I have been working on a series of tips for hanging out your laundry. You can click back for basic tips and tips on picking clothespins. Today, I want to focus on picking a clothespin bag.
The debate is out there to leave clothespins on the line of to take them off. Personally, I bring my clothespins in every time. Maybe it is the look of a clean clothesline, or it is because I don't want to buy clothespins every year, but more likely it is because my mom brought in her clothespins.
Growing up, my mom always just sewed a bag that she put on the ground. Always worked great.
When I got clothespins from my grandma, I inherited a vintage bag similar to this clothespin bag
.
I love that I can hang it on the clothesline. Although, I would probably get better exercise bending over to get clothespins.
One of these days, my bag will probably fall apart. I think there is a limit on how many years the bag will last. When that happens I will look into buying one of these clothespin bags or I will try to make one like one of these below. The links under the picture will take you to the tutorial of how to make the bag.
