Summer is upon us, no?
I wanted to take our June blog to talk about another one of our monthly charity nights hosted here at the Craft Happy sewing lounge. The last Tuesday of every month, sewsters are welcome to use our machines and work tables to create their very own MorsBags.
And MorsBags are what, exactly?
So I (try to) never, ever go shopping without a sturdy canvas bag to cart home my goodies in. You don't go shopping without your wallet, right? Same goes for reusable shopping bags, which are totally the trend.
MorsBags is a worldwide organization dedicated to helping eradicate plastic shopping bags. Plastic bags practically never biodegrade, and with our proximity to water, often times they end up in the bellies of creatures we are working to protect (think of all those turtles and dolphins with a big ol' sad face!). MorsBags is one little way of giving a helping hand to the environment, and you look good while doing it too!I recommend a little sewing experience if you want to join us for a Tuesday night MorsBag event, but the bag we're making is very, very simple, and super-chic. We have the pattern here at the studio, along with the MorsBags tag to make it official. Looking for fabric to bring to this event? I recommend bringing an old sheet to transform into a new, cool bag!
