Are you going shopping at the bakery? Take your bag with you!
Linen, as an airy and natural material, is perfect for storing bread. Even for several days, it will keep our bread fresh, full of flavor and prevent the formation of mold.
The linen bag also has aesthetic value, because it looks beautiful in any kitchen. In addition, sewing such a bag is a great way to reduce the consumption of plastic bags. The bag is easy to make and even a beginner can handle it. Each workshop participant will have the opportunity to personalize his bag with graphics cut on a plotter.
