I made several of these clothespin bags last summer, sold some and gave some as gifts. I found the pattern in a very old magazine from the thrift store. Sorry I don't have a pdf pattern,don't know how to do that yet.
Hope you like my creation.

This is adorable. It would also look great in a babies room for hiding away hats,scarves, and mittens.
Thanks for the show and tell!

I love this project! Congratulations on being so original! :)
I was wondering if it wouldn't have been a bit better to include your measuring/instruction information in the description area of each step....

I made this Little Dress Clothes Pin Bag and I had a little trouble understanding the instructions as they are soo hard to see for an old bag like me. I winged mine and it came out pretty good if I say so myself. I'm going to make a few more to give as gifts and such. I can't tell if you have the skirt sewn on just the front or not, it looks like you do. I made mine so the skirt and waistband goes all the way around the body and I didn;t make the bottom of the body round. I just left it the way it was and then sturned it wrong side out after stitching on the skirt and stitched the bottom closed. They can be used for just about any thing you want t oput in them. Even those placstic grocery bags. LOL! Well take care and have a great day and thanks for the pattern. Huggies, Fay P.

Hi Marian,
I have been looking for this, for a long time. I was given one as a gift, and have been hoping that I would not have to tear it apart to make one. I am having problems making out your pieces, and how to draw them out. Would I be able to send you postage, if you might be able to draw them out for me? I usually draw my own patterns also, on grocery bags.
