Clothespin Bag

I finally did it! I have been meaning to make a bag to keep my clothespins in but kept putting it off. Finally yesterday I used Debbie's great tutorial and made one. This thing was super easy and works great. The only thing I did different was to sew the sides of the opening closed a bit so it didn't fall open when full. It works great, thanks Debbie!

This is a great beginner sewing project, so give it a try. You'll be surprised what you can do when you try!

  11. It turned out great Tori! Thanks for sharing your photo! I made some more bags with a different opening that I zigzagged the sides about 2 inches on each side kind of like you did. Its under the tutorials list. Great job!

  12. LOVE it Tori!! I used to hang my laundry out even though we had a dryer. There was just something relaxing about being outside and knowing I was being frugal at the same time. : ) And it was a good time to pray! Sadly, I don't do it anymore because 5 years ago someone bought the empty land next to ours and built a HUGE house. Their backyard sits up high and they can see directly into our yard--so now it's not so fun. : (

    I've been keeping my clothes pins in the pockets of an apron I put on to go hang out the clothes.

  16. What a great job! I have a bag very similar to this one, but it belonged to my grandmother...she made it. It's been used so much over the years and its age is beginning to show. I'm ready to hang it in the house for sentimental reasons and make a new one for myself. Thanks for the tutorial link!

  17. Very nice! I once loved projects like that. Thanks for your visit today. I've seen you around at other places, such as Connie's, but never visited. I'll come back again when I can.
