May Crafty Secrets Linky Party

Good morning!

I hope everyone is having a good week.

We have had beautiful weather in Anchorage

and received much needed rainfall yesterday.

The trees and grass are so much greener today!

Anywhoo ~ I'm stopping in this morning

with a project I've had in mind for awhile.

Crafty Secrets hosts a linky party on the 

first Monday of each month.

So, this was the perfect opportunity

to make a clothespin bag.

I'm one of those odd people who enjoy

hanging out my laundry (weather permitting!)

(sorry for the poor display!)

 

I started by sewing the muslin bag.

I actually saved the the hanger from my 

previous (store bought) clothespin bag.

>DH helped with the grommets.<

I printed the bird image (sized it 6x6) from Crafty Secrets

Illustrations CD #2 onto an Iron-on

transfer sheet, cut it down and ironed it

directly to the muslin bag.

I added Stickles to the edge of the 

transfer and a large fabric flower

to finish it off.  Two rows of lace

were sewn to the top edge of the bag.

 

The finished bag is a little bigger than I 

had planed 16 x 9.  It will hold lots

of clothespins this summer when I

hang out my laundry!

I'm also sharing my project with the following:
