When pretty things need washing

January 9, 2016

So with my ever increasing collection of handmade lingerie I decided it was time I start taking a bit better care of my creations. I've always been a chuck it all in the washing machine together type of person.  I've only ever ruined two shirts dong this, so I'm quite happy with those odds.

However I did decide it was time to start taking care of my own creations a little better and I decided I needed lingerie bags.  However why would you just go and buy a lingerie bag, that is way too easy and mainstream.  So I decided to make some.

Lingerie Bags

I tracked down the zippers and mesh fabric on AliExpress as I couldn't find any mesh locally and I just couldn't pass up 100 zippers for under $15.

Lingerie Bags

The whole construction process was rather simple, I raided my quilt binding scraps to get the binding fabric for these.  I plan on doing up a little tutorial for these at some point, they really are so easy though.

Here's to making washing more fun!

  1. Clever and pretty! My current washing bags are looking a bit tired so I might need to follow this example and make myself some lovely new ones.
