a laundry bag

My newly re-done laundry room really needed a laundry bag I could hang up just for delicates. Inspired by this one, I set out to make one for myself using a floral stripe (that matches my ironing table), an old wooden hanger, and some bias tape...

It's made very similar to the clothespin bags I made, only easier as I didn't bother with a lining.

Now I can do away with the small overflowing basket that can just be seen there on the floor...And that was my fun project for the day!

  1. The laundry bag looks so lovely Deb, and i thinks the fabric look so jummy :) Just like Greengate fabrics. I wish i had one!
    And another thing. I see a table with an Oilcloth on the top. How did you manage to attach it? Could you please explane it for me? Because i want to do it myself, but i have been thinking, and i still don`t have the answer to it.
    Enjoy your evening Deb! ;)

  2. Deb you must have the prettiest laundry room ever. Mine is cluttered to the rafters with extra tinned goods and just 'stuff'. Can you come over and sort mine out please?

  12. You've created a sweet and serene setting for doing laundry. I'd never want to leave! Love the baskets piled with little quilts and linens. Ours are piled with dirty socks, jeans and T shirts!

    Great space - I think we tend to forget how we need the beautiful in our everyday routine. Where did you find those great hangers?
