Saturday I tried to make a clothespin bag for my Etsy Shop using some pretty striped fabric. The lining fabric was a perfect match and I was pleased with how it was turning out. But, somehow in the process of trying to match the stripes and not keeping my mind completely on what I was doing, I got the opening too high up on the bag.
Oh well, I really like it, so now I have my own bag for recycling plastic grocery bags. It goes with my laundry room/pantry area too! You can see a plastic bag sticking out the opening, ready to be used as a small trash can liner or lunch bag.

It's always a good thing when you can still use something that you spent so much time on to create, but didn't turn out perfectly. Good job!
You are so clever! I don't have a clothesline, but that is so useful that maybe I'll make one for my grocery bags.
it looks great, we never seem to have time to make those "just for me" projects so it was just ment to be LOL

Great idea to repurpose it for something else!!
I often create for everyone else so it takes a flop for me to get one for myself!
I like your clothespin bag and the idea for using it for storing plastic bags.
I agree with Eileen, that is clever!

Hi Debbie,
How pretty. I am going to be ready for a fall purse and wallet next month if you have time to make me a set. i will e mail you and get the fabric to you.

Great Idea!
I love the fabric and at least you were able to salvage it. That is a great idea to use it for bags.
very useful! thanks for the idea!
