Here’s a note from Carolyn Wilson, BERNINA World of Sewing, Raleigh, NC: These college girls came in Saturday afternoon to sew in our classroom. Only one of them had sewn before! They were so impressed they could make their costumes and loved that our machines made their first experience successful!

This simple project is not new, but it’s so easy and incredibly practical. It’s a great way to corral plastic grocery bags to re-purpose for other uses. Quick to make, this bag saver uses an elastic technique that eliminates the tedious process of threading elastic through a casing. WAS Grocery Bag Saver by Susan Beck
