Clothespin Holder

My poor clothespins have been languishing in a plastic store bag for several years, ever since the holder that I've had for more years than I can recall literally fell apart.  During one of my fabric buying trips to JoAnn Fabrics this spring, I picked up some fun fabric to make a new one. 

I used a McCall's pattern, #M6051, which contains a number of cute laundry room accessories, some of which would look great in other rooms of the house, too.

I made a couple of changes to the pattern.  First, I interfaced the lining fabric with Craft Bond to give the bag extra stability.  I chose the lining fabric because it was thinner than the outer fabric.  I also used packaged double fold bias tape because I still find making my own to be tedious. 

Now all we have to do is start hanging the laundry outside, instead of using the dryer.
