Anyone with children in school knows that hats and mittens often return home soaking wet, or not at all. After finding a wet mitten had been stored in a coat sleeve, I devised this bag for the kiddo to store them in.
The main bag is 11" x 28" of nylon mesh, folded over to make a 10" x 12" finished size. Handles are 3"x 14" strips of cloth, seam allowance pressed in, and folded in half.
Hanging loop is a 1" x 3" strip of cloth, or a scrap of bias tape, sewn closed.
Top of the bag are 3" x 11" cloth strips (four total), with seam allowance pressed in, mesh and handles sandwiched inside, and snaps to shut the bag installed. One side of the bag boasts the child's name, embroidered on the top strip prior to assembly.
The purpose of this is a bag to put wet things in that can go right into the dryer, or be hung up easily; also as a designated location for hats and mitts that tend to go floating off when not in use. The two snaps keep everything inside without drawstrings, which can be a strangulation hazard.
Full pattern and assembly instructions to follow, as well as some variations for laundry bags. With the addition of a zipper, this would make a nice sock bag for laundry day.
