Managing editor and resident crafter Catherine Therrien cleverly creates a wall-mounted laundry hamper from an inexpensive – and charmingly pretty – drapery panel. A simple seam down the centre separates lights from darks.

Directions
1 Decide what you’d like written on your laundry bags. Follow the printing instructions on the package of your iron-on printer transfer sheets.

2 Fold a single drapery panel in half horizontally, lining up the outer edges. Sew the edges together with a basic straight stitch. Iron the seams.

3 Turn the drapery panel right side out. Mark the centre seam with pins and sew together. Iron the seam.

4 Mark each bag’s centre point and fuse the transfer sheets to the fabric, as per the package instructions.

5 Knot the ties and hang on the wall.
