The Morsbags project appealed to my bag-making and recycling tendencies. I’ve made some bags out of second-hand pillowcases and op-shop (thrift store) remnants to give away and help reduce the number of plastic bags we use for shopping. If you can sew and want to get involved there are pods all over the world or you can start your own. I’ve set up a social sewing group called ‘Hawke’s Bay Fabric Hoarders‘. We sometimes sew bags.
