Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video, so other volunteers (like me) can actually follow your instructions and make bags to hopefully raise some money for good causes (animals). :-) A hint on how to get the smell out (dog food): 1. two good washes with sponge and dish soap (inside and outside); 2. spray and let dry (repeat) with any natural enzyme odor/stain remover. I'm going to make my first bag, right now! :-)

What a great idea to make as a fund raiser. I make them to use as personal grocery totes. I really wish they were biodegradable. I recycle as many things as possible and this is a great way.

I made some with pig feed bags here in Hawaii. But they make it so complicated. Its easy. I didn't even wash mines. Just wipe them down and cut where you want and sew. Add a handle or two. I charge $10 if you bring your own feed bags. Money goes to the maker! 😉👏🏻🌈

We are like minded...I have a garage full of feed bags from feeding the wildlife this winter. I have approached 4H and a few others and no one is interested. I too would be doing this for animal rescue as I am also a rescue cats/dogs parent. Have many black and gold grain bags that could have a bit of Steeler, Penguin, Pirate motif fabric edging along the top. Since there is only me...this would be a daunting project.

Kathleen, try approaching your local Elks club - Fire Department - and Veterans Organization. They are always looking for ways to help people do things like this and to raise money. Also try the local animal shelter in your area, they usually have volunteers who want to do more to help - and if you run out of bags, they will have more.

Kathleen I would contact Senior Living centers. Ask for the Director Of Activities, tell them your plan and they can see if anyone is interested. Another idea is employment centers for the disabled. A lot of them are non-profits looking for ideas that employ their clients. My last idea is if you have charter schools in your area call around and pitch your idea. My oldest 2 kids went to an art school were they need volunteer hours to graduate. Since it was an art school anything sewing was always a big hit. I lied, one more idea, your local girl scouts might be interested also. Okay, one more, your local female prison might have a program. If you donate the bags, they will sew them. Mine makes preemie quilts for the NICU. I donate my fabric scraps to the program.

Thanks for video, very informative! I have been saving bags and started making but my stitching is jumpy and loose. Any ideas? I don't have a commercial machine but a heavy duty one, can easily go through several layers of denim. I've played with the tension, doesn't seem to help. Anyone else had trouble??

are the bags slippery? perhaps this is making the stiching off.

Do you need a commercial sewing machine for these bags? And what kind of thread, wouldn’t it need to be strong thread like they use to close the bags when feed is inside? I would love to make these bags for the silent auction at our rescue !

Connie, I don't think its the needle, I caught "Commercial" machine and I think that's the secret. They're made to go through the thickness of this type of material. The only type of needle on a home machine that might work would be a denim needle and one of the things called a 'hump jumper' for sewing blue jeans and through thick quilts. I own Janome machines and if I could get enough people together to help me do this, that's what I would be using. I hope this helps you.
