Clothespin Bag (Pix)

[rebbetzin]

A few years ago I saw a clothes pin bag made from a toddler sized dress. I found one at a Second Hand Store that worked for about three years. It was a cute little denim skirted dress with a flowered top.

Well, it finally got pretty faded, so this week I went looking for a new little dress to replace it.

I found the cutest dress!!

Here is the back of the dress.

It was very easy to make.

I decided to crochet over the hanger, but I may change it if I can find a nice pink plastic child size hanger.

I was so inspired I drug out my sewing machine and wiped off the 5 inches of dust and made myself one this afternoon.

That dress makes a perfect clothespin bag. You did a great job and the crocheted hanger looks nice.

My bag is made from 2 different quilt blocks, but I might try this when I need a new one.

OK, for the sewing impaired, how much would one of those cost me. Mine is all to shreds and I've got it held together with clothespins LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
