My two latest projects - clothespin bag and bow tucks tote
#1
After a sewing hiatus of about 9 months (remember, I am in school fulltime), I finally sat down this past weekend and made myself this Bow Tucks tote (without the ties) and this cute little clothespin bag to hold all my pins.
I have a great clothesline with about a 30 foot span and 4 lines total. Sometimes I fill the lines all up, so I have alot of pins and needed a bigger bag.
I have had the flower fabric for about a year. I just love the colors. The button was an old one my mom used when she made my sis a robe back in the late 50's early 60's. I thought it went well with the fabric.
I had lots of fun making both of these, but especiallly the bag. Hope you like them.
Be patient - it may take a few minutes to post all pics.

I really cannot remember where I got the fabric for the clothespin bag. I have had it about three years.
I wish I had about three to four more yards as I want to make a curtain to go above my washer/dryer so the cats will stop jumping up there.
Glad you like them. I had so much fun making the bag I think I will make another and enter it in the state fair.

Two useful projects!! The fabric for the clothespin bag is perfect and I love those bow tucks with all of the pockets. I'm a newly retired teacher and I remember how sweet the summer months are. Enjoy your break.
