Get-together to sew reusable cloth grocery bags

Grannies gathered on April 22, 2026 to sew a bunch of reusable cloth grocery bags to give out at HyVee tabling. The gathering was open to experienced sewers, beginner sewers, and even non-sewers who helped by cutting fabric to size and ironing. Several types of  fabric were used including broadcloth and light canvas (old drapes), which saves fabric from landfill as a great bonus benefit. A favorite design for bags with finished edges was shared that can be altered in size and doesn’t require lining.
