The Handcrafts Committee manages all things for BAGS, BABIES & BEYOND and is a support group for UJAMAA GRANDMAS Handcrafters; organizing workshops and demos, providing kits and ideas for products. Product Custodians collect and store items for BB&B and organize pricing committees, display and clean up after the sale. Materials Custodians (Yarn and Fabric) provide raw materials and kits for products destined to be in the sale. PLEASE, if you take raw materials or kits and find you are unable to complete products for the sale, no worries, but please do return them so another member can use them to support the sale.
