Would it be terrible if I asked you guys how you clean and make the bags?

I absolutely love doing stuff like this!!!! How how how???? Must must must learn.

I have found that paint eggs don't do very well in shipping no matter how well you package them.

I have quite a few Nutrena Game Bird crumbles bags, don't know if that is the kind you are looking for.

I will try and explain but it is easy to make a bag
1 cut bottom off of bag
2 turn inside out
3 sew bottom of bag
4 make a gusset to do this place bag(still inside out) and poof it out so it stands like a paper grocery bag. you will be sewing cutting off the corners to make a gusset here is a link to what I mean http://www.georgialeigh.com/?p=760 just read/look at the part about making a gusset and forget the rest. I sew the corner then cut usually about 1.5 inches it depnds on where you want the bottom of the bag.
5 turn right side out
6 fold top edge to where you want it, sew
7 sew on handles
You have to play around with handle size/length and how much to cut of bottom and how far to turn over top etc. Use a bag you don't care about to get it down pat.
I use a serger and sewing machine you have to play with the tension a bit to get it so it doesn't skip stiches etc.

I wish I could give you a big hug. You so sweet! I guess you know what I wore today

My granddaughter loved it. She wanted the chicken mats and all the goodies. You should have seen her eye light up when she saw the sparkly Harley key chain........but that was for grandma. LOL Thanks again, it was very sweet of you to be so generous!
