How would you describe grabbing the hem of a skirt so you could carry something?
Solution 1:
I don't know if this is correct grammar (or even a word) but you could say something like. "The girl hammocked the apples in her skirt"
Solution 2:
It appears that we can use the word pouched in this sense.
Sally pouched apples in her skirt and headed home to make a pie.
