Our unique wire framed bags are all hand made. My husband bends the wire and I sew the bags. It's our own pattern based off of a vintage bag found in his grandfather's estate. I've updated and adapted it to current times... It features a magnet on the lid to keep it open while you're hanging your clothes out. The wire frame on the bottom of the bag keeps the bag open - for easy access while you're busy wrangling wet clothes.
All seams are cut with old fashioned pinking shears (to keep the edges from fraying out) and it is all sewn on my 1970's Bernina sewing machine (thanks Mom!).
The original curtain is what I think is a heavy polyester (there were no fabric content tags on the curtain) - it is a nice and sturdy fabric for holding all of those pins! The inside lid fabric is quilters cotton. All in all, it's machine washable (simply remove the wire before putting it into the wash) and should last for years.
Lidded clothespin bags are great for keeping your pins from bouncing out while on the line! Growing up in Kansas with all of the wind, that was always a battle... the lid on this bag will help keep the pins where they belong. It also works well for keeping the pins in while you carry them in and out of the house.
Each bag is a one of a kind! I also do custom bags upon request - please contact me for details!
