EARTH FRIENDLY
The new bags found in this section are made from fabric which was originally used to make something else.
I feel pretty sure that in Medieval Times, fabric was recyled, too!
Two excellent sources I have found for fabric...
1) Thrift stores are great places to find fabric that is in really good shape. I try not to buy clothing that will actually be worn by someone else, but articles that really should have been a bag in the first place. I always clean the article before I start working on it.
2) Fabric remnants are given to me by friends or leftover from my own projects. These pieces might otherwise have been tossed out as being too small for any further use, but have now been lovingly sewn into something useful and beautiful.
