    Default Anyone have a clothespin bag pattern?

    I have no idea if this is in the right catagory.....

    Anyway, I got my closhesline up on Saturday. Yay!!! I realized I still have my old clothespins, but no longer have the little bag that hangs on the line to hold them. Anyone have a pattern to make one?

    That being said -- I've bent a coat hanger, made a cloth "sack", then sewed the top of the sack to the coat hanger (made a casing and sewed it to the hanger.

    I've also punched small holes in the bottom of a large tin can, added a wire handle

    a plastic milk jug with the side cut part way to allow easy access to the clothes pins, and a small piece of the handle cut away to allow it to hang on the line

    That's funny that I saw this post.. My SIL just taught me how to make one yesterday but we used a metal coat hanger.
    We measured how much fabric we would need, then sewed the sides together, then sewed a hem around the rounded coat hanger! I haven't sewn since highschool and she measured the wrong way or was thinking something else but for my first attempt the sewing was great! The bag itself is hideous but I love it! It makes me smile and laugh when I look at it! I wish I could post a pic!

    Just wash a milk jug, cut off the front top half (quarter?), then, at the bottom of the handle, cut clear through it. You can hang this over your clothesline, and put your clothespins in it!
