We made nine complete bags and there are a few there that just need handles sewing on. Not bad considering there were only seven of us and strictly speaking I shouldn't count as I didn't seem to do anything.
I really enjoyed the evening. It was just what I needed to take my mind off other stuff. Hopefuly we will do it again in the not too distant future.

They look really good, did you follow a pattern, or did you make it up?
I've been thinking of doing something similar, so I needn't accept a plastic carrier bag when out shopping for small items.

I was inspired by the morsbag site http://www.morsbags.com/ which I think has a pattern on. We didn't use a specific pattern. We just cut round a large rectangular placemat for the body of the bag and used the oddments for handles.
It is good to not have to accept carrier bags when out shopping. It's such a simple thing to do once you get into the habit of remembering to take your reusable bag to the shops with you.
I have a collection of jute & fabric bags and most of the time I do remember them!! Those look really good claire :0)
I've really cut my carrier bag usage down as I always take my reusable ones. There is really no excuse..ps wish I could have come :)
