French seams are always cool to use.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Good afternoon, Amanda! Yeah, I don't think it showed up very well when the camera was a bit away from the fabric. I don't think it helped that it has tiny polka dots in behind it. To me, it looked a little fuzzy. Yes, Amazon could definitely help you out, as that's where I bought mine. 😉 I really want to buy some new ones though and have something a little bit different.

HI 👋! LOVE THIS BAG TOO! Don't have a lace zipper or CHERRY material but I do have a Cherry pitter my Rob made for me! Made 7 qts of canned cherries!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hello and good Sunday afternoon to you, Susan! I'm glad that you also like this bag! Maybe you can find a lace zipper somewhere or, you can always use a regular zipper. I probably should have mentioned that that would work just as well, even though it wouldn't look as fancy. I love to hear about all your canning. I don't know if I've ever told you, but when our children were growing up, we did as much for ourselves as we could and I used to can a lot of our foods. Many years that I would can over a 1 000 jars in a season. We had vegetables from our garden, but we also had canned chicken meat, beef, all different kinds of pickles, jams, jellies, Spaghetti sauce, salsa, ketchup, etc. You name it, I canned it. I had 3 water bath and 2 pressure canners. When we moved from our house into an apartment, giving up all those jars was heartbreaking to me. Absolutely heartbreaking.. I loved canning my own food. I have made a batch of jam here and there, but I don't even remember how long or at what pressure I used to do certain foods. They say use it or lose it, and that is absolutely true, at least for me. Anyway, didn't mean to talk your ear off. Hope you're having a great afternoon!

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

@@MariesScrappyCreations Marie I love you talking my 👂 off! 😆 I am fairly new to canning. Started practicing about 10 years ago. Then started up again 5 years ago when we moved here.

Oh my gosh such a quick simple item to give/sell! Well when i fell pregnent with my first I had no clue about so called cravings. We'd just moved with the forces to Germany and I needed cherries bad, I found a market stall and asked in my most awful pigion German for 1/2lb of cherries well to my dismay the cost was way over what i'd imagined, also the lady had given me a1kg sized bag. Well you know when you crave you have no stop button, I ate them all over that day into the evening and oh was I off to the loo over and over the next day lol!!!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Oh my goodness, Jo! That's quite a story and even though you were in distress at the end, I did have to kind of laugh. I remember those days and how strong the cravings could be at times. The part I laughed about was when you described trying to talk to the shop person. Lol! I remember I used to crave burnt toast, spread really thick with peanut butter. Yucky to think about now! 🤣
