Laundry Bags & Gift Packaging

Looking to sew practical laundry bags to simplify your daily routine? With this sewing pattern, you can create three different sizes tailored to your needs! Whether as protection during washing, an organizer for travel, or even as an eco-friendly gift wrap, these bags are true all-rounders.

Three Sizes – Ready for Anything:

• Small (21 x 24 cm): Perfect for delicate items like bras, bralettes, or lace underwear.
• Medium (28 x 32 cm): Great for smaller garments like shirts or tops.
• Large (43 x 49 cm): Ideal for larger pieces like sweaters or short dresses.

All bags are rectangular and feature a zipper closure at the top for easy use. Practical and versatile!

Uses for Laundry Bags:

Do your socks disappear in the washing machine, or does delicate clothing with beads or sequins get damaged? These bags are perfect for solving those problems. Even knitwear retains its shape when washed in a bag.

They’re also fantastic for travel, keeping your underwear and socks neatly organized.

Or how about using them as sustainable gift packaging? You’ll delight the recipient and help the environment!

Fabric Recommendations – Depending on the Use:

• For washing: Mesh fabrics, like netting or hole mesh, are ideal. They protect clothing while allowing water and detergent to pass through effectively.
• For transport or storage: Closed/woven fabrics like cotton or polyester are great options.

Beginner-Friendly Project:

This project is perfect for beginners! All you need is a piece of fabric (depending on its intended use) and a matching zipper. The step-by-step instructions make it quick and easy to sew.

With this sewing pattern, you’ll not only create a practical project but also make your daily life a little more sustainable and organized.

Happy sewing!

  Opt for fabrics made from cotton or synthetic materials like polyester or acetate. These fabrics should not contain holes.
