These make a nice gift for
someone who has everything. If you make them from
ultra suede, suiting or a tweed, it makes a nice man's gift
as well.
You will need:
- 2 wooden clothes hangers
- strips of polyester quilt batting
- 2 pcs. of taffeta or satin
- 1 yd. lace with 1 straight edge.
DIRECTIONS:
Wrap your wooden clothes hangers with batting, making it nice and
cushy.
Lay your hanger on wrong side of fabric, trace around
leaving 3/4" seam allowance. Go round entire wooden
part.
Cut 2 hangar shapes for each hanger. Place right sides
together and stitch along top and side edges. Leave 1"
opening for hook.
Press bottom edge under 1/4". Sew lace along bottom
edge going around entire front and back.
Place fabric over hook and tack lace together along
straight edge. Tie bow around the base of the hook and hand
sew to keep in place.
NOTE: You can sew a shank button about 3" in
from each end to keep straps from falling off. Better yet,
large ribbon roses.
