A few years back I made a pile of bags for craft fairs and the like. I also made baby changing bags. They consist of a bag big enough for a well filled lever arch file with three bottle pockets on one side and a mat pocket containing a small waterproof baby changing mat on the other. They are lined bags made out of sturdy curtain fabric. I have several left. Would they be of use to the relief effort? If so, where could I send them? I'd love to fill them for the recipients, but this would make them too bulky to post. The baby bags are all my own design, and quite sturdy. They close at the top with a loop and a toggle.
More tote bags.

DOESN'T MAKE THE WORLD GO AROUND. BUT IT CERTAINLY MAKES THETRIP WORTHWHILE.
Kate,
Your generousity is overwhelming. I am too distant from the Katrina strike distance to suggest a place to which you might post them; I'm sure someone else will provide that information.
You were also good for a little chuckle. "...filled lever arch file" is not something some of us can only image. I will spend my day with a smile on my face doing just that. Please don't spoil my day by explaining! LOL!
Thank you for your help to us turncoats.

Contact your local Salvation Army or Church and they should be able to tell you where to take them. I would think the mommys who are carring everything in black plastic garbage bags would be so grateful.
They were fun! :) The wedding was rather wet... I tipped half a gallon of water out of the brim of my hat at one point!
I'm just finishing off 5 more red ones...
Hehe! I spent so much time as a student and a teacher with bags that were not quite big enough for all my books and files that when I came to design my own I decided that the A4 Lever Arch File was the perfect size for a bag! For the desperately curious, one of these will fit in easily, with room to spare for a pencil case, a couple of books, and a school class register...
