this is such a neat idea for those special outfits that you don’t wear that often – tuck the accessories into the pockets so they’re always together, like the scarf that is for a specific dress or what ever
Using a similar idea, you can use bias tape to make loops on the bottom of the fabric, slide one end throught the spring on a wooden snap clothespin and bring both ends up to be caught in the seam and you have a nifty way to hang up everything from wet mittens (over the register or bathtub) to panty hose or underwear or bras to dry so they don’t go through the dryer! I’ve used them forever! Thank you Mom!!
