Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Clothes Peg Bag
If you’re tired of constantly losing your clothes pegs or leaving them outside to be blown away by the wind, a clothes peg bag is a quick and easy solution to your laundry woes. Follow our step-by-step guide to make your very own clothes peg bag.
Materials Needed:
- 1 yard of sturdy fabric
- 1 yard of ribbon or string
- Thread
- Scissors
- Sewing machine or needle
Step 1: Cut the Fabric
Begin by folding the fabric in half and cutting it into a rectangular shape, approximately 16 inches wide and 20 inches long. This will be the main body of your clothes peg bag.
Step 2: Sew the Bottom and Side Edges
With the fabric still folded in half, sew the bottom edge and one of the side edges together. This will leave one side open for the opening of the bag.
Step 3: Create the Hem and Insert Ribbon
On the top edge of the bag, fold the fabric over twice to create a hem. Then, cut two small holes on either side of the bag and thread the ribbon or string through them. This will create a drawstring closure for your bag.
Step 4: Add a Hook
Attach a hook or hanger to the back of the bag using the ribbon or string. This will allow you to hang your clothes peg bag on the clothesline while you do your laundry.
Step 5: Personalize Your Bag
Finally, you can personalize your clothes peg bag by using fabric paints, embroidery, or applique to add a design or your name to the front of the bag.
And that’s it! With some simple sewing skills and a few materials, you’ll have your very own clothes peg bag that will keep your pegs safe and easy to find.
