Get on the Bandwagon

Great news in Buenos Aires, they are in the process of getting rid of plastic bags! Check out this great article on the ban from Seashells and Sunflowers. The blog writer is an American living in Argentina, with a great perspective on life abroad!
Way to go Buenos Aires, now lets all follow suit and reduce the number of plastic bags we use. We can all make a difference, start with one bag, then your stash will grow as you get intouch with the fashionable side of bagging groceries!

Inventory Rising

I have been sewing on the machine, working on increasing the inventory for Threadbeaur.
I just posted one of my favorite bags in a vintage fabric. The vintage linen tree fabric was found at an estate sale up in Illinois. I had about 8 yards of it, and now the stash is dwindling. I bought it still wrapped on the bolt, and the tag still intact read 1980. When did the 80's become vintage? I am always on the look out for great estate sales, and thrift stores to find fabric. I hope that I can find some good places to shop around here in Florida.

Etsy Shop Slowdown

I have been taking a break from the shop. Not intentionally, it just sort of happened. Once I was back at work after the holidays I was just not able to make as many bags to fill the shop. I am hoping to get more bags into the shop in the coming weeks. Though I have had much success with the reusable coffee sleeves, it is the grocery bags that I love to show off.

Is there anything that you would like to see more of in Threadbeaur's eco-Friendly shop? Grocery bags, shoulder bags, or coffee sleeves.
My sister just sent me a great big box of vintage fabrics that she found in her travels between Mt. Dora, FL and Los Angeles. I hope to have those up in the shop soon. Keep your eye out for more eco friendly items at Threadbeaur's Etsy shop.
