“Plastic is very harmful to our environment. Using metal straws can lower the chances of our environment being polluted and trashed, and it can help the wildlife. My reusable straw pouches are a cute and creative way to take straws with you wherever you go!”

One day I was talking to my grandma about something I could sew for my mom. She had a great idea and said, “Oh! How about a pouch for her metal straws because right now they’re wrapped up in a towel?” I thought it was a great idea! So, I went to my sewing machine with my grandma and she helped me sew it. When we were all done, we presented it to Mom, and Mom really loved it! She is still using it to this day. I wanted to sew more pouches so that more people would use metal straws and that would help the Earth. 

Hi! My name is Isla. I am 9 years old and I like doing crafts. I have a pet lizard named Spike and I love him a lot. I also like to sew and make people happy. I have a little brother named William. I think he’s a good little brother.
