Glastonbury Bags

[TheNewUnion]

Can anyone use any Glastonbury (Yeo Valley) bags. Just moved house and turns out we have about 15-20 of them from festivals 2008-2022 (ish) along with a couple of Guardian drawstring and backpack style bags.

I am loathed to throw them away so wondered if anyone can use them. I'd prefer someone to take the lot in one go and hopefully there's a creative project out there crying out for them.

First response in this thread gets them, though happy to split if the first comment says so, then 2nd comment gets the rest.

 

Cheers all

You're not, they're yours. DM me your address and I'll get them bagged up and sent to you.

Shade purposes only. Ever the weather optimist!

You could probably waterproof it with this;

However, with no rain, it would be a daft thing to do.

That is superb, well done. We just use our many glastonbury bags as eh, bags. Must think of something more creative.

That's very nicely done - this would make it a parasol wouldn't it?  Perfect for a promenade down the sea front at your local festival pier.

I'm presuming that you repurposed an existing brolly, which alone would be a huge effort (with my lack of perceivable talent or ability).

That's brilliant.

I've got a load of old Glastonbury tshirts that no longer fit after I've lost a ton of weight. I want to turn them in to cushion covers. Unfortunately I lack the knowledge, skill, temperament, or sewing machine to achieve this. The friend who'd said she would to do it for me has since moved to the wilds of Scotland. I don't think the two things were connected.

Well, I am a rubbish sower. Reliant on you tube e and wiki.how. temperament is my main hurdle. Getting the job done. This took me probs in all 7 hours over a period of days and still some work to do on it. But I did enjoy the challenge
