Maybe this will help get my stash under control. I think I will look for a local pod that will like to sew together.
I think I will get started right away and make some for gifts for my girlfriend weekend.

Yes, I found the site last year and demoed it at a guild meeting...I like it because each side is the size of fat quarter so no measuring, and easy to make. I keep one folded up in my purse...you never know...... Think I will make a few more to pass out to friends....

I have made a few of these over the past few years, most recently I used a Morsbag to wrap a gift for someone, so they not only got the gift, but a reusable shopping bag as well. I usually just use two fat quarters to make it, so the only cutting is for the handle.

Morsbag was a new term to me but love the idea. I have used reusable bags for years and always have some with me. Mine aren't very pretty but are definitely used. Maybe I will make some new ones and pass these on to others.
