I am in the laundry a lot – it is where I cut and press fabric for my sewing projects. It gets a lot of natural light so we take most of our craft and baking photos there as well. Then there is the washing, folding, ironing …. Even though the laundry is a utility room, it can still inspire some sewing/craft projects. Here is a roundup of some of our most popular laundry craft projects, tutorials and patterns that would look great in any laundry!
Make a travel sized laundry bag to separate your dirty clothing in your suitcase. Made from a printed ripstop nylon, they are lightweight and fold up small in your suitcase. Check out our tutorial.
Keep your pegs organised in your laundry and on the washing line with this handy peg bucket. The pattern is available in our Etsy and Pattern Shop.
A plain hand towel looks great with a pretty fabric border and a crocheted edge. Check out our tutorial for all the details.
Dress up a plain wire coat hanger with some pretty fabric and felt flowers. See our tutorial for full project instructions.
Charm Square Laundry Bag features a patchwork panel made from charm squares. It is a great size for kids to store their laundry for wash day.
Protect special garments with a fabric dust cover.
Make a zippered wash bag for your delicates using sheer fabric. Check out project details here.
We made some vinyl lettering for our laundry Wash . Dry . Fold . Repeat . ( just in case we forget the drill! ) Find more details here.
It is fun adding some home-made details to each room of the house!
Hi Lisa thankyou so much for your tutorials,i am going to make the laundry bag,hope you have a lovely sunday.xx
Thanks Shez! Hope your Sunday is fun too 🙂 Sadly i am back to work tomorrow after a 2 week break so won’t have as much time to sew.
You are an inspiration! I generally consider it a victory if I manage to keep the the top surface of *either* the washer *or* the dryer clear of clutter, but now you are making me consider investing a little thought and time into making the laundry zone not only tidy but visually pleasant. Thanks 🙂
Every room can benefit from a few homemade touches 🙂
