Cloth Bags That Are Reusable, Beautiful and Simple to Make Cloth bags of all sorts are now part of our daily lives. We take them to the grocery store, fill them at the mall, tote them on our wrists, and use them again and again. Noting the satisfaction we get when we can wrap our gifts in a special way, author Sonja Hakala has developed an easy method for you to make colorful and unique versions of drawstring bags that are sure to provoke ooohs and aaahs from everyone fortunate enough to receive one. (Or for you to love if you keep it for yourself.) Filled with colorful illustrations and clear instructions, Sonja explains how to make a basic bag with the sewing tools you already have, and fabric that you'll probably find stowed away in your stash or in your scrap pile. Then she adds three different ways to take this basic bag and make it even more special. In 12 easy-to-follow steps, you will cut, fold, fashion, and sew an eco-friendly, reusable, sturdy, and beautiful, fully-lined drawstring bag that reflects your unique taste. Think about it-this way of wrapping a gift will be like no one else's. Henry David Thoreau once said "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes" and Sonja's philosophy about everything she designs is close to the same. "Those of us who sew, design, and create accumulate all sorts of materials and tools. I set out to use what was at hand when I created these bags so that everyone, no matter their level of expertise, could make them. You can even hand sew them if you like." In addition to adding sparkle to a hostess gift or a present under the tree or as a way to make a birthday or shower gift even more special, these wonderful bags please their recipients throughout the year. Enjoy!

 "Works well for me" 2009-11-21
By T. Ratliff (Mansfield, MA USA)
I've been really pleased with the detergent so far, and it lasts FOREVER. I do all the laundry for our family of four, and the pack of four lasted us for over a year. I just ordered our second 4-pack and may not have to order again until early 2011. We do about 8 loads per week in a front loader, and it has cleaned well for us. Our two kids aren't little anymore, so we don't have the same dirt and food (and other) stains that we used to have, so I can't comment on how this does with really dirty laundry.

 "Fabulous laundry detergent" 2009-10-12
By Inaru (Bay Area, CA, US)
This actually works as advertised. It's a better detergent than the usual cleaners, leaves clothes bright, soft without using added fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Definitely pre-treat grease-oil spots on clothing first, it's not likely to get them out otherwise. Very worth using, economical as a Subscription. I won't get caught without it because after using it, commercial detergents smell hellish with perfume and they don't dissolve anywhere as well as Ecos does.

 "Does not clean well" 2009-10-05
By Green A (California)
It is great that this is an eco-friendly detergent and that it is super concentrated but after several attempts (hot, warm, cold, small load, large load, darks, lights) I have to say this stuff does not work very well. It does not get stains out or remove dirt completely. In comparison, Seventh Generation and Planet detergents both work far better and cost about the same.

 "Laundry Detergent" 2009-08-25
By O. Della Laitinen
I was using a powdered detergent and then I tried Ecos Liquid Detergent and I really like the product. My clothes come out nice and clean in Hot or cold water and the inside of my washer seems to stay cleaner. We live in a remote area and are on a Septic system and I use less product so it is easier on the system. I will be trying the Softner next.

 "Horrifying fish smell!" 2009-07-29
By ghorowitz3 (New York)
I'm not quite sure what to make of the fact that we used a couple of bottles of this product with no ill effect, but the most recent bottle has been the most revolting disaster imaginable. All of our clothing, linens, towels, etc., now smells disgustingly like mildewed fish. So does our high-efficiency washing machine, which we are trying to de-stink. My daughter's clothes closet smells so atrocious that we can hardly look inside. We are presently rewashing all of our clothes in Tide to try to render our house liveable. Obviously we will never try this product again.
