Making Padded Hangers
Supplies For Padded Hangers
You will need : Wooden hangers Washed, 100% unbleached cotton
fabric Sewing machine or needle and thread White cotton thread, pins, needle,
scissors and a pencil.
Step One. Modify the hanger needed for the
garment. You may need to remove the bar, or shorten the arm span.
* Do not use metal hangers.
Step Two Lay the hanger on the cotton sheet and
with a pencil lightly trace a outline onto the sheet.
Step Two Continued Cut the outline away from the sheet.
Remember to leave an inch or so to make it easier to work with.
Repeat this step to make the other side.
Step Three Sew the two sides together following
the pencil markings on the cotton. Do not sew the bottom together yet. Remember to leave enough room at
the top for the hook to come through.
Step Four Turn the cover inside out. This leaves
you with the smooth side facing outwards.
Step Five Cut strips of quilt batting, or cotton, to
fit the shape of your hanger. Wrap them securely, but not too
tightly, around the hangers arms starting at the centre near the hook and going to the ends.
Be aware not to over stuff the hanger, it still must fit in the fabric cover.
Step Five continued
Step Six Place the fabric cover over the hook
and stretch to insert arms. If needed, stuff extra cotton in to insure a smooth padding.
Sew the bottom closed. You may have to use a bit of force and pin the seams together to ensure a snug fit and prevent the batting from shifting while sewing.
