Hi, I just made myself one, but I made the pattern myself. I used a
coat hanger from a childs outfit. I put it on a piece of paper and drew
around it. I took a line vertically down on either side about 10" then
across. So as to make a rectangle with a shaped top. This was the
sewing line. I then cut two pieces of material and sewed around it,
leaving a gap at the top for the hanger hook to go through. I cut a
hole in one of the pieces of fabric approx 6" wide by 5" , placing the
hole towards the top of the material. I then turned the bag though the
hole I had cut and put the hanger inside. I then hand sewed bias
binding around the edge of the hole.

I hope this makes sense, its probably taken me as long to write as it
did to make!

There's a recipe for a clothespin bag on my web site at
http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ROUGHSEW/ -- search
the list of text files for "bags", click on "bags" and
search for "clothespin".

The recipe calls for upholstery fabric; I suggest coarse net
instead, as lint and dirt will fall on through, and you can
see stray objects that have gotten in with the pins.
