Is there anything that more comforting and homey than line dried sheet and clothes? It's finally that time of year again, and while we hung up our clothes line a few weeks ago our clothespin bag was a little worse for wear. I'd bought it at an estate sale a few years ago and loved the design so I remade it in new fabric. 
It's a genus pattern, which starts out as a square. The middle of each side is taken in so once it's sewn onto the hook it has four nice openings which are large enough to get a hand in, but not so big that the pins will fall out... I'm sure there has to be some hardware out there similar to this old hook, as I doubt it was made for just this purpose. Ahhh, the ingenuity of necessity.
This is sooo cute and very functional! I love it. :) Have a lovely week ahead.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Unfortunately, my city has an ordinance against clothes lines (boo!). So I can neither save energy nor get that fresh air-dried scent in my laundry, which is definitely one of my favorite memories of sleeping over at my grandma's house as kid -- the way her line-dried sheets smelled. Thanks for reminding me. :)

This reminds me of my great grandma so much and I don't even remember what her clothes pin holder looked like! Also reminds me to get after hubs to help me put up a clothes line in our back yard :).
ReplyDeleteAn ordinance against clotheslines? What a funny world we live in!
