Creative Caffeine// Guerilla Project

For my "creative caffeine" for the guerilla project, I asked on a number of social media sites what would make my friends/followers more likely to use a reusable bag.

I found everyone's responses to be really helpful.  I had previously thought of just making a very simple, plain bag that could be produced quickly and easily.  Since folding-up in some way seems to be a major concern, I'm now thinking of incorporating a snap or perhaps a way for it to be packed up into a smaller bag.  Jimmy's statement about the bags getting dirty made me want to stick with using cotton for the material, as it can be easily washed (and is also ultimately biodegradable, I think).  My sister Colleen's comment about the cookie made me laugh- that's a very "Colleen" thing to say.  It gave me the idea of maybe stenciling the phrase "GOOD JOB" on some of the bags though- just a nice reminder to the user that they're doing something good.  "Likebear"'s comment about the ugly designs of many reusable bags made me want to make something cute, but simple.

Everyone's responses have definitely encouraged me to get designing and sewing!
