Hi GrannieAnnie, you may have the wrong perception of this this idea.The lady who came up with this some years ago did so because of her distress over the marine life washed up on the beach that had injested plastic,bags in particular.She also lived on a canal boat and saw the same problem with wildlife.She came up with the idea of Morsbags to pursuade people to cut down of the use of plastic.She gets NO profit from this, only the satisfaction that her idea helps spread the word.Hundreds of groups have taken up the cause and thousands of bags have been made and given away free.O.K it is a simple pattern, that is the point, anyone with basic skills on the machine can make them, plus the heart to give them away free. All the literature ect. on the Morsbag website is free to print out if you wish to use it, the only charge is 50p for twenty labels to sew on to the bags -- this to carry on the message of her 'sociable Guerrilla Bagging'. No one is out to get rich,just maybe save the life of our precious wildlife.Letty x
