A LINEN BAG
WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE. You can make a delightful linen bag to hang behind your bedroom door With a coat hanger, a piece of pretty material and three big press studs. Make a bag of material, with a hole in the centre of the closed end through 'which the hook of the hanger is put. Do not sew up the other end, but sow on the three big press studs. A slit in the cente enables you to put in dirty linen very easily and when you want to take it to the wash up simply unfasten the press studs and the contents drop out. Another length of material and a coat hanger will make a charming “tidy” to hang behind your wardrobe door. If possible use two thicknesses of material for the tidy, with a lining of buckram for stiffening, and insert a hanger in the top. Sew on pockets, in which you can keep belts, stockings, handkerchiefs, and any other oddments you may possess.
Bags in matching material for shoes, with elastic round the top, not only keep your room tidy, but keep the dust from your footwear.
