Wanted to share my new clothespin holder/bag that I got inspired about from the ones others have made here. My clothespins outgrew my basket so a larger bag was in order. I hang it on a store-skirt hanger that I got in a purchase sometime. It works great as the hook swivels and I can change out the bag when it wears out or I change my mind! You can see it on my blog below.

What a great looking clothespin bag, i love the fabric and weren't you clever to use a skirt holder to keep it on the line.

That is TOO CUTE! I love it especially since I have several but they're pretty boring....THAT is darling and I love "western" decor of any kind. Is that fabric something you bought? It really looks vintage (like when I was young..sad to say! LOL!). That one is just a great design too with the swivel and the skirt hangar...aren't you just the clever one!
Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thanks girls. I got ideas for the bag from looking around at what the gals here have done and that jumpstarted me to make one plus I really needed one and wanted something that reflects my personality...why I need my personality in a clothespin bag is beyond me!!! Aren't we funny farmgirls?
Sam, I did purchase this fabric..5 years ago on a trip to Wyoming (in-laws live there) in Pine Bluff? at The Huckleberry Patch. They also have a store online and I've never seen a fabric store with a better selection of western fabrics! I love that place. Anyhow, have held onto this fabric until a fun project and this was it along with a new apron that's in the sewing project line-up.

Rhonda, that is a great idea. I use caribiners (however you spell that) for water buckets when we're lambing, hang them on the "jugs" for each ewe. For the clothesline I have a "satellite dish" style facing upward. It's basically a big square with tiers of line between each of the 4 frame corners. It swirls around for easy loading and unloading. It wouldn't work well for the caribiner idea because of the 4 corners getting in the way but I love ingenuity and isn't it nice when it's something simple like that?
Funny hearing about you toting clothespins in and out. I was doing the same thing and throwing them in with the clean clothes as my basket got full. Gotta love a guy who keeps caribiners handy on his beltloops...like a ready-made hardware store or something! 
Bonne, if you can't find the website, I've got their business card around here somewhere. You can easily sit for an hour and look through their fabrics online. DH was quite patient with me in the store...I bought a little of this and a little of that and am still enjoying it 5 years later because it's so special to me I don't really want to use it up!

I love the bag. But I have to give a ROTFL, to your dog! That cracked me up. My beasties thought the poodle cut was fabulous!

Aimee...Sterling is a sight, that's for sure! If he only knew what he looked like he wouldn't strut around so proudly!! LOL. Last year he didn't tolerate me doing his tail so this year I was happy to get it done...had to leave that tuft on the end so he wouldn't put a sheep eye out traveling through the flock. Softens the blow.
