Never Thought It Would Be So Hard

To find a dang cloths pin bag. We have been everywhere looking for one but not one store in our town has one. So far I have tried Walmart, Target, Lowes, Homedepot, Bed Bath and Beyond, Pier One and Wallgreens. Sooo I am pretty sure we are not going to be finding one in our town. 

So do people not hang clothes out to dry anymore? Why not? I mean for us it saves us money, keeps our house cool in the summer cause the dryer is not going as much and it suns our diapers to keep the stains down and the bacteria out.

I have taken to hanging our clothes and all stuff out there to dry. I even bought more line to make more of my ghetto clothes line I had posted about before. I now have 5 lines strung all the way across and a half line strung between that I normally use for undies or diaper covers.

I do have to say that I hate hanging the clothes out on the line cause here in California it get's pretty hot out there on the concrete slab we have and there is no shade. I try to get out there either late at night or early morning but today I did get stuck out there at about noon time and it was hot.

So after much searching I found a pattern online to make my own clothes pin bag and I may try it. You use an old childs dress or button up shirt. You sew the bottom shut and then use a child's clothes hanger to use for the hanger. I know I have something hanging around here I could use so tomorrow the search will be on. 

I just hope I can find something cause I really am getting sick of bending over and trying to get pins when I am holding the clothes in place. It would be great to have the pins right at hand level so that I can get my job done faster so I can get back in the nice cool house.

I will try to get some pictures if I do succeed at my cloths pin bag and post the pattern also so that if any of you all are having issues finding your own clothes pin bag then you can stop the search and make your own.
