Pattern Release: Lovely Laundry Bag

I have another pattern I designed ready to show you!  Here is the Lovely Laundry Bag.  If you had a laundry bag like this, wouldn't it make actually doing the laundry less of a chore?


$7.00 USD

This pattern has been retired.


These bags are sturdy and easy to put together.  I first decided I needed a laundry bag when traveling with my family and all the dirties were mixed right in the suitcase with everything else!  I needed a way to sort them out and carry them home.  And why not make it pretty too?

These laundry bags whip up easily using jelly roll strips - and if you like applique, you can add a little "Laundry" label to your bag.  Not up for applique?  The plain striped bag looks adorable too.

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner, some experience with fusible appliqué  

Make the bags in 3 sizes - 
   Mini 13”x 17”, Standard 22” x 28”, X-Large 29” x 35”

One jelly roll will make one M or XL bag and 3-4 XS bags



And here it is in my "laundry room" aka the hallway between the house and garage.  Not very good lighting here - but you can see it gets some good use when we travel up to visit grandparents!


This pattern consists of 14-pages of instructions plus step-by-step photos AND an applique template sheet.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the pattern...
(and because I know someone will ask....Drill is a material that is heavier and more durable than quilting weight cottons, but is lighter than denim or canvas.  It works perfectly for a laundry bag and is available at your large fabric/craft stores.)




Hope you like the Lovely Laundry Bag!
