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.)
