This task ticked so many boxes for me:

• the joy of using left-over fabric from nursery curtains, dressing-up costumes, even a well-loved duvet cover;

• using the sewing machine inherited from my grandmother;

• peaceful mindfulness with fabric and thread;

• and the production of Borrow Bags, provided by Final Straw to local independent shops for them to offer to their customers instead of plastic bags

Joy all round!
