Waste Free

I hope people take more notice of the cute fabric, and the gift, than my poorly made, re-usable gift bags. Part one of trying to have less waste this Christmas. I struggled sewing a rectangle…how on earth do people make clothes?!!

You seem to be managing rather well :-)

I have no idea! Im taking an apron I wear when I volunteer to friend to turn up and make pockets! Apparantly its an easy task........................... yeah right!!

However - good on you for threading the machine and doing this!!

@ludwigsdiana sorry your other comment disappeared. I took a slightly better photo and deleted the first.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thank you! Glad to know I’m not the only one who struggles with “easy”!

Cute fabric. You seem to be managing ok. My sewing machine and overlocker don't get anywhere near as much use as they used to.

People are too bothered about quality - it's the thought that counts. I could show you my cushion covers ...

[narayani]

@merrelyn but you’re obviously a person who can use them!

[narayani]

@anniesue hey at least you now have cushion covers!

[Merrelyn]

@narayani If you can make bags, you can cushion covers 😊

[Gosia]

Nice

[Annie-Sue]

@narayani for a given value of "cushion cover"!

[Desi]

I am so impressed that you are making gift bags. What a great idea

[narayani]

@seacreature The re-usable, fabric covered crackers I think are beyond me! https://wastefreecelebrations.co.nz/

Awesome idea! A couple years ago I bought some fabric bags to be used at Christmas. It never occurred to me to actually sew them because my sewing skills stink.

@beckyk365 mine too Becky! But it was nice to do and a good feeling that they will be around for a while.
