I have a vested interest in sustainability, and although I enjoy sewing, it bothered me to waste scraps of fabric. I began saving bags of scraps to use them for smaller projects, such as these zippy bags—which became my favorite thing to make. Through this process, I’ve created many color combinations I never would have used in my design work. These bags became an integral part of my Tokens of Kindness experiments in. 
Here are some examples of the bags and an interview about these and my other handmade projects featured on Market Day Iowa.
