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 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.
