As for the de-stashing that comes along with making 100 tote bags, I used approximately 44 yards long x 20" wide fabric, including pockets and lining. As well, 3600" of webbing for the handles was used, some of it donated. I went through several spools of thread that have been hanging out, and that's a good feeling too.
I highly recommend taking on a civic project. Set a goal and just get it done. Why not?
Next up? Who knows. I think it's time to focus on sewing for me again.
Well done on completing such a HUGE project, Donna!!! The bags look great hanging on your thread holder. You've made a substantial dent in your stash... LOL!!! And made lots of kids happy. Thanks so much for sharing the links with me.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am sure the children, or whoever, receive one our your beautiful bags will be delighted for years to come!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I know when my kids were little, they loved having their own library bags (we went to the library a lot!). Hopefully, just this one little thing will help encourage reading in a tiny way.
DeleteDonna, you've motivated me. I've just challenged myself to make 100 drawstring bags. We'll see how I go. Thanks for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteYay! I know it's daunting at first, but go 10 at a time and change up the creative bursts from time to time while you're choosing fabrics, sewing, you know - have fun with it. I'd love to see them as you go along. Will you be posting on your blog?
