Hiya, my kid is no different from any other when it comes to dirty clothes lying about  :rolleyes: The good wife showed me a plain laundry bag and I said she wouldn't use it and we weren't paying $80 for one either  :laughing: but then I got thinking  :thinking: what if one had her favourite anime character on it? So I'm hoping this will give her a little bit of motivation to use it. As always ... as cheap as possible  :thumb:

Excellent! Is that a ready made transfer or do you have a transfer cutting machine?

Looks good.


She might use it if you refuse to wash anything that doesn't land in it (or any other suitable receptacle)

The character was hand drawn (reference from the net). I really need to find some proper pens to do this sort of thing instead of a pen for writing your name on labels  :thinking: Would save a lot of time.



I'll be sure to update if it get's used, probably not  :rolleyes: lol

Wow! Even more credit! Fabric pens are available, the fabric is then ironed to set the colour. I'm not sure you'd get that lovely rich deep black though.

You most definitely deserve a decent set of pens!!!   :thumb:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I now have Laundry Bag envy!   <3

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Thanks for the kind words  :embarrassed: I like cheap and this was as low cost as I could get it  :) Canvas and muslin are perfect for this sort of thing.
Kidda hasn't used it yet  :boohoo: lol but her friends are already asking for something similar which this time ... is a no because of time involved.
Think I'll put fabric pens on my list to Santy this year ... just in case I'm finally on the good list  :laughing:

Again, thanks for the comments ... much appreciated  :embarrassed:

That is absolutely super.  Well done although unlike your wife I would have taken the easy route out and bought one.  Really impressed @SewCanDad
