“Crochet a Recycled Clothes Pin Bag – Free Pattern”

I love the unusual things you dig up for us. This is one I may try to make. My grandma had a clothespin bag, but it fell apart quite a while ago. I’ve been looking for something that I could take outside with me. I’ve just been tossing a handful into my laundry basket as I head out, but I think I would prefer a bag.

I’ve just been tossing a handful into my laundry basket as I head out, but I think I would prefer a bag.<<<

If you want a quickie bag, use and old t-shirt, sew the bottom closed, about half way for an adult or use a childs old t-shirt, put it on a wire hanger, and bend the hook almost closed, so it won’t fall off the line, but can be moved.

I save coated wires from phone and computer lines, love them for use instead of baling wire or twistems, with a good tight twist or two, one could even get out of sewing.

LOL, but then yes, a crocheted bag is something I would have made once upon a time.

Once upon a time, we used little girls dresses sewn closed at the bottom and a wire hanger.

Or, my friend Mary loved dreaming up a use for old ragged Levi’s, we used the seams to crochet rugs for the doorways, they catch dirt well, as does the modern hay bale twine.

She made a clothes pin bag, from the top of a pair of Levi’s, think, she sewed the hanger to them and used the fly to get the pins in and out.
