Welcome to The Polka Dot Bag!
“Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.”
– Fred Rogers
The volume of textile waste Americans throw away each year has doubled in the last 20 years, from 7 million to 14 million tons.
Textiles can take up to 200+years to decompose in landfills. A shocking 84 percent of fabrics end up in landfills or incinerators.
The purpose of The Polka Dot Bag is to show you how easy it can be to make fashionable, beautiful finished bags and other items that have been recrafted with new and repurposed materials.
We invite you to join the movement of making a healthier Earth by reducing, reusing, recycling and repurposing toward zero waste.
Happy Sewing!
