I had a little rotting peg bag incident a few weeks ago. My beloved left my handmade peg bag out in the rain over a weekend and by Monday my wooden dolly pegs had rotted and my poor bag was all mouldy.
I grabbed a couple of meters of this beautiful fabric at Festival of Quilts and set to and made myself a brand new peg bag.
The pattern was from this lovely book by Dandelion Designs Mandy Shaw.
Although my old peg bag was beyond help I did manage to salvage the little wooden coat hanger from the last peg bag it scrubbed up quite well.
The intention was to use a green spotty contrasting fabric for the inside but in my haste to put it all together I cocked it up! I didn't have the energy or the inclination to unpick it all so I left it as it was, I do still love it, and not a raw seam in sight.
I think I will get in early and enter this as my September monthly make
if you are playing too pop over to the group and join in HERE.
Back Soon

That is so cute. I love the design and will definitely look out that book. Can see a few Christmas presents looming. Though reading your last post I don't know why I am thinking of doing anything else as we are up to our ears in unforeseen decorating!!
Lovely peg bag, hope your family are all under strict instructions to make sure that doesn't get left out in the rain!
Ah I love it - so cute!
Oooh, lovely! Didn't he do that before? He is lovely though, so we'll let him off, this time. I LOVE the peg bag AND the pegs. I've been thinking of getting some of those 'proper' dolly pegs as mine keep coming apart. xx

That is absolutely gorgeous! I'm thinking about peg bags as Christmas gifts actually, along with some fabric covered pegs like these: http://pinterest.com/pin/130815564146522797/
