Fabric Hanger Covers Day Dreams 2012
These easy to make covers work up quickly
so you can make an entire gift set for you or
a friend in no time at all. Made to fit a
standard plastic hanger they have an open
bottom. The opening allows for hanging of
clothes underneath and for easy removal of
the cover to wash when needed. Why not
make this a green project and use old
apparel you were going to donate to the
thrift store for these practical gifts?
Materials:
Scrap fabric or 1/4 yard of remnant 44”-45”
Thread to match
One hanger for each cover
*All seams are 1/4’” unless otherwise noted.
Step 1: Cut & Mark After pattern is printed, cut out carefully on
heavy lines. Place pattern on fold of fabric. Cut 2 for each cover
used. Mark pattern notches and stay stitching lines where indi-
cated.
Step 2: Top Opening Stay stitch along lines at top of covers.
Clip curves in 3 places, one each near ends and one in the center
close to stay stitching—but not past. Press curve inward to wrong
side of fabric. Top stitch close to finished edge.
Step 3: Side Seams Matching notches and edges, place wrong
sides together of covers. Sew 1/4” seams from top down, carefully
sewing curve of cover. Clip curves of cover close to stitching for
ease. Press.
Step 4: Hem Press 1/8” in bottom of cover all the way around
(hem). Turn up another 1/8” and press, pin in place. Stitch hem
in place. Press cover .
Slide cover over hanger by placing hook into top opening and
smoothing fabric over hanger curves. Finished!

I prefer finished seams, so I
either zig-zag stitch a seam
when finished or use my over-
lock on the seams.
If wish, you can use a small bit
of light wt interfacing for the
cover opening at the top. I
found it’s not really necessary
but some may prefer to use
this as a stabilizer.
This pattern adjusts nicely to
smaller hangers and is perfect
for wire hangers.
Be creative and make patch-
work covers!
