You know you’re going to miss them when they head off to college. But you won’t miss the laundry. And while a nice bag may not make laundry fun, it might entice them to do it on their own … before they come home. At least that was my hope last fall when I sent my daughter off for freshman year! And so far, so good.
As usual, finding the right fabric was key for me. It had to be sturdy, colorful, and with a modern attitude. Waverly cotton home dec from Jo-Ann Fabrics fit the bill perfectly. And since my daughter’s bag has worked so well, I’ve made a number of laundry bags for other students. With the exception of a great cow skin print, I’ve used Waverly home dec fabrics for all of them. Next I’ve got to find something for the guys, I hear they have laundry, too!
I also include a detachable zippered coin purse for ID, keys, and cash. Maybe a cool bag hasn’t made my daughter’s trips to the laundromat fun, but at least she can go in style.
