I managed to find a few "me" hours today and did some cutting up and sewing together. Not the most exciting of projects, but a (another) lovely lady at church, Bea, asked for a peg bag that would go around her neck so pegs were easy to reach
I started by cutting 4 rectangles 10" X 11", and cut a scoop along the short side of one pair
I stitched each rectangle to a scooped rectangle, (leaving a gap in the base of one pair)
I turned one right side out and put that inside its twin, and arranged a 36" web strap, and stitched around the top
I snipped the curved edge
And turned it through the opening inside
And then took a rubbish photo!!!!!
Not sure husband's photo is much better, but here it is
Hope Bea likes it
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Oh the joy of a few hours to sew! Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's cute. I need to do something like this. I've always kept my pegs on the line, but since we've moved to a very hot, sunny area, the pegs detriorate so quickly in the sun and seem to be constantly breaking.
ReplyDeletevery useful might make one myself as I have one one coat hanger that I hang from my waistband but it tends to fall off
ReplyDeleteMy peg bag has definitely seen better days Benta, perhaps I should be following your lead :)
ReplyDeleteGreat peg bag! I need a new peg bag, mine (one I made earlier) is fraying at the top! I had been scouring Pinterest for something "just me" for some time! Your bag is just what I need ..... now to find those few hours! Thanks for the idea!
