CLOTHES PEG CADDY
Here the raw edges have been
overlocked and are exposed to give a rugged outdoor appearance.
The finished depth is 36 cms.
The finished width is 26 cms.
The finished length of each
plaited tie is 70 cms.
Varying widths of horizontal
fabric strips are overlocked and then stitched to a backing of calico.
The side seams of the bag are
overlocked before machine stitching with a straight stitch.
The motifs have been cut using
the Brother “ Scan ‘N’ Cut”
machine, and were cut from the adhesive PVC that is used to cover school books.
The motifs are pressed in place using a quick touch of a hot iron. Use Bakewell
paper to cover the motif and
protect the surface of the iron while the motif is being pressed into position.
I used a straight stitch to
machine around the edges of the motifs.
For the ties many pieces of fabric
of varying lengths were overlocked.
Each ‘tube’ is approximately 2.5 cms wide. The ties are machine stitched in
place. The completed bag is tied to the handle of the clothes basket trolley, and
adjusted to the desired length.
