How to sew a laundry bag

Finished size of bag (approximate): 

  • Large: 25x25 inches

  • Medium: 18 W x 20 L inches

  • Small: 10 W x 18 L inches​

  • Pillow Case: 18 W x 25/28 L inches

 

Every order has specific requirements, which have to be followed when a request is made.The bags need to be uniquely identifiable by pattern or a patch.

Please take this request into consideration when making your bags it is to ensure minimal handling and that users can identify "their" bag at a glance.

Please remember that your bag will need to cope with repeated 60°C washes.
 

  • Make sure you use cotton or poly-cotton that can be washed at high temperatures. 
     

  • Finish inside seams, for example with a zigzag stitch.
     

  • Stitch forwards and backwards a couple of times at areas that will be under stress, e.g. at the drawstring. 
     

  • If your sewing machine makes buttonholes, you can sew a pair of buttonholes side by side, then make a channel all round the top of the bag for the drawstring (like in a pair of tracksuit trousers).
