She made these bags, mainly from donated, jeans, ties, & shirts from Quaker Service.
All are lined, the denim ones are large, fully lined and with several pockets inside & on the outside. Ideal for attending a conference or to take books, files, iPad, laptop, lunch etc on a day out. Sturdy bags

The smaller ones are more like handbags.

She had planned to sell them at the QS stall at IYM. All proceeds to Quaker Service,

SOUTH BELFAST QUAKERS

Quakers (or the Religious Society of Friends as they are also known), have held Meetings for Worship in Ireland since 1654. After a previous failed attempt to establish a lasting Belfast Meeting around 1665, the first permanent Belfast Quaker Meeting was established in 1799, and in 1810 it moved to Brewery Lane, now known as Frederick Street. It wasn’t until 1956 that a second Meeting was approved for Friends who lived in Belfast, this time based in the south of the city. South Belfast Meeting House is an active Meeting with approximately 45 adult members and attenders who worship together each Sunday. Children & Young People also play a large part in our meeting, and we have on average 22, 1-18 year olds joining us for the last 10 mins of our worship, after their own activities.

Meeting for Worship takes place at 10.45am each Sunday at our meeting house ( see address and directions on the contact page )

Alternatively you can join us on Zoom with the following details:
