Join the fun in making up the kits or come and take some kits to sew up some bags!  Directions included in the packets.

The library needs more fabric!

Now thru Feb. 3rd you can drop off your clean, durable fabric donations at the Northfield Public Library!  The fabric will be made into "Take-n-Sew" kits to be sewn into Boomerang Bags for the library.  We have @1,200 bags circulating around the library and we have reduced the need to purchase so many plastic bags. 

The project at the Northfield Senior Center was AMAZING!

We had such a great response at the senior center - over 400 new Boomerang Bags will be created with the donated fabric. You can now pick up "Take-n-Sew" kits up there and the Used A Bit Shoppe.
The bags are lovely, to help eliminate one use plastic bags everyone is invited to take and use a bag!
