Peg Bag

Peg Bag

Peg bags are small utility bags designed to hold pegs or clothespin. They are pretty handy when it comes to arranging the wet clothes on the clothesline for drying. Having all the pegs in a common, accessible place is a huge relief and lot of comfort. For many though, these peg bags are not just a place to collect the pegs; they are also a medium of expressing creativity.

The basic idea for any peg bag is that it would be something that hangs on a regular hanger. Though some people add cloth handles, the use of hangers is the most popular means of hanging the bag. So when you are looking for interesting peg bag patterns, you need to visualize what will go well with a clothes hanger.

Little Dress Peg Bag

Well the answer obviously would be clothes, so why not experiment with little dress shaped bags! A small frock, mini dress, a cute little shirt are all great peg bag patterns.  Again, the focus should be on your hanger. Since the peg bag is going to hang from a hanger use that hanger to determine the dimensions of your dress or shirt along with the sleeves. Cut out the desired shapes of cloth and sew the edges together. Once you’ve stitched along the edges, you just need to place the hanger in the right position and turn it inside out.

An important thing that you must remember while creating the fancy peg bag patterns is the focus on measurements. While the whole design of the pattern revolves around the hanger, you would also have to use some imagination in visualizing the final bag while cutting the cloth itself. For the more adventurous ones, you could take a large piece of cloth and stitch the single piece into a peg bag too.

Once you nail down a pattern that works well for you, it is time to start improvising on it. For example you can add pockets to the dresses, or belts and other such accessories to make it an attractive peg bag.
