Thanks, the metal part is probably from the 40's or 50's. I have never seen one like it. But I havent seen many clothes pin holders in my life, infact I am the only person I know with a clothes line, and I mainly use it to dry fabric after washing it.
I just love those anthro designs. Those are both aunt martha designs. The dishes I think still maybe recently out of print, but the oranges is a very old out of print set. I went to my local staples and it is 16¢ to copy a 11" x 17" ~ thinking, it may be fun to host a swap of embroidery designs... that way we wouldnt end up in a bidding war with eachother or the peeps who sell copies of these on line and ebay.

In todays mail I received a new Nancys Notions catalog and there is a pattern for a Clothespin Bag that looks like a little dress. Very cute and she has laundry themed fabric as well. www.nancysnotions.com

Elizabeth you did a great job on your clothes pin holder! It's kinda like the one my Mother had...opened at the top. I love it!!! So pretty.

That clothespin holder is pretty cool. It is a bent wire frame... too thick to bend by hand. One piece of wire has this loopy hook that goes over the line and the other one holds the fabric open. It is all held together by a brace in the middle, held together by a screw. The design of the clothes pin holder is a really good one and has held up well since it is about 70 yrs old. The nice part is that it was designed to be able to replace the sack part with minimal sewing skills.
DH and his friend has a wire bender, and said that they will make me another one too.... for the other side of the clothesline. So if it all goes well, I am sure they will be going into production.

Hi! Since I saw your clothspins I just had to go find some wooden ones to practice decorating. The freedom of variety is the best part!
I have a spot to put a new clothesline even if it is not long...at least I'll have one now!
Of course I need a bag. Many years ago in southern Missouri we all used a milk jug...plastic...cut the handle to slip over the line and cut a big hole in the front...there ya go!
Then could be decorated as ya wanted.
I also saw the little girls dresses ones but I haven't got that fancy (yet). Good old fashioned wire coathanger works fine for any type...I think. bend it however ya want.
I am enjoying the crafting forums....nice to meet all of ya.

Hey girls,
I found this on thefrugallife.com
clothespin holder from jeans
Clothespin holder : Take an old pair of blue jeans and cut off the legs. Sew the legs completely shut and any holes, leaving the waist alone. Cut a canvas belt or other long object into two strips. Now, sew them like suspenders to the jeans. Hang this on a coat hanger and you have a bag to hang on your clothesline to put the pins in. You may want to sew the top of all the strapping together under the hanger to keep it from falling off.

Linda,
What a great idea! I need to come up with a new one as mine is getting pretty thin and is not really big enough to hold all my clothespins.
