I just made a bag to put my pegs in if my washing ever dries.


I'm going to have a very well coordinated house unless I get some new fabric!

hmmmm now that looks interesting - could do with a new peg bag - but i have so many pegs would need to increase size a bit maybe - wonder if further down Vicki has included a tut - guess who is working her way through the earlier part of this thread - btw loved that dress you made hun

aaaaawww cuddles those bags are fantastic.

When my baby bro had cancer ( he was 3 the first cancer he had) he had a horrid wiggy bag. but it was a donated one and tbh i think it was prob the last thing on his mind. but if he had been given a thomas one or something i could of imagined how his face would of lit up.

What a wonderful gesture.

If anyone has scraps to use up, and needs practice on the machine, please think about making some.

Danemi, if you are making a ric rac bag you are best deviating from the pattern and putting in concealed handles. Myself and fruitloop have both made the bag and its definately better with handles concealed rather than stitched to the side. Thought Id let you know before you start making it. Its a really good tute though.:)
