Larger peg bag with chicken!

You may remember a while ago, we made a peg bag or two. Well recently, we were asked for a larger peg bag to accommodate more pegs than you can shake a stick at! How many pegs can one person need? More than our peg bags can hold, obviously! So we set about the task. Trouble was, we didn't have much time as we had promised to make one rather quickly as said persons old peg bag had died a death (probably due to overload!).

Firstly, we thought we really needed a small wooden coat hanger. That was our first problem! We didn't have a single coat hanger suitable for the job! Once we realised we had to use the same small plastic coat hangers that we already had, we had to design the peg bag around it. Out the window went the idea of just enlarging the template!

Much scratching of heads and brain storming with lots of "oh no....hmmmm......no, that wouldn't work!" moments, we came up with this new shape! We adapted the washing line design with an added chicken and a wash basket.  The letters PEGS and all the clothes are done with a zig-zag stitch. The grass is free-motioned on afterwards.  
 

 We would change the design slightly next time....if indeed there is a next time!
