Charity tote bags
1 Attachment(s)
Making busy bags for Sadies Dream For A Cure. I needed more kid friendly blenders so I purchased the stack left front from Marshalls Dry Goods. Also needed blenders for the Moda fabrics in the stack on the right front side. I'm thinking I don't need to wash fabrics or should I? Anyone else used their fabric for the busy bags? Hmmm. Please share your thoughts as I'm anxious to get more sewn together. Thanks

Here are my Sadie's Dream bags. The one on the left is their fabric and the one on the right is my fabric. I washed the fabric first to be sure to remove the sizing that might not be good for kids in hospitals. It didn't look like the fabric they sent had been washed. I wash mine in mesh bags (like for lingerie). I don't think the washing is as important with the bags as it would be with quilts that would touch the kids' skin.

Thanks Kathy T. Cute bags, aren't they sew much fun!!! I didn't think their fabric had been washed either and some of mine has been but not the new pieces. A mesh bag is a great idea. Thanks

Great looking bags ladies! Thank you for helping out. I wash all of my fabrics when they come in the door. But I am sure they can't wash their fabric as they get bolts of it and it is easier for them to just cut the pieces off the bolts and not bother with washing.

those bags are so cute, what a wonderful idea and charity.

I've made a couple of bags for this charity...They're really fun to do. In fact, I think I have one unfinished in my pile of junk that I must complete and send off.

Lovely bags. What a great idea and what a lovely thing for you to be doing.
Do you fill the bags with goodies for the children or just leave them empty? |
