The little tag that keeps it going
Labels
Attaching a label is what turns an ordinary cloth bag into a morsbag. It’s a tiny stitch with a big job: it tells whoever ends up carrying the bag where it came from, why they got it for free, and how they can make more.
Why a label matters
Without a label, a lovely handmade bag is just a bag. Nobody knows the story. The person you give it to won’t find the site, won’t find the free pattern, and won’t know they can carry the idea forward.
Sew one on and the whole thing keeps moving: a bag leads to the site, the site leads to a pattern, the pattern leads to more bags, given away free to more people. That’s the bag-it-forward cycle in a nutshell — and the label is the little signpost that keeps the loop turning.
Sold at cost, never for profit
We make no money on labels. The price simply covers what it costs to have them made and posted. If we could give them away free, we absolutely would — that’s just how morsbags works.
Rather make your own mark?
No label to hand? No problem. As long as it lasts through the wash, you can embroider or fabric-paint morsbags.com straight onto the bag. However you do it, the point is the same: give the bag a voice so it can point the next person to the pattern.
New to all this?
If you’ve just picked up a needle for the first time, start with the pattern and the step-by-step guide — then pop a label on and set your first morsbag loose. And if you’d like to make bags with other people near you, a pod is the sociable way to do it.
