Clothespin Apron


My DH recently put up my clothesline. I was getting tired of carrying my clothespins out in a ziploc bag. I didn't want to leave them out there on the line. Soooo, I made this clothespin apron. I found the pattern and instructions at Mother Earth News.

You just got to love Mother Earth News!
The apron is a grea idea. I never thought of that. It makes sense. I just have a bag that hangs on the line. Your idea is way better!

I am going to look for this pattern, as I hate to leave a bag of pins outside, here in Florida it usually ends up with some huge bug in it! This is a wonderful idea. I love you blog!!!

Juri: It was super easy to make. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.

Wonderful idea. I use to make mine by sewing a tshirt or dress bottom together and sewing the top on a hanger. I have also made one from the seat part of Levi's. You have to carry them in and out but just hang them in the laundry room.

Henny Penny: Thanks!

Gail: Yeah, I've seen those and made a few. But I liked the fact that I can pop them off and on the line and basically stick them in my pocket.

Lisa. Thanks! I love it! I'm thinking I need to make more and open an Etsy shop. Some day. LOL
