Earlier this week I attended a very timely workshop on how to reduce waste over the holiday period. The astonishing statistics that I took out of that are sourced from <a href="http://www.recycle.co.nz/kiwis.php">Recycle</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>On average, Kiwis throw away 30% more rubbish over the summer holiday period than usual. </li>
<li>The waste we generate just about doubles the week after Christmas.</li>
<li>An extra 50,000 Tonnes of waste is likely to be produced during the Christmas week. </li>
<li>A 20-foot container is able to hold on average 3.5 tonnes of waste (50,000/3.5 = 14,285.7 containers).</li>
<li>With each container standing 2.4m tall, stacked on top of one another, this would be equivalent to 105 times taller than the Sky Tower.</li>
<li>This means the amount of extra waste generated the week after Christmas in NZ is equivalent to more than 14,000 20-foot containers stacked on top of each other, 105 times taller than the Sky Tower!!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
The workshop hosts, Hannah and Liam of the <a href="http://therubbishtrip.co.nz/">Rubbish Trip</a> effort, kindly invited me to talk about Elf Bags. The event took place at Sustainability Trust, and I walked around the shop to find bits and pieces to gift bag as exemplars: <a href="https://sustaintrust.org.nz/collections/garden/products/15l-bokashi-bucket-set-1-bag-compost-zing">bokashi bucket set</a>, <a href="https://sustaintrust.org.nz/collections/garden/products/niwashi-gardening-hand-tool">gardening tools</a>, <a href="https://sustaintrust.org.nz/collections/garden/products/rat-trap">rat trap</a>. The walking and looking part took far longer than the bagging part. I'm glad I wasn't talking about some upcycled, hand-made wrapping paper. Nothing wrong with that idea, but gift wrapping those oddly shaped items would have been a pain.<br />

If you have some fabric you're particularly fond of, I'm happy to sew custom Elf Bags for you. Elf Bags are an alternative to gift wrapping, so they will most likely be used only for birthdays and other gift-centered celebrations, and with good care, should last for generations. That's generations of not forking out on wrapping paper every year. You might need to wash an Elf Bag once a decade or so, which means that precious fabrics of high sentimental value but little practical application are perfect for this purpose.<br />

Perhaps you have your old baby blanket that will never snuggle another baby, but it's a shame to feed it to the moths in the attic.<br />
<br />
Maybe your kids have grown out of their cutesy dinosaur curtains, and the curtain edges are too sun-faded, and they are too old to give away, but you want to hold on to the fond memories of curtain peekaboos and infectious giggles, and it's fun to test the progeny's knowledge of Dracorexes vs Eoraptors when the are twenty.<span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />

There's that psychedelic tea towel that your, now deceased, uncle gave you ten years ago. You never actually used it, but it seems disrespectful to take it to a charity store. Show your relatives that you cherish the memory of your eccentric uncle by transforming the towel into a gift bag to sit under the family Christmas tree.<br />
<br />
How about your grandma's selection of novelty scarves?<br />
<br />
That Christmas table cloth that got a massive hole burned in it by a rogue firework that your inebriated cousin let off last year? Grandpa was not impressed. Only a third of the table cloth is completely wrecked. The other two-thirds, made into Elf Bags, will remind your family about the fireworks incident. That might keep the cousin from drinking too much this year, and Grandpa can find someone else to swear at.<br />
<br />
An Elf Bag can have a family story to tell. A funny story or a really weird one; and every year, when the gifts are bagged under the tree, the stories are retold and new tales join the family history.<br />

Elf Bags are an infinitely reusable alternative to gift wrapping. They are perfect for family celebrations, to be reused every year. They can be a gift in themselves, for a friend, with a gift inside, even! That's a double-gift! Your friend can then regift the bag as a gift to someone else or use it for their own family Christmas as a non-gift. That's a lot of gifting.<br />

Several years ago I decided to do away with gift wrapping, and instead, started sewing festive bags for our family Christmas merriment.<br />
<br />
The idea, which I'm sure originates a long long time ago, in a place far far away, was introduced to me by my mother in law. She'd sewed a stack of reusable gift bags from some in-your-face Christmas fabric that was sold dirt cheap after the holiday. The textile made my eyes sore. With a pained grimace on my face I walked into Spotlight and found some vaguely non-hideous Christmas fabric. I sewed a pile of gift bags. And that's how it happened. No more mountains of ripped wrapping paper and bits of sticky tape stuck to the cat's behind. Finally I would no longer anxiously linger by the plastic tree, trying to salvage whatever paper was somewhat intact, while everyone else helped themselves to pudding. Instead, the cloth bags would get folded and stashed away with all the decorations, for more gifting next year.<br />

As with all expanding families, every year we'd find ourselves making more presents and needing more bags. Every year I've been sewing more, with a sneaking suspicion that a family member or two likes to keep their gift bag, instead of returning it.<br />
<br />
Last week, on RNZ National, Jesse Mulligan got all the treehuggers to crawl out of their burlap sacks to frantically send in their ideas for <a href="http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2018623202/is-christmas-wrapping-paper-bad-for-the-environment">alternatives to non-recyclable shiny gift wrap</a>. Apparently lots of people use it, and many of them contaminate their recycling with it. I emerged from my black burlap sack to email Jesse a photo of my gift bags, and he responded with enthusiasm and a suggestion that I turn this idea into a business. Thanks Jesse, I am acting on your wisdom and turning my house into some sort of a sweat shop to create Elf Bags.<br />
<br />
Elf Bags come in a variety of sizes, fabric types and textile designs. The sizes are loosely grouped into Small, Medium and Large, and there are a few narrow, long bags also. Someone told me they are good for wine bottles.<br />

Would you like an Elf Bag? No, you would like a large stack of Elf Bags. That's excellent! It's too close to Christmas to be retailing them online this year, but I will be selling them at the <a href="http://brooklyncommunitycentre.org.nz/new-page-3">Brooklyn Christmas market</a> on Saturday, December 9th. Alternatively, you're welcome to browse the <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/Um2VMwkaw5i86Jpv1">Elf Bag gallery</a> and get in touch to let me know which bags you'd like to collect from me. I can also post them to you, if it can arrive before the gifting obligations. I will keep adding photos to the gallery over the next few days and weeks.<br />

The gold standard of zero waste, is just that - no waste. Nothing. Zero. Fresh air. The next best thing is to end up with compostables that will grow someone's food, and it that doesn't completely succeed, recycle the rest.<br />
<br />
This year, Brooklyn Primary School fair set a goal of being zero waste. I think everyone had enough of seeing events conclude with seas of trash, rubbish bins over-stuffed with takeaway containers, and plastic bags floating in the air, just out of reach. We received composting and recycling stations from the <a href="http://elementalgroup.com/">Elemental Group</a>. We used a combination of borrowed crockery and washing stations, and compostable plates and cutlery. We asked people to bring their own reusable bags, keep cups and food containers. Hell, the school was actually tidy! <a href="http://boomerangbags.org/">Boomerang Bags</a> kindly supported this initiative by providing dozens of Bought to Support pockets for the sewing bee volunteers. We made and sold over seventy bags. <br />
<br />
I made my Boomerang Bags in a less conventional, but my standard way - from old shirts, jeans and pillow cases. <br />

It's been a long long time away from the blog, but the making tools have been busy regardless. I am hoping to finally put an end to this digital neglect and regularly add new content. The <a href="http://www.chromatophobic.com/p/blog-page_790.html">Stitched Up</a> sewing gallery now features many more examples of my textile work, and the other galleries will also get updated.<br />

<b>I wonder if I was a Santa Elf in one of my previous lives...</b><br />
<br />
It's nearly time for some keen folks' mid year Christmas, so probably about time for the 2013 Christmas gift making round-up. For someone who is a fist shaking festive grinch, I sure do put a lot of effort into designing and making gifts for family. It the only way I can think of to turn something I loathe, which is shopping for gifts into an enjoyable experience, which is creating something in my personal sweatshop - *ahem* - workroom.<br />
<br />
Last festive gifting involved printing some photo books, making some food and the usual sewing and toy making. There seems to be an emerging theme of DIY toys, clothes, food and photography.<br />

Long time - no post is no indication of idleness, or so I'd like to think. The poor excuse for a summer that we had is long long gone, and now that we're back off daylight savings time, the lack of afternoon photography light is depressing. I have been frantically sewing, photographing and incubating, although I'm not convinced that the latter can be executed "frantically", especially since that process is responsible for a noticeable and incredibly exasperating drop in my productivity.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I photographed a few lovely weddings this summer. An extension of this visual snippet can be found in the <a href="https://plus.google.com/photos/118174736669291393801/albums/5845335629537562449?authkey=CNn7mMLF_YP8TA">Chromatophobic wedding gallery.</a><br />

<b>It's official. We have now supplied all of our closest women relatives with jewellery trees of different designs.</b><br />
<br />
The latest, for my youngest sister-in-law, is a free-standing laser cut <a href="http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/9-veneer-mdf-colour-rimu">Rimu Veneer</a> "fruit" tree. Mmmm fruit. I'm thinking oranges. "Veneer" generally denotes an MDF core, which is a material I tend to despise. However, it does have its uses, and is fantastic for laser cutting, especially the veneers. Check out examples of how veneer MDF can be used <a href="http://blog.ponoko.com/2012/04/16/veneer-mdf-%E2%80%93-april-material-of-the-month/">at Ponoko</a>.<br />

The other sister-in-law received an extra-tall tree cut from 6mm <a href="http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/2-plywood-eurolite-italian-poplar-">Eurolite</a>. The design is by <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6241">Robyn Ward</a>, and I added the engraved pattern to all the faces. The original tree design is covered by the GNU General Public License, but I'm certain that an application of a surface treatment is not considered as a change to the design, which is something that is excluded from this license.<br />

Then there was the wall mounted tree cut from 3mm alluminium and powder coated white. Styley as hell. It doubled as a first prototype for a product, so I cannot yet post pictures of it. Maybe one day.<br />
<br />
Lastly, there was a very involved stainless steel, acrylic on a jarrah base - a <a href="http://www.chromatophobic.com/2012/01/making-happiness.html">Christmas present</a> from a couple of years ago, which I'm yet to document in a blog post of its own. Maybe one day.<br />

All the four trees are elegantly carrying out their duties, dutifully bearing a heavy load of jewellery.</div>
