Dirty Laundry
May 6th, 2007 by sarah
I’ve had the same dirty laundry basket for nearly 20 years. As you can imagine it was looking very, very tired and since my little friend decided it was a yummy treat to eat, a little bit bald. Ever since the Wash Tub Prints arrived I have wanted to make something to brighten up the laundry. I originally intended to make some wall pockets or wall hangings. I don’t think this will happen as Vanessa has brought home more artwork that needed a home.
Anyway this is the replacement basket for dirty clothes. Do you know it even works - all the socks have made their way there this weekend. I wonder if the novelty will last.
It’s made with Timtex to support the sides. Garry had the brilliant idea that I should make it hexagonal since that’s the way it was going naturally. Okay I say. If I had known the brain strain it would have caused I would have ironed it so I could make a round one instead. Have you ever tried working out how to draw a hexagon when you already have an exact finished size you need to make? The answer - circles!
Monica of Happy Zombie has made some great projects with the Wash Tub range of fabrics, she even came up with one of the little sayings.
That looks great!
That’s excellent Sarah… you’re so clever!
