Making a peg bag is a great way to add some creativity and functionality to your laundry routine. Whether you’re an experienced seamstress or a beginner looking for a fun project, making your own peg bag can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

To get started, you’ll need some basic materials. You’ll need a durable fabric to serve as the body of the peg bag, as well as a coordinating fabric for the lining. You’ll also need a sturdy hanger, some ribbon or bias tape for the hanger loop, and a few basic sewing supplies such as thread, pins, and a sewing machine.

The first step in making your peg bag is to cut out the pieces of fabric for the body and lining of the bag. You’ll want to cut two identical pieces from the main fabric and two identical pieces from the lining fabric. The size and shape of the pieces will depend on your personal preference, but a standard size for a peg bag is around 12 inches wide by 15 inches tall.

Once you have your fabric pieces cut out, it’s time to start assembling the bag. Begin by sewing the two main fabric pieces together along the sides and bottom, leaving the top open. Next, repeat the process with the lining fabric, but this time leave a small opening at the bottom for turning the bag right side out later.

After both the main fabric and lining are sewn together, it’s time to attach the hanger loop. Cut a piece of ribbon or bias tape to your desired length, fold it in half, and then place the raw edges between the main fabric and lining at the top of the bag. Sew the loop in place, making sure to reinforce the stitching for added durability.

With the hanger loop attached, it’s time to join the main fabric and lining together. Turn the main fabric right side out and slip it inside the lining so that the right sides are facing each other. Sew around the top edge of the bag, making sure to leave the small opening in the lining for turning.

Once the bag is sewn together, carefully turn it right side out through the opening in the lining. Use a pencil or turning tool to push out the corners and smooth the seams. Then, hand stitch the opening closed.

Finally, it’s time to add any finishing touches to your peg bag. You can personalize it with applique, embroidery, or other embellishments, or simply enjoy it as is. Attach the hanger to the top of the bag and your peg bag is ready to use!

Making your own peg bag is a fun and easy project that can add a touch of style and functionality to your laundry routine. Whether you choose a bold, colorful fabric or a more understated design, your homemade peg bag is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you hang out the washing. So grab your materials and get sewing – you’ll be thrilled with the results!
