PS Love Colorado, must get back there again soon. |
I bought some tiny denim bib shorts, at thrift store, sewed the bottom shut= pin bag.
Where we lived in the city you could not have clotheslines. Now we can, to help cut down on elec. use. |
I hang clothes out all the time and just have an old plain bag I bought. Now I can have a cute fancy clothes pin bag. Thanks

I had bought a simple one many years ago and when the fabric rotted, I just used it to make a pattern from it. The dress ones are so cute I just may do that when I need a new one. I can't hang clothes out that much, especially with the wet spring/summer we are having here in W WA.

I had to get a smaller, flimsy version...They do not hold heavy things well at all.... Oh what I would give for a decent clothespin! :thumbup:
And you're right, the newer ones are cheesy! These old ones last forever, if they get discolored, I soak them in bleach solution and dry out in the sun on a table. |

Love hanging out laundry for the bright fresh feel of the clothes. Sorry to say, (shamefully) that I keep the pins in a bucket. One thought for those looking for a shortcut is to find and old dress and sew the bottom closed for a nifty bag.

I do and love it. A couple of years ago, I just purchased an infant/toddler outfit at a garage sale for .25 cents. Sewed the legs closed and put it on a hanger and that is my cheap clothes pin bag. It works great. Just make sure the neck opening is large enough for your hand full of pins.

Love hanging cloths out. Thanks for the neat idea for the clothes pin bag.
