Christmas gift
 

While shopping at a flea market, a friend expressed interest in a clothespin bag but didn't buy it. I found a pattern for one here http://madewithlovebyhannah.com/WordPress/?p=136 and had some polyester fabric I didn't want, so this is the result.

I changed the pattern a little bit and used fabric/things that I had, and some things I did didn't work out too well. I lined the fabric (cut out two pieces of each pattern piece) and did French seams. I should have clipped the curves before finishing the last seam and maybe I wouldn't have the puckering around the curves. Also, I added the binding to the neckline before sewing together. I had to re-do the neck binding in the back because there was too much bulk when sewing it all together.

IF I ever make another one (I don't know too many people who still hang out their clothes), I think I would enlarge the pattern a little bit so that it fit a regular sized wooden hanger. The hanger for this pattern needs to be 13.5 inches across and a regular wooden hanger is about 16 inches.

That is cute !!

That is super cute! You're right. I don't know many people who hang out clothes anymore either. I couldn't do it here - the birds would wreck them!

Very cute!!! Wish I had an outdoor clothesline--miss that fresh air smell on clothes!

That is too cute! Wish I still had a clothesline to hang my sheets and pillowcases...nothing smells fresher than air and sun dried linens!

Very cute.
I still hang my clothes out year around and I live in Pennsylvania.

You did a great job. It is adorable.

I love hanging my clothes out! That is adorable! Thanks for the link.

I love that - it reminds me of my granny - she always hung her clothes out and I loved her cute clothes pin bags - she had a couple of different ones that she made.
