@Ann,
I have several “boxes” of tapes that people have already sent to me. I
don’t have anymore storage for them. You might try putting them up on
freecycle or craig’s list in your area and see if you get any takers.

Also check out this link to GreenDisk and you can choose to use
your own box (20 lbs or less) and it costs 6.95 only for the Technotrash Pack-IT. Put all your tapes in there and ship them off. Best wishes and thanks for thinking recycling.

Beautiful items on your website – Congratulations!

Can you please advise me as to how I could donate quite a large amount of audio cassette tape/film towards craftspeople like yourself? I really don’t want to have them end up in a landfill site!! I’m thinking of all my children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews etc etc! It’s a great shame that more people do not care.

Thank you for any help you can give. I’m happy to pay postage, of course.

Otence,
When I do a zipper in a lining I always make it separate from my plastic bag purse. I make my liner and put in the zipper then once its all done, I insert it inside my plastic bag. I stitch it in place by doing a hand stitching which is hidden from the outside of my purse. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cindy,

I will try it and let you know.

One more question. How do you get a zipper in the bag without tearing it with the machine needle?

@Otence:
In regards to this pattern, Row 6 – Sc in each st across to center opening for buttonhole. Work 2 Hdc in skipped space for buttonhole and then Sc in each remaining st across row. This creates the buttonhole. Let me know if this helps or email me back.
