I’m so excited to share these bags with you! I came up with the idea for my clothespin bags one particularly hot summer. Because my laundry room is on the main floor of our house, I try not to use it during the heat of the day. My husband installed a clothesline on our back deck for me to hang clothes on. I was keeping my clothespins in an old, ratty basket and decided to make something I could hang from the line to hold the pins. Additionally, I try to be aware of recycling and upcycling where I can; I think it is the environmentally conscious thing to do. One of the ways I upcycle is to purchase the used burlap coffee bean sacks at our local coffee roaster. They are really inexpensive and I love crafting and sewing with the burlap.

These can be made with your favorite cotton print, or with upcycled materials
