browse and free to join, so pop over, have a nose, and upload photos of your own pod, your own bags and your own morsbagging shenanigans. The more the merrier.
Not on Flickr? No bother. Snap your bags, tag #morsbags on social, or email your photos to hello@morsbags.com and we’ll happily share the good ones.
