Colourful, characterful and designed to be different!
Each and every peg bag I make has been drawn by hand, cut by hand and then lovingly hand stitched over many hours, just to add cheer and fun to wash/laundry day to all you folks out there!
With open season on the dining room table…what I really mean is… now Christmas is over, the conservatory is MINE !! Let the crafting seriously begin!!!!!!!
OMGoodness π π π I’m in my element, making such a mess as I create new little Peg Bags. There is so much fabric and felt adorning my table I may have to resort to sunglasses, even with the depressing days outdoors.
A couple of days and much sewing has resulted in….
Washday at Toadstool town….
And, A cheeky little ‘Apple Bug’ with of course, a few little buttons thrown in for pleasure! Making Peg Bags means lots of routing through my button collections…Happy Days!! π
More on the way soon π

OMGOODNESS how cute, you are bringing a hint of brightness to a very damp dull ‘Tangled Backwoods’
Aw thank you Mrs P!! If its any consolation, north of the ‘Tangled Backwoods’ is also very soggy damp and depressing……unless, you put full concentration onto my dining table activities π
It seems the sun is having a break from Old Blighty !! I should think north of the ‘Tangled Backwoods’ the dining table has been awash with colourful fabric and thread, giving off an iridescent glow, I wonder if your neighbours are wondering if your home is being used as a set for the latest filming of Dr Who
LOL I bet if the neighbours could look down into the conservatory roof, they’d be thinking I have invented a giant kaleidoscope π
Roll on the return of the sun!!
A giant kaleidoscope sounds amazing !!! I want / need one to brighten the soggy ‘Tangled Backwoods’
You sounds desperately fed up of the depressing weather! Maybe, as a suggestion…….go find a very old cheap pair of sunglasses, next, scratch the heck out of the lenses with some sharp implement ( a compass would do very well for that), next find all your most colourful yarns and chuck them into heap on the floor, now put on the scratched glasses and twirl around many times…. LOL might cheer you up π
How clever are you!!!
Just a little experimentation, but, LOTS of fun to make! I’m so pleased you like them π
These are so wonderful and useful! Looking forward to seeing more! π
I’m doing a little juggling act of different makes atm so hopefully there will be more coming very soon! π
Cute! I was thinking I might make peg bags as presents this year. Not as cute as yours, but applique is such a lovely way to personalise. Good to hear you’re making a mess π
Thanks Bekki π It is a really good way to give individuals something special that’s designs just for them!
…might have to scale down my messiness soon…I almost have a trench wall built up on the table now as I’m juggling a few different things simultaneously LOL π
As we’ve discussed before, we’re both good at messy. I’ve tidied mine over Christmas, but it’s building up again. Good luck with yours.
‘Messy’ Is just the shorthand version of ‘organised chaos’! I find it so satisfying to be able to fumble under two or three layers of a mountainous build up, knowing exactly where something I need is hiding π
π Only two or three?
The pile can be dozens of layers high, but somehow my brain keeps track of which layers I have left a tool/cotton reel between π
I’m impressed!
You won’t know yourself now you have your crafting space back – I surrendered my sewing room to guests for two weeks over Christmas and am delighted to have it back again. Mind you, seems the break has worked wonders for your creativity again:)
Don’t know about you, but, I get withdrawal symptoms when I have to give up my workspace, the first few days are usually spent pacing around, luckily during Christmas there is much to do to take one’s mind of it. I feel so much better back in my comfort zone now though π
