Forum Challenge! Peg Bag (D)DModerator Joined: 15 Feb 2006 Posts: 528 Location: North Yorkshire Posted: 23 Mar 2006 04:23 pm Post subject: FORUM CHALLENGE! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following on from the Spring Swap....yes yes I know some of you(like me) haven't finished your "gift" yet but forwarned is fourarmed as somebody once said! Make an original peg bag!!!! I have had a word with Jesse and we both think this is a great idea. The challenge is to make it out of something a bit different but it has to serve the purpose of a peg bag! ie whilst a paper foled masterpiece may look good it wouldn't do very well in the rain... Details to follow ie time scales and practicalities but in the meantime get your thinking caps on. _________________ my new blog is here...early days yet! http://www.manicfish.com/myblog.php?bbn=mrsnesbitt Back to top Jesse Site Admin Joined: 02 Feb 2006 Posts: 2188 Location: West Sussex Posted: 23 Mar 2006 05:33 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds good to me Back to top Plocket Evergreen Joined: 16 Feb 2006 Posts: 865 Location: The playroom!

Front view 
Back view 
Back view with buttons undone for easier access. An old dress that J has outgrown, hand stitched the hem of the dress together, made the dress shorter at the same time otherwise the bag would have been too deep. Hung on a hanger. Easy peasy!

I suppose a pair of babygrows O-3 monthsm with a coat hanger across the top bit and through the arms won't do will it? You can undo the poppers where the belly is and stick your hands down the legs to get the pegs. Well I reckon it is brilliant for someone who doesn't have a sewing machine or can't sew Back to the drawing board _________________ I am at that purple age!
