Clothespins

We're sad the old clothespin holder doesn't work well anymore.

Our happy days together are just memories now.

So let's make a new one!

Dayna picked the fabrics. 1930's reproductions with little strawberries.

We start with a pleated skirt.

Add a waistband.

Make some shirt lapels. Doesn't it look like a cute little bowling shirt? Don't look too closely at those lapels...

Almost done, but those lapels are still bugging me.

Nothing some buttons and a ribbon can't camouflage.

Transferring the old clothespins. If only everyone had a cute little helper like this! She sure makes my life a ton easier. Love this girl!

Hanging out and ready to work.

Nothing like clothes on the line. And yes...that is a heavy fleece snowman pajama top that Dayna wore on a 95+ degree day after the swimming pool earlier this week.

This is so cheery! My mom always had one like this but I used it as a teenager to store my 'nylons'and pantyhose.
It was cream and red w/blue and yellow flowers.

Loved following the journey from old to new (and your helper is adorable!)
