Lovely Peg Bags
Crochet Peg Bag
Pegs are a boon for people who dry their clothes on the clothesline. At the same time they are pain too, because, you just can’t find one when you need one. Sounds familiar, well the peg bags are designed to relieve you of that very pain. Well that was the original intent, nowadays though these bags are as much about utility as they are about creative expression.
Most popular peg bag designs include a clothes hanger that is used to hold the bag in place. There are other variations too like the use of handles to have the bag hanging from your shoulder rather than from the clothesline. But hangers seem to be the most common ones. If you are planning on making your own peg bag pattern, going for the hanger-based model is simple. The best pattern would be a dress pattern. We hang our dress on the hangers all the time, so why not make a dress-like clothespin bag?
Peg Bag Dress
You can choose any dress that would fit an infant. For the boys it can be shirts and for girls it can be a frock or some other cute dress. Cut out the shape accordingly and stitch it along the edges. Now place the hanger appropriately and you have your peg bag ready.
The next question is the size of the peg bag, how big do you want it. That to a large extent is determined by the hanger you choose. The bag cannot be too small that the hanger sticks out nor too large that it doesn’t fit the hanger. So fix the shape and size of the bag based on the hanger. You can use multiple pieces of cloth to make your bag or fold a single large piece as you desire.
Lastly come the finishing touches. Use some props to enhance your peg bag. Pockets, and other accessories stitches on the bag pattern enhance its looks.
