Rag Bag

I was folding my rags and trying to stack them in the cleaning closet, where they would fall over and be a mess. Then the ridiculousness of the whole thing hit me. I was trying to fold and put away rags whose lives would be lived out cleaning toilett seats and wiping up dog vomit!

So I sewed up an old fashioned rag bag. There are directions in Amanda Soule's book Handmade Home. But I just winged it since directions and me aren't fluent speakers. I wanted it to be pretty of course, cause why not? I got the material at a yard sale and the strings are from my stash.

PS: If you havn't gone to cloth rags do so! I use old t-shirts and torn towels and I have more than I could even stuff in the bag. If you use one on an exceptionally nasty job just throw it out. Even if your not into saving the environment it will certainly help save your budget. I mean have you priced a roll of Bounty lately?
