This was my peg bucket.
It said 'PEGS' in big friendly letters on the side, and so I always believed that it must have some special powers to make it perfectly suited to peg storage... and yet it was almost completely unfit for purpose.
Sometimes I found snails living inside it.
Then I had a revelation: other people use peg bags. Last week's phone cosy process works equally well for a simple little bag. I scaled it up a little, added a shoulder strap, and used a morsel of precious Japanese linen for the flap.
The stripy fabric is from Cath Kidston (with a sturdy interfacing) and the lining is grey gingham from Ikea.
I feel like a proper grown-up with my bespoke peg bag, and it lives indoors, where there are no snails.
Why didn't I think of that before?
Most fabulous peg bag EVER! (I keep mine in a wire basket)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Much better than my old Oxiclean bucket that I keep mine in.;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome peg bag!
ReplyDeleteI have a cane basket but this is much nicer.
Thank you all!
ReplyDeleteLooks much more user friendly than the bucket you had before :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carolyn - it really is! Only problem now is what to do with the bucket... I may have to bring it inside for sewing storage.
