The Laundry Bag

I recently purchased all new jeans for my 12 year old and was trying to figure out what to do with his million pair of old, too short ,too small jeans when I came across this pin.

I was wowed again and immediately went out and got a few supplies. I couldn't wait to come home and make these adorable bags!
BUT WAIT!
Oh my goodness, my 2 year old needed a new laundry bag! Oh! Wouldn't that be great!? I would just double the size of the largest one and i'd be good to go! (Insert reminder of blog name here)

So, I got half way through my project and realized that there wasn't  a way to get this bag to stand up straight like the adorable ones in the original pin. It was way too big and heavy.

So here is what I ended up with.... NOT at all what I envisioned, but functional and hand made all the same!

This is the outside - It will hang on the wall instead of standing up.

Inside is fully lined (yea me!) and edged with
the same material I used for the curtains.



Here is the original pin that started this project (that looks NOTHING like my bag)
which originated from Daily Grommet Blog 
A big Thank You for the inspiration!!!
