Laundry bags

I had some fabric I originally bought to make a blouse. Mostly because I loved the soft grey green colour. However the fabric was a bit sheer and synthetic, so actually not that suitable for a blouse for me.

After multiple years of languishing in my stash personal resource centre I have made it into laundry bags.

I had something like 3.2 metres of 150cm wide fabric, so made 1 large bag with a single drawstring and 4 medium bags with double drawstrings. The large one is serving as a liner in the laundry basket and the others will be for travel or storing spare bedding.

The large bag is approx 100cm x 75cm. The medium ones approx 75cm  x 55cm. I used a very fine synthetic cord which wanted to undo its knots, so heat sealed the knots and ends (candle flame).

That's a great idea for the extra fabric, you might could use the small ones for your shoes inside a suitcase when you travel
