I’ve been up to my neck marking at home for the last couple of days, whilst simultaneously smoothing feuds been my two children who are on half term this week, but I thought I’d share a quick and simple home project I completed a while ago.
These little beauties hang on the back of our wardrobe door and I use them constantly for separating ‘delicates’ (and fragile home sewn items…) from the rest of the wash. I used a couple of ‘granny chic’ pillowcases I picked up for practically nothing at a local charity shop. They even had a lovely ‘crispness’ to them, so suspect they’d hardly ever been used. The tutorial I used (somewhere on the internet, but I just googled and there’s a whole host of them out there) involved simply chopping off some of the length, re hemming and adding a contrasting ribbon to the top. I had some lovely, old lace in exactly the same muted colour in my stash (another charity shop find) so added this too. I think they make a welcome splash of colour to our muted colour scheme.
I even made a couple of very quick and simple ‘bird’ lavender bags (using Cath Kidston’s Sew template) to use up the cut off fabric, so my awaiting laundry smells good too.
Sometimes the simplest makes are the most satisfying 🙂

These little laundry bags are real beauties, the fabric is lovely! I have been struggling with garment sewing so I think that an instant gratification project is exactly what I need, thanks for the inspiration !
Thank you! Pretty and useful always good in my book. Good luck, will look forward to seeing what you come up with 🙂
Such a satisfying little project. Beautiful colour choice on your fabric ; )
Thank you. I made them a while ago, but still really pleased with them 🙂
