Sewing Stories ~ Peg Bag

Years and years ago my mum had a homemade peg bag. I seem to remember that it was brown and not very attractive. I had a plastic peg basket which has now snapped and broken so I thought I'd make one.

I hopped onto Pinterest and found some ideas. I came across this pattern from The Sewing Directory.

I printed out the pattern and adjusted the width and the line at the top to fit my coat-hanger. I used material from a stash that I'd got free with an order from The Tabbycat so I had to piece together the fabric to fit the pattern.

I got it all sewn up and put my pegs in it to find they wouldn't all fit in. So I unpicked the bottom and added some extra material to make the bag deeper. As I'd already pieced it, it looked like part of the design so that was fine!

Here it is, with all of my pegs in it - what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by,
