If you haven’t heard of the Morsbags movement we are supporting people to make bags which will replace the need for plastic carrier bags. Plastic causes so much harm to the natural world and by making a simple bag from fabric that would otherwise be thrown away is your contribution to saving the planet.
Morsbags are made by volunteers, crafter, sewing groups, children in schools, and just you in your home and they are then given away for free, to encourage more people to think twice before buying a plastic carrier bag.
There is support to make the bags, and we will even source you fabric and labels if you join our ‘Pod’. When you make your bags just let us know and we can add our total numbers for the Birmingham Morsbag Pod to the website at www.morsbags.com . On the website you will find a brief history into how the movement started, and instructions on how to make one.
So far our Morsbag numbers have reached over 1500! Many, many thanks to all those who have made and given away these lovely bags which contribute to helping us to rid the planet of plastic bags.
If you would like more information about making Morsbags or joining the Scrapstore please contact Diane on 0121 236 2917, or Diane@bpcn.org.uk
We are also taking part in the Jewellery Quarter Festival on 21st and 22nd July 2018 where we will be introducing everyone to the Morsbag movement, giving away free kits to those who attend our Flower workshops. Workshop attendees will have to opportunity to win a beautiful sewing box donated by Korbond.
