Lined Linen Peg Bag and discount at Celtic Fusion fabrics



I received my order from the lovely Saints and Pinners a few days ago, and the card they sent with it has a picture of clothes hanging on a line, and it reminded me that I wanted to make a peg bag so I traced around my very old worn peg bag and made a new one. I might add a little bit of top stitching around the edges but the kids have worn me out today so I may just have to put me feet up instead.

Whilst stocking up on some supplies at the fabric shop, I came across this:



Its printed card with little holes in that your child sews around using a special childrens needle.

I will have to get this for my little girl when I have some spare pennies!, it would be good to get her into sewing.

...and look at these, I love these retro tins:



I remember making friendship bracelets on the school bus! I'd love one of these tins to keep my bits and bobs in.

I'd love to hear your comments on my makes, Im feeling a little lonely and do wonder if anyone (apart from the lovely Kandi) reads my ramblings! xxx

p.s There is 15% off at Celtic Fusion Fabrics till Wednesday!

  1. That peg bag is fantastic! Those tins are really special too, I think they may be re-released as I seem to remember them from many moons ago!

  3. I read your ramblings too :) I'm more of a lurker than poster but seeing as though I've just started my own blog I better change that. The peg bag looks fab, I've made a laundry bag in a similar design.

  9. What a sweet peg bag!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. Unless I post a link to a pattern, I'm usually making up the patterns for my kids' clothes. I'd probably learn a lot more if I followed patterns, but I usually just get an idea in my head and don't think to look to see if there are any similar patterns out there.

  10. lol Kandi, Its the only decent one I could find and taken about a year ago when I looked younger and thinner, I figured it would inspire me to get back into shape! lol.

    Thanks stas4949 x

    uk lass in US you are clever, I wish I was good at visualising a pattern but if there isn't any pictures in my pattern I find it difficult to do!

  11. Hi, I've just found your blog because you mentioned us (Saints & Pinners) - thanks! It's great that you recycle so much and use bought fabrics to add something a little different - it looks like you do a great job!
