Latest Bags...

I am very sporadic at posting on this blog, but figured you'd enjoy seeing the latest bags. I currently am enjoying making the regular shopping fabric bags and then adding a cute side bag that matches for smaller items (or even packing a lunch).
The first set is actually for trick-or-treaters, big and small!
Enjoy!

Some pictures of bags I've made.

Most of these have been scattered to friends and family around the globe.
If you'd like a bag, I'll send you one for free as long as you promise to use it and NOT paper or plastic AND send me a picture of you with the bag in action! Just comment on this page and include your email address (write out at and dot so you don't get spam) and I'll write you for your address.
Happy Saving the Earth!

Green Bag on the Other Side of the World!

My friend "The Dish" is over near the grand wall serving people in a teaching capacity. She loves where she lives and whom she serves. I love The Dish.
Here is a picture of The Dish with a bag I gave her the last time she was state-side.
Way to use fabric, The Dish!

Green Bag Ladies Event

The event, last week, was a great success!
Both those of us who hosted the event and those that participated, had fun.
We made at least 5 bags that night with inspiration for more.
(The other hostess made 10 more bags the following couple of days -- yay!)

Local Green Bag #2 being used

This is from a different friend (same material) who was shopping with her son and took a snapshot.
Less plastic & paper bag waste = happy green bag lady in Sacramento!

First Sacramento Event

Next Thursday, we're kicking off our first event.
With sewing machines and fabric in hand, a few of us are going to gather to put a small dent in the paper and plastic waste that our consumerist America doesn't think twice about. We'll be hanging out, sewing, and talking about alternatives to plastic and papers, such as the bags we'll be sewing.
Stay tuned for the story on how it goes!
