Stacks of colourful fabric squished in rows inside a clear acrylic tray. lots of pinks, greens, reds, and blues visible!
My sister was teasing me for "that time I cut like 500 2" squares" out of fabric scraps, so I figured it was time I made something from em. #SewSustainable

Ten colorful handmade reusable shopping bags, one with a red ♥️ applique
When I can't figure out what to do with myself, sewing can be a comfort. Yesterday, I made 10 reusable shopping bags to give away. The one with the heart is my 800th. I'm still stuck, so I'm ironing another stack of fabric. Bring your shopping bags, please!

Some of today's volunteers with the 25 handmade reusable shopping bags we finished at the Urban Ecology Center Sewing Bee. We ripped fabric, ironed, pinned, serged, sewed, talked, laughed, and did something to help the planet. That's what I call a day well spent. Thanks, everyone!
