It was sunny again this morning, despite the weather forecasts, which meant I could get a bit more laundry done. Since this is day two of making something every day, I thought I’d get some washing on the line & then decide what to make a start on from my ever-growing ‘to do’ list. I was thinking maybe a pinnie for Le Punk or a top for me, or bunting maybe… but having to drop pegs on the ground to fit the clothes on the line made me realise that I really couldn’t do without a peg bag any longer…
…so I busted out Kelly Doust’s The Crafty Minx, found an opped tea towel that I had been “saving” (for what I don’t know…) & made one.
Of course, not long after I finished it the sky clouded over, the temperature dropped & rain loomed, but it’s all ready for the next sunny day, which I hope comes sooner rather than later. I love how the donkey looks to be peeking out… I totally planned that. *coughs*
PS, Just a quick note to bias binding; I frikkin hate you.
Looks gorgeous, I love the tea towel! Next time you do binding sew it to the wrong side and then fold it over and top stitch the front...Youll end up with a perfect finish! Hmmm...I think I need a peg bag now!
ReplyDeleteOh that is super cute Vic. Mr B Binding isn't loved around here either. He must have a complex...
ReplyDeleteA peg bag! Brilliant! I so need one of them too.
ReplyDeleteYours is super cute Ms Vic, donkey peeping out and all.
i need a peg bag now!! and a little donkey and some nice green grass :)
ReplyDeletewell done, bias binding and all.
♥
I wish I needed a peg bag (alas my clothes never get hung on the line)!
ReplyDeleteIt might be easier to use straight cut binding rather than bias cut binding to bind a straight edge like that... it also may prevent swearing hee hee.
this is wicked!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great creative day today Vic. The peg bag is so cute, clever you.
ReplyDeleteSuperb - love it, and your bias binding looks profesh!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ... hearty congrats ;-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love it! If the Mr. hadn't chopped down my laundry line, I'd make one too!
ReplyDeleteI love this...I am so glad we don't hang our laundry but then I see stuff like this and I get a big jealous..CUTE!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love a good peg bag! And yeh, It's a very fine line between love and hate with bias binding for me. Love the look, hate the process.
ReplyDeleteNice work, I love the tea towel!
ReplyDeleteLove your new donkey peg bag! Hope it makes hanging washing more enjoyable! I hate hanging wet washing but I love using bias binding 'cos it makes my edges look so much neater.
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join you in making one thing a day, but since I'm ill and stressed out, I believe this is not going to happen... poor me... :(
;)
That is ace. Oh and I hear you about the bias binding!
ReplyDeleteLove it Vic! And doesn't that book simply rock!! Bias binding is such a pain in agree...maybe we could come up with a self adhering one...like double sided tape. Mmm I'm feeling an entrepreneurial moment coming on :)
