    My mom had an apron for clothes pins.

    Thanks for the links. Sure beats my plastic bag!

    I know exactly what you are looking for and I think I saw a pattern in Keepsake Quilting, but not 100% sure. It might be a good place to start.

    After looking at the pictures, why couldn't you buy a childs dress at a thrift shop and just close off the bottom or add a pouch inside? I've seen really cute dresses.

    I do, I use line and folding rack that I put on my deck or inside the house in the winter. I use the dryer when trees are pollinating and sometimes in the winder

    I still hang and love it!! Check tipnut.com and in their search put in clothspin bags and see what you find. They have great recipes, patterns, ideas. Have subscribed for several years. Good luck.

    my husband also told me we weren't allowed to hang laundry in our township.. I do.. I use a basket for my clothes pins. I should think you could just take a childs dress and sew up the bottom . Just use a childs hanger to hang the dress and there you have a clothes pin bag..

    Don't understand why they would say you can't hang laundry out. Saves lot money in these hard time's. But there is lot things don't make sence to me. :D

    I still hang out laundry each week !!! I dont like to put many of my things in the dryer. I found a pin bag at Walmart but next time I need one I will certainly be making one.

    I hang clothes outside it saves on the electric bill and when you live by yourself you have to save where you can and besides there isn't anything better then sheets hung outside smells wonderful!!!!!!
