Today I'm doing some easy sewing - making car trash bags. I made one for myself a few months ago; and several people saw them and
asked for one. So, I made 7 more to give them away. I still have one
more to make.
On pinterest several months ago, I saw some car trash bags that someone had made.
Theirs were small round ones that had a loop to hang on the gear shift. I
liked the concept, but came up with my
own design. I wanted mine to be larger and to hang from the headrest.
I
made them just the right size for a plastic grocery bag to fit into. I
put velcro on the straps so you can slide them through the handles of
the plastic bag and so you can fasten it on the headrest or wherever you
want it to hang.
I got the fabric at Joann's. It's a "utility" fabric that feels almost like paper. It was on the clearance table for $2.00 yd & was 60" wide. I made 8 of the bags from that fabric.
So that the bag would stand out at the top (to make it easy to drop trash into it) I inserted a piece of plastic hose into a hem at the top edge. I got it at Lowe's. It's what you would use to run water to a refrigerator ice maker. That was my husband's idea.
Here's one hanging on the back of the seat.
Beverly- what a fantastic idea - I do like the idea of positioning it behind the headrest. It works so well. Lovely collaborative effort between you and your husband as well.
ReplyDeleteLove these and I may have to copy your idea. The tube inside the upper edge is inspired!
