Most of the newer neighborhoods don't allow clotheslines, they think they are tacky. My electric bill is about $100 lower in the summer due to the clothesline. My house was built in 1965, didn't have a dryer until 20 yrs ago when my DH put the wiring in for one. He grew up in our house.

I re-made Mom's clothespin bag and hanging clothesbag. The previous one was at least 60 years old! I hang sheets, wool sox and bras outside to dry. I agree that nothing smells as good as the smell of sheets hung outside!

I always dry my clothes outside - weather permitting. Can't wait to hang them outside again. Love the bags.

If I could I would. Ours fell (rusted) few years ago and landlord wouldn't let us put up another one.

My grandmother used to freeze dry her sheets in the winter. She'd leave them just so long then bring them back into the house. Press and they were the best smelling sheets you ever wanted to sleep on. It was a must during flu season. Changed the sheets on daily basis during flu season. She also had the WHITEST sheets. My DH thought I was nuts but was very ok. Couldn't believe I wanted to replace the clothesline.

I live in the country have had a clothes line all my life. I have never had a dryer. We have a wood furnace and that get used with an indoor clothes line down cellar. Also have several wooden rack dryers. much prefer the fresh smell of the out doors. I used a plastic bag pinned to my clothesline to put my pins in. I find that it is difficult to get good clothes pins now. They are so thin and do not hold up (much like many other things now adays.

I still dry my laundry outside. I love line dried sheets. It also conserves energy. That is a really cute bag!
