You can choose fabrics and color depending on the person you are making the laundry bag for. Your daughter’s old dress or her towel or pillow cover can be used for her laundry bag. Long skirts, especially denim skirls are ideal for drawstring laundry bags. You can personalise it by stitching the initial or name or a favorite design.
