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!
